Workshop on future Dark Matter Experiments

Oct 15, 2013, 7:00 AM → Oct 16, 2013, 8:00 PM Europe/Zurich

Clubraum (Austrian Academy of Sciences)

Brigitte De Monte (HEPHY), Jochen Schieck (Ludwig-Maximilians-Univ. Muenchen (DE))

TU Wien together with HEPHY will start a new group working on direct Dark Matter (DM) detection. Aim of this workshop is to discuss possible and most beneficial contributions from Vienna to ongoing and future DM experiments.
