The new external facilities of the LSC biology laboratory have been completed in recent months. They now have the necessary equipment to reproduce the same assay conditions over and underground, the only difference between the two environments being the low radioactive background that is achieved by going deep into the heart of the mountain.
Access to new experiments in underground science with the acquisition of a flow cytometer at the LSC.
On the evening of 29 September 2023, researchers from the LSC travelled to Huesca to participate in the European Researchers Night.
Next Sunday 24!" September, the LSC will celebrate its Open Day with free access activities such as a Visit to the Museum Room, Experimental Workshops, Demonstrations of Detection Techniques and Workshops for Kids.
The LSC acquired a new triple quadrupole ICP-MS/MS, which was installed inside the Clean Room in our underground facilities. The ICP-MS equipment (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer) provides elemental information, either by qualitative, semi-quantitative and/or quantitative analysis, by ionising samples in an Argon plasma generated at atmospheric pressure.
Over this summer, members of the staff of the NEXT experiment from England, Spain and the United States completed the assembly and insertion of the NEXT-100 TPC.

El LSC ha celebrado la primera Aula Científica para estudiantes de 2º de la ESO, en el marco del Foro de Comunicación y Escuela, organizado por el Principado de Asturias en la cual, 46 alumnos de 5 institutos de Asturias han convivido con 15 alumnos de Jaca con un programa científico diseñado a su medida.
Diana Morant Ripoll, Minister of Science and Innovation, visited the LSC facilities to see the progress of the Spanish contribution to the construction of the HyperKamiokande experiment and the underground construction of the NEXT-100 detector.
This week, staff from the NEXT collaboration completed the assembly of the 40 radio-pure copper bars, provided by the LSC, which form part of the shielding of the new NEXT-100 detector.
