Master’s Degree in Physics of the Universe at the LSC
Students enrolled in the Master's Degree in Physics of the Universe: Cosmology, Astrophysics, Particles and Astroparticles visited the LSC facilities. This visit corresponds to the introductory part of the practical training associated with the studies undertaken, which the laboratory has been carrying out for years.In the practical part, they will [...]

LSC participates in the European Researchers’ Night
On the evening of 26th September, researchers from LSC travelled to Huesca and Zaragoza to participate in the European Researchers' Night. Through workshops on cosmic rays and radioactivity, mass spectrometry and copper electroforming, as well as a new workshop on biology from home, the attendees were able to learn more about the science behind the laboratory. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Excavation of the colossal cavern to house the main detector for the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment is complete.
On July 31, 2025, the Hyper-Kamiokande collaboration completed the excavation of the colossal cavern that will house the main detector volume of Hyper-Kamiokande, a next-generation ultra-pure water Cherenkov detector currently under construction in the city of Hida, Gifu, Japan.
New hydrostatic tests for the sensor covers of the Hyper-Kamiokande telescope in collaboration with ITP
A few weeks ago, we successfully completed a new hydrostatic test campaign to validate the protective covers for the sensors of the future Hyper-Kamiokande (HK) neutrino telescope. A team from the LSC traveled to the ITP facilities in Mòra d'Ebre (Tarragona) and tested 12 covers: two of them with acrylics aged with temperature and humidity to simulate transport to Japan, and another two submerged in water to study the effects of absorption on the final system. Another step forward for the LSC in this great international Project.
