Basic research in the subnuclear realm deals with tiniest entities in our Universe. Dapnia strives to answer unsolved questions about these: What is the origin of mass? Is there a single, universal force? What are the properties of neutrinos? ...
We now know that we observe but a small fraction of the Universe’s content. What are its main building blocks? Dark matter, dark energy, the fate of primordial antimatter are at the core of this research. ...
From the Big Bang to galaxies and stars, the Universe has been evolving for 13 billion years. Dapnia researchers want to understand how matter was distributed in the first moments, and how galaxies and clusters originated and evolved from this initial state. ...
Whereas the birth of stars can be quiet, their demise may be cataclysmic, leaving remnants with extraordinary properties: pulsars, black holes, micro-quasars… Dapnia is interested in all stages of their life cycle, including our own Sun. ...
In extreme conditions, new nuclei are formed and new states of matter may appear. Neutrons and protons display different arrangements in nuclei that puzzle Dapnia physicists: what rules do they obey? Which models are best suited to describe the nucleus? What are the astrophysical implications? ...
New instruments for physics research require state-of-the art knowledge, as well as untried technologies. Researchers-engineers and technicians at Dapnia are designing and building, in collaboration with industry, the necessary equipment for physics experiments at laboratories around the world, be ...

Basic research in nuclear physics paves the way for new developments in the field of nuclear energy. The teams at Dapnia are providing CEA with basic nuclear data; they are also studying the possible transmutation of long-lived nuclear waste, and contributing to projects in nuclear fusion. ...
Knowledge and technology developed for basic research prove to be useful in many other fields: Dismantling of nuclear installations, development of sophisticated medical imaging tools or climate studies benefit today from the expertise at Dapnia. ...
