X International Cosmic Day
One more year the LSC contributed to the celebration of the “X International Cosmic Day” together with the high schools of Jaca I.E.S. Domingo Miral and I.E.S. Pirineos. Students from both schools carried out several activities with our muon telescopes. It ended with a videoconference with other students from [...]
OPENING THE CRYOSTAT OF THE CROSS EXPERIMENT
Members of the CROSS-experiment collaboration are at the LSC this week carrying out works aimed at measuring the vibration of the cryostat’s holding structure and of the cryostat itself to define a vibration function.
BIO Retreat
The LSC held a “BIO-Retreat” given that, as part of its strategic plan, it has initiated the biology research area in the underground laboratory where the implications of low radiation on biological processes will be explored. Experts in Virology, Biochemistry, Mathematics and Physics from centres in Valencia, Madrid and [...]
BIOLOGY BRINGS MORE LIFE TO THE LSC
New installations underground, a lead castle to host experiments in a reduced gamma background and the microbiology laboratory to prepare and manipulate samples, will be ready to host experiments that explore the striking impact of life in absence of cosmic rays since 2022.
Trans-Pyrenees Foundation Meeting
The Monitoring Committee of the projects financed by the European funds of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for the reopening of the International Rail line of Canfranc has held a technical meeting at the LSC facilities to assess the status of the activities envisaged.
WORKSHOP RADIUM TAGGING (RITA)
On Thursday 16 September, the Radium Tagging (RITA) Workshop was held at the LSC, where researchers from the DIPC, UPV/EHU, CFM, Ikerbasque and the LSC presented results on the design of barium and radium chelating molecules, surface binding, ultra-high vacuum measurements of molecular properties, cation separation by ICP-MS techniques and laser-induced fluorescence measurements, preparatory to the RITA facility that will be hosted at the LSC in 2022.
