Cosmic silence
COSINUS is filling the water Cherenkov muon veto!
COSINUS pool is almost full!
COSINUS is filling the 7x7 meter water tank which will act as active Cherenkov Muon Veto. The commission is going on full speed!
Congratulations to our new Ph.D. Dr. Leonie Einfalt!
Cherenkov Muon Veto
Another milestone for the COSINUS experiment: the Cherenkov Muon Veto installation is complete!
COSINUS INAUGURATION
The COSINUS experiment was inaugurated on April 18th, 2024!
