general information

 

The aim of this mini-workshop is to discuss the recent status of Dark Matter searches and coherent neutrino scattering, with a stress on innovative technologies with low background, low energy threshold and directional capability. In this context, we are presenting a  new international enterprise for the construction of a global galactic elastic recoil Observatory, to be called CYGNUS-TPC. We envisage the ultimate vision of this experiment to be a multi-ton target mass gas to be detected by Time Projection Chambers distributed in five underground laboratories scattered around the globe. We are building a new international collaboration to prepare the Letter Of Intent and the proposal. For these reasons, the first day of the workshop will be dedicated to phenomenological and experimental reviews together with CYGNUS-TPC presentation, while the second to a more detailed discussion of CYGNUS-TPC LOI and collaboration formulation. 

logistic information

A visit to Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso has been organized for the CYGNUS-TPC collaborators and anybody else who wish to attend on the 6th April for the full day. Please, communicate as soon as possible (including CYGNUS-TPC collaborators) to the organizers if you want to take part to the visit since availability is very limited (for cost reason private cars will be used).

While the social dinner will be held on the 7th April evening, we would like to provide a characteristic and authentic eating experience for any others evenings as well, especially for CYGNUS-TPC collaborators. Therefore, please communicate to the organizers if you wish to attend any other dinner.
