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 DarkQuantum project, coordinated from the Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA) at the University of Zaragoza, was recently featured in the Tercer Milenio science section of the newspaper Heraldo de Aragón. The article highlights the project’s innovative approach, combining quantum technologies and particle physics to tackle one of the greatest mysteries of
Ultra-high-energy cosmic messengers Rafael Alves Batista is a Professor at the Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris at the Sorbonne Université (France) Website: https://www.8rafael.com/en/ Abstract: The origins of the most energetic particles in the Universe have been a long-standing puzzle. In the quest to identify their sources, it is crucial to understand how
DESI-Y1: New light on the dark Universe Eusebio Sánchez, Scientific researcher at CIEMAT, PI of the Cosmology Group Abstract: The beginning of the 21st century brought the development and confirmation of the standard model of cosmology, LCDM. The Universe is made of a 70% of dark energy in the form of a cosmological constant, a

Jorge Sanz Forcada, Investigador Científico en el Centro de Astrobiología, del INTA-CSIC Abstract: Currently known extrasolar planets population is biased towards short-period planets. They tend to be highly irradiated. Photons in the XUV range (1-912 A) are of special importance in this context because they ionize neutral H atoms, yielding planetary atmosphere photoevaporation, which in
