Neutrino Physics at Low Energy: Coherent Scattering and the CONUS Experiment Lecturer: Kaixiang Ni (Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (MPIK), Heidelberg) Abstract: Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering(CEνNS) is a standard model neutrino interaction with energy down to keV level. It is predicted to have the largest cross-section, but only until 2017 was it first detected by the COHERENT […]

Aragón participates in these plans
The Governing Council of the University of Zaragoza agrees to the creation of the Universidad de Zaragoza’s own University Research Institute, Center for Astroparticles and High Energies (CAPA), on May 29, 2024. Congratulations CAPA! Link to the agreement of the Government Council.
The Group of Nuclear and Astroparticle Physics at CAPA and University of Zaragoza is opening a PhD student position (FPI) to work on dark matter direct detection with NaI(Tl) and Liquid Argon scintillators (experiments ANAIS+ and DarkSide)The successful candidate will take an active role in the development and characterization of sodium iodide detector prototypes for
Multimessenger physics, gravitational waves and quantum gravity Lecturer: Antonia Micol Frassino (University of Alcalá & ICC University of Barcelona) Abstract: Potential experimental signatures of the quantum nature of gravity are becoming a thriving field with a multitude of approaches in different directions. In this talk I will first overview the contribution of gravitational waves to multimessenger
Next Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 7 p.m., the documentary “Cazando lo Invisible” by Mirella R. Abrisqueta will premiere at Cines Grancasa, in which researchers from the Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA) of the University of Zaragoza have participated. We only know what 5% of the Universe is made of. The rest
The sun continues to turn, the new winter solstice is approaching, and with it, a new celebration of Saturnalia.
A new edition of the “Hands on Dark Matter” activity is coming. High school students will enjoy a morning of immersion in research into particle physics, radioactivity, astrophysics and dark matter. This year we are visited by the following centers: IES Clara Campoamor, C.P. Enrique de Ossó, IES Rodanas, CPES La Salle Santo Ángel, IES
At CAPA we are preparing for a new edition of Dark Matter Day. Come and learn about our research in a fun way for everyone. At the Faculty of Sciences, on October 31, starting at 5:00 p.m. More information at gifna.unizar.es/dmday
