by Panos Charitos

The PH-DT group recently completed the construction of the straw chambers for the NA62 tracking detector. 

The AEgIS Experiment

The AEgIS experiment (Antimatter Experiment: Gravity, Interferometry, Spectroscopy) at CERN is designed to examine the effects of gravity on antimatter.

CAST opens a new window into dark energy and dark matter after 11 years of operation and continuous renewal.

by Dieter Hoffmann (TU-Darmstadt) & Konstantin Zioutas (University of Patras)

CAST is searching for these particles with a telescope designed to detect axions from the Sun. It uses an unexpected hybrid of equipment from particle physics and astronomy.

Kara Lynch has been awarded the 2013 Early Career award from UK's Institute of Physics for her research in ISOLDE.

ISOLDE has recently published a series of papers in Nature and Nature communication.
