The DarkSide-20k and ARGO experiments, dedicated to the direct detection of dark matter, are also proving to be suitable for the detection of cosmic neutrinos, and in particular neutrinos emitted during core-collapse supernovae. The result presented here reviews the sensitivity of these dark matter detectors in the search for neutrino events from supernovae. DarkSide-20k and ARGO are future liquid argon […]

The APC laboratory is heavily involved in the development of X-IFU, the high-resolution spectrometer for Athena, the future European X-ray space observatory currently scheduled for launch in 2031. The result described here is a further step in the development of the X-IFU readout chain. Powerful sources of X-rays, extreme phenomena such as black holes, galaxy clusters and star explosions, are […]

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting shortage of ventilators, the DarkSide collaboration develops a new model of easily produced and low-cost mechanical ventilators. A prototype has already been made and is now being tested in an Italian hospital. In many countries including France, hospitals are presently undergoing a shortage of artificial ventilators, which are essential to help […]
