Astroparticle Symposium kicks off

Starting this Monday, we are pleased to host the Astroparticle Symposium 2025, launching with a week dedicated to direct detection of ultra-light to light dark matter. This week’s program explores experimental strategies to search for low-mass dark matter in the laboratory (axions, ALPs, light WIMPs, dark sector). The presentations wil provide an overview of recent progress in instrumentation and experimental results, as flagship experiments begin to probe theoretical predictions within this parameter space. Key challenges (detector sensitivity and signal interpretation) will be at the heart of the discussions.
