Our group and the astroparticle physics group in Freiburg (Germany) have worked on the last five years on research and development challenges towards the DARWIN multi-ton scale xenon observatory, an effort funded by European Research Council (ERC) grants.
Some of our Freiburg colleagues, including the group leader Prof. Dr. Marc Schumann (a former member of our group) visited us for the 10th FR-UZH ERC meeting.
The discussions focused on the status of the full-height (Xenoscope, UZH) and full-with (PANCAKE, Freiburg) DARWIN demonstrators, as well as photosensor characterization, properties of liquid xenon, detector technologies for background suppression, software developments for experiment monitoring, and sensitivity studies of the DARWIN physics reach.
