The Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA) at the University of Zaragoza will organize IDM 2026 (International Conference on Identification of Dark Matter), to be held in Zaragoza in June 2026. IDM is a leading international conference in astroparticle physics, focusing on the search for and identification of dark matter, as well as […]
The Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA), established in 2019, is taking a decisive step in its trajectory and is consolidating itself as a University Research Institute. This new status represents recognition of the excellence of its scientific work and will enable it to access more competitive funding calls, secure greater resources, and
Next Monday, October 6, 2025, the official inauguration of the University Research Institute (IUI) Centro de Astropartículas y Física de Altas Energías (CAPA) will take place, with the presence of the Rector of the University of Zaragoza, Rosa Bolea; the Director General for Science and Research of the Government of Aragón, Pilar Gayán; the Director
New test of DAMA/LIBRA result available: No modulation observed by ANAIS and COSINE collaborations. The results corresponding to the combined three-year datasets have been published this week in Physical Review Letters. This result has been highlighted as editor’s suggestion and featured in the Physics Magazine: https://physics.aps.org/articles/v18/s117 Full text available at: https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/9j7w-qp1c
A study by the Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA-Unizar) establishes the most restrictive limit, refuting the signal from the DAMA/LIBRA experiment, the only one to date that claims to have detected a signal from galactic dark matter. The new, highly significant result, published in Physical Review Letters, represents the culmination of two
The Governing Council of the University of Zaragoza has definitively approved the creation of the Center for Astroparticles and High Energies (CAPA), as well as its internal regulations. The fundamental objective of the University Research Institute Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics is to promote research in the fields of high-energy physics, nuclear and
The Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA) at the University of Zaragoza has participated in a study published in Nature Astronomy. The research, led by an international collaboration including Professor Jacobo Asorey Barreiro, has discovered a relationship between the orientation of particle jets from supermassive black holes and the minor axis of the elliptical
The international collaboration CAST (CERN Axion Solar Telescope) was created in the early 2000s and has had the participation and leadership of researchers from the Centre for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA-Unizar) since its inception. CAST has culminated the efforts of more than two decades of work with the publication in Physical Review Letters
The Division of Theoretical and Particle Physics (DFTP) of the Royal Spanish Society of Physics (RSEF), wishing to recognize the work carried out in Spain by young researchers in its field of knowledge, announces the VI DFTP Prize for doctoral theses officially presented during 2023 in any of the Spanish universities. The award has two
Iván Coarasa, member of CAPA and part of the ANAIS research team, has presented today the preliminary results on annual modulation corresponding to 6 years of data of ANAIS-112 at the IDM 2024 conference in L’Aquila (Italy). ANAIS-112 sees no modulation. Sensitivity to DAMA/LIBRA above 4 sigma level has been achieved and the best fit
