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!
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.
