We conduct experimental research to solve some of the most challenging mysteries in modern physics: the discovery and subsequent characterization of dark matter. So far, dark matter has not yet been detected directly and the expected interaction rate in our detectors is extremely small. We develop and operate detectors with an extremely low background to search for dark matter.

Research

The group is involved in several experimental projects.

Their common principle is their extremely low background level which enables sensitive searches for (new) particles.
