The work of our former master student Livio Redard-Jacot was awarded the “Best Master Thesis in Experimental Physics at UZH”, sponsored by Detrics Ltd. The award is given annually to the best thesis in experimental physics of the year and determined by a panel of internal and external experts to UZH.
We are delighted to share our participation in the Symposium University of Tokyo – ETH Zurich – University of Zurich, Interdisciplinary Strategic Partnership Tokyo - Zurich, held on 16-17 October 2023 at ETH Zürich, Hönggerberg Siemens Auditorium.
The GERDA collaboration presented the measurement of the two-neutrino double-β (2νββ) decay rate of 76Ge performed with the GERDA Phase 2 experiment, which was published in Phys. Rev. Lett. today as editor's suggestion.
The students and postdocs from our group attended and contributed to several conferences this summer, both local and international.
To study construction and operation challenges for the planned multi-tonne scale dark matter detector DARWIN, we designed and built Xenoscope, a vertical full-scale demonstrator aiming at investigating the electron transport and survival over a 2.6 m drift path and the high voltage distribution for the DARWIN time projection chamber (TPC), among others.
The XENON collaboration reported first results on a search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with the XENONnT experiment.
Our group members Dr. Christian Wittweg, Gabriela R. Araujo and Paloma Cimental, have received Postdoc and Candoc grants from the Forschungskredit UZH Founds.
The Xenoscope vertical demonstrator for the DARWIN experiment utilizes an array of silicon photomultipliers within its 2.6 m long time projection chamber (TPC).
The description of the production process and of the characterisation of low-neutron emission 228-Th sources for the calibration of the neutrinloess double-beta decay experiment LEGEND-200 was published todayin JINST 18, 2023.
