DAMPE Detector

Everything, everywhere, all at once in particle physics

It’s always exciting to find a new use for an existing tool. Researchers from Geneva University, Andrii Tykhonov and Paul Coppin, discovered that DAMPE – a detector built to analyze

The picture was taken at the Institute of Physics of Geneva University, as CERN was still a muddy construction site at that time. All these people have now retired, but all of the magnets are still pulsing away.
