The search for dark matter compatible with the search for supernovae

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 […]

Against COVID-19 epidemic, physicists create newly designed medical ventilator

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 […]

APC colloquium “Dark matter beyond WIMPs : light, warm, fuzzy and others” on Friday, June 15

  Eric Armengaud (IRFU/DPhP CEA Saclay) kindly accepted to give a colloquium entitled “Dark matter beyond WIMPs : light, warm, fuzzy and others”,at 11am on Friday, June 15, in room 454A of Condorcet building at Université Paris Diderot. Title: Dark matter beyond WIMPs : light, warm, fuzzy and others. Abstract: Many astrophysical and cosmological observations can only be interpreted assuming the existence of a dark matter component in […]
