We share the work done in a clean room to make changes inside a detector. As you can see, taking care of possible contamination is essential and, for this reason, the clean room of the Canfranc Underground Laboratory is used. The team has been working all last week and continue to work this week to […]
Scholarship funded by the Canfranc underground laboratory (LSC) on an interdisciplinary program combining neutrino physics and quantum information: «Milikelvin technology for neutrino physics and quantum computing» The thesis will consist on the study of the neutrinoless double beta decay of 100Mo with the CROSS experiment at the LSC and the systematic evaluation of radioactive sources
A new COST Action called «COSMIC WISPers in the Dark Universe: Theory, astrophysics and experiments» has been recently approved by the COST Committee. The Action deals with axions and other WISPs and their connection with astrophysics and cosmology. It is coordinated by A. Mirizzi of U. Bari and counts withe the participation of CAPA members, and many
Investigadores del CAPA han participado en el 19th Multidark Consolider Workshop celebrado en Miraflores de la Sierra del 23 al 25 de mayo de 2022. David Díez, Cristina Margalejo y Tamara Pardo han hablado de su investigación en TREXDM, IAXO y ANAIS. Enhorabuena a los tres!
Call for research position at the Nuclear and Astroparticle Physics Group – Centro de Astropartículas y Física de Altas Energías (CAPA)- Universidad de Zaragoza 1 postdoc position We are looking excellent and motivated candidates with experimental particle physics background to join the IAXO-UZ group. The host group at the University of Zaragoza has a leading
Lecturer: Jacobo Varela Rodríguez (Universidad Carlos III, Madrid) Abstract: This presentation discusses synergies between different plasma physics fields, emphasising in the astrophysical plasmas. In particular, exoplanet habitability is a hot topic in the scientific community, devoted to developing new observational as well as numerical models dedicated to analyzing the exoplanet environment. In the last decade,
Curso extraordinario organizado por el CAPA del 18/07/2022 al 20/07/2022 y coordinado por Theopisti Dafni y Eduardo Follana Adín. Objetivos: El reto con el que se encuentra actualmente la física fundamental, tras el descubrimiento del Higgs, que completa el modelo estándar, es la física más allá de dicho modelo, necesaria para entender y describir la energía
Cherenkov telescopes are instruments optimized for detection of very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma rays from astrophysics sources. They play a crucial role in testing possible consequences of Quantum Gravity (QG), such as violation or deformation of Lorentz symmetry. In both cases, the photon dispersion relation is modified, making the photon group
Diego Blas is a researcher at UAB (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona) and IFAE (Instituto de Física de Altas Energías). His research interests are in theoretical physics, gravitation and cosmology. Abstract: In this talk, current and future efforts to detect gravitational waves from Earth and space observatories will be reviewed. Diego will also emphasise the physical
Héctor Gómez-Maluenda ist a researcher at «Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives» (CEA – France) Abstract: The use of muons produced at the Earth’s atmosphere as radiation source for the scanning of big structures is usually referred as muography. Since first muography attempts by Alvarez in the 1970s, the range of applications of
