DARWIN Observatory

DARWIN is an R&D collaboration for XLZD, the future LXe observatory in astroparticle physics focussed on dark matter and neutrino science. Supported by ERC.

New cosmic-scale gravity tests using CMB distortions across hundreds of thousands of galaxy clusters show Newton–Einstein gravity holds, tightening constraints on modified gravity and bolstering dark matter. https://t.co/NO4dEx9tJ0 https://t.co/PTcGb05mqg

The number of grant applications is rising sharply. Our capacity for their evaluation isn’t.

ERC President Maria Leptin explains why stricter resubmission limits are being introduced for 2027 calls and what this mean for applicants.

これにて名古屋生活終了です！
なんだかんだ8年も住むと名古屋に愛着でてくるもんですね。
新天地でも頑張ります！！

The XENON collaboration, which usually looks for dark matter, has searched for x rays from dynamical quantum collapse models, improving previous constraints by two orders of magnitude https://t.co/2Pl7nUZmE0 #OpenAccess

[Laura Baudis @lbaudis]

We searched for x-rays in XENONnT's low-energy data, as predicted from dynamical quantum collapse models, and improved upon previous constraints by up to two orders of magnitude: https://t.co/rTMJ0O0s4l

Dark Energy Survey 6-year results: The S8 tension with CMB is still there (left plot), but still only two sigma-ish. Cosmological constant dark energy (w = -1, right plot) continues to be favored. The death of ΛCDM keeps not happening.

Dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Join a webinar – broadcast from nearly a mile underground – to hear the latest results from the LZ #DarkMatter experiment at 10am MT on Dec. 8.

Astrophysicist Arthur McDonald uncovered a secret of one of the most mysterious and ghostly particles of our universe - the neutrino.

At SNOLAB, a science laboratory 2km underground, McDonald proved that neutrinos have mass. He shared the 2015 physics prize with Takaaki Kajita.

XENONnT is the first experiment to measure nuclear recoils from solar neutrinos
Today, July 10, at the #IDM2024 in L’Aquila (IT), Fei Gao, from Tsingua Universitiy, reported this result: we can say that XENONnT enters into the so-called “neutrino fog”.This is a great achievement!

#DarkMatter is thought to make up 85% of the mass of the universe. Weakly Interactive Massive Particles (WIMPs) are 1 of many possible types of dark matter particles.

It's #ThrowbackThursday! Last month, members of @XLZDconsortium held a meeting @RutherfordApLab.

The international group of researchers discussed their plans for the largest ever liquid xenon experiment dedicated to searching for #DarkMatter🔍
