Welcome to the Experimental Neutrino Physics Group at IFIC, where the mysteries of the universe are not just contemplated, but actively unraveled. Here, amidst the dance of elusive particles, we seek to understand the fundamental building blocks of reality. Our quest is driven by curiosity, fuelled by innovation, and anchored in rigorous scientific inquiry.

Dark matter
Dark matter is an invisible substance that makes up most of the universe’s mass, yet does not interact with light
Experiments
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international scientific endeavor aimed at unlocking the mysteries of neutrinos, the most abundant matter particles in the universe. By studying neutrinos, DUNE seeks to answer fundamental questions about the nature of matter and the evolution of the universe. Neutrino oscillations, proton decay, …
The NEXT (Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC) project is an international collaboration focused on searching for a rare nuclear process known as neutrinoless double-beta decay. This process, if observed, could provide crucial insights into the nature of neutrinos and help explain the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe
Aims to develop an innovative, single-phase noble-liquid time projection chamber with electroluminiscence amplification to detect coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, a neutrino interaction which enables miniaturisation of otherwise massive neutrino detectors. The TPC’s unique conical shape will ‘funnel’ the drifting charges towards a small amplification region.
