Follow-up of the IceCube neutrino source candidate TXS 0506-056

  The ANTARES and HESS collaborations have followed-up the IceCube observation of a first possible high-energy neutrino source candidate, and the APC groups have had a strong role in these searches. The IceCube Collaboration has reported, in a press conference at the US National Science Foundation on July 12th 2018, a correlation between high-energy neutrinos and the blazar known as […]

First detection unit of the KM3NeT/ORCA neutrino detector

Last week, an extensive sea operation took place to deploy several elements of the KM3NeT/ORCA detector at the KM3NeT-Fr site, about 40 km offshore from Toulon. Amongst them, the first detection unit of ORCA comprising 18 optical modules, spaced at 9 m along a 200 m high vertical neutrino detection line. The deployment and connection of the detection unit was performed with the […]

New UnivEarthS projects in 2017

Following the scientific committee of 28 and 29 November 2016, proposals for new projects were examined by the Executive Board. The scientific committee represents an important moment in the life of Labex, where the probabilities of producing new significant results, both in terms of science and impact, are estimated for the overall program. For the year 2017, UnivEarthS has selected […]
