COSINUS INAUGURATION
The COSINUS experiment was inaugurated on April 18th, 2024!
Facility Construction finished!
The low-background underground cryogenic facility has finished construction in-line with principles outlined in a recent paper discussing the passive shielding design of the COSINUS experiment.
Congratulations are in order to our newly minted Dr. Felix Wagner!
DM limit with mini-prototype
Our recent result highlights the first underground test of our first NaI prototype detector at LNGS, achieving competitive results with only 11.6g d of data. It paves the way for testing of larger NaI crystals in the near future.
