Development of detectors
flexible bulk micromegas developed for CLAS12
As the construction of the large-scale instruments for the LHC reaches its final phase, DAPNIA is already preparing for the future with an ambitious program of research and development, both for the future linear collider and for the next observation satellites or underground experiments searching for dark matter.

Forest fires are a constant danger, particularly for arid countries. They act as a brake on economic development and are a threat to environment, by the large scale release of greenhouse gases as well as by the destruction of ecosystems.
The FORFIRE project, which includes the use ... More » |

A team of physicists, engineers and technicians from IRFU are developing a new generation of MicroMegas trackers. The planned Compass II experiment at CERN, together with the Clas12 experiment at the Jefferson Lab, will impose new operational constraints preventing the current generation of ... More » |
