The 17th International Conference on Topics in Astroparticle and Underground Physics (TAUP) will be held from August 26th to September 3rd. The conference covers recent experimental and theoretical developments in astroparticle physics, in particular:
Cosmology and particle physics
Dark matter and its detection
Neutrino physics and astrophysics
Gravitational waves
High-energy astrophysics and cosmic rays
With support from the DarkWave project, AstroCeNT team members will also take part in TAUP conference, covering topics related to activities of the Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration.
On 26th of August Dr Marcin Kuźniak, the leader of Research Group 1, will have a talk about status of the DEAP-3600 experiment — a single-phase liquid argon dark matter detector operating 2 km underground at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. Dr Kuźniak’s talk will present the latest results from DEAP-3600, the status of the ongoing analyses, as well as of the hardware upgrade.
On 30th of August Dr Cenk Turkoglu, postdoctoral researcher at AstroCeNT Research Group 1, will present his poster with the optical simulation model of the DarkSide-20k (a rare-event search experiment dedicated to finding signals of dark matter particles) Veto detector.
