Carlos Pobes is a Senior Scientist, Institute of Nanoscience and Materials of Aragon (INMA, CSIC – UNIZAR) Abstract: In this seminar, we will learn about the peculiarities of a large facility, the Amundsen-Scott scientific base at the South Pole, and then explore one of the unique experiments installed there, the IceCube neutrino telescope. We will […]
Abstract: The use of TPCs (Time Projection Chambers) in particle physics experiments has been growing since their invention, and with it the development of their reading planes, reaching sizes equivalent to buildings. But its use in what are usually called unlikely event experiments has been more recent. This thesis focuses on charge reading planes for
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
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
First meeting of the AstroHEP Complementary Plans Around 100 astrophysicists and particle physicists will meet from June 5 to 7, 2024 at the University of Zaragoza to discuss the current state of research and advances in the different areas of the Complementary Plans for Astrophysics and High Energy Physics . 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.
