Inauguration of the LSC’s New Center at Walqa
On November 7th, the director of Walqa and the mayor of Huesca welcomed the LSC to the Walqa ecosystem, Huesca’s technology park, where the LSC has established a new logistics center. At this center, the PMT covers of the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment will be stored and undergo quality control before being shipped and installed in Japan in 2026.
35th meeting of the LSC Scientific Advisory Committee
On November 5th and 6th, the 35th meeting of the LSC Scientific Advisory Committee took place. The Committee heard presentations from the DArT, BabyIAXO, TREX-DM, and NEXT experiments and reviewed written reports from the other experiments. In addition, researcher Juan José Gómez Cadenas (DIPC) shared the future plan for the NEXT experiment, which includes the development of NEXT-HD: a TPC with 1 ton of enriched xenon, designed for the search for neutrinoless double beta decay.

Bio Platform: experiment “Learning from microGravity and non-Cosmic radiaction in Fishnauts”
During the week of October 7th, the first experiment with vertebrates was conducted at the LSC, led by researcher Laia Ribas, one of the crew members of the Hypatia I project. The aim of the experiment is to study the impact of microgravity and the absence of radiation on two species: zebrafish, a key model in biomedical research, and sea bass, a species commonly used in aquaculture. The results of GraCosFish will bring us closer to the possibility of raising fish in space.
