A new web site for the DUNE experiment

FERMILAB (USA) set up a new web for DUNE, the experiment on neutrino oscillations in which IJCLab is involved.

Covid-19 crisis: Thesis and HDR Defences start again thanks to online tools

Exceptional circumstances call for exceptional measures: through its PRA (Plan de Reprise d'Activités- Disaster recovery plan), IJCLab supports the organization of Thesis Defences and HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches), applying appropriate protection measures!

Andromède at IJCLab helps the STELLA experiment to study carbon fusion in massive stars

To calculate more reliable stellar evolution scenarios, astrophysicists need to know as precisely as possible the rate of carbon fusion. Nuclear physicists who reproduce stellar energy conditions in the laboratory, through collisions between a particle beam and a target, are able to provide direct measurements of carbon fusion rates...

Covid-19 crisis: IJCLab provides valuable help with 3D printing supplies

IJCLab has contributed to the efforts of the 3D4Care consortium to cope with the demand for headbands that equip the face shield distributed to specialized structures in Paris and around.

The latest results from the Double-Chooz experiment contributes to our understanding of neutrinos

Since the shutdown of its detectors in early 2018, the international Double-Chooz collaboration has continued to analyze its data in order to constrain the θ13 angle as much as possible. Its value characterizes the least known mode of oscillation of neutrinos on which subsequent research on the asymmetry between neutrinos and antineutrinos hinges.

Achille Stocchi, IJCLab Director, presents our laboratory to scientific & technical communities

Achille Stocchi gave recently two interviews: one to Université Paris-Saclay, the other to CNRS-IN2P3, presenting our laboratory at the local and national levels.

A CNRS 80 Prime 2020 grant awarded to IJCLab

The MITI (Mission for Transversal and Interdisciplinary Initiatives) of the CNRS has selected projects intended to support and strengthen the interdisciplinarity between the CNRS institutes within the framework of its 80 Prime call for projects.

The PartonicNucleus project led by IJCLab, winner of an ERC grant

The PartonicNucleus project, winner of an ERC (European Research Council) grant, will certainly contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of quarks in the atomic nucleus.

ALTO has gained a new connection wtih 10 Gb/s !

Some of the large-scale experiments at ALTO require the acquisition of large volumes of data. In preparation for the Nu-Ball experiment, it was necessary to resolve the problem of transferring large amounts of data via the internet, from one of the ALTO experiment rooms to VirtualData.

CAPTINNOV is ready to work

The CAPTINNOV clean room has become functional since mid-March 2020, after the under-peak station, the focal point of the platform, has moved from building 209 to building 200.

The quest for extreme blazars, prodigious extragalactic particle accelerators

Probing the structure of the Universe at larger and larges scales, perfecting the laws of fundamental physics or of plasma physics… these are among the many ambitious objectives that astrophysicists tirelessly aim for through their work and their observations.

IJCLab a new laboratory

Since January 1, 2020, 5 laboratories, CSNSM, IMNC, IPN, LAL and LPT located on the Orsay campus of the Université Paris-Saclay have merged to become the Laboratory of Physics of the 2 infinities Irène Joliot Curie, also called IJCLab. Its governing bodies are CNRS (IN2P3 and INP), Université Paris-Saclay and Université de Paris.
