Excited to be part of the R&D for this new technology and proud to be co-editor of this paper. Opaque scintillators are a whole new (counter-intuitive!) way of thinking about particle detection. The future is cloudy but that's the whole point...

It started ~10 years ago with a crazy “too good to be true” idea breaking with dominant “transparency” paradigm in fundamental particle detection so far. It turned out to be right, as proved in this Nature and LiquidO remains an amazing framework with possible discoveries ahead!

Anatael Cabrera et al. introduce an opaque scintillator detector concept for future neutrino experiments with increased capacity for particle identification and a natural affinity for doping. Jeff Hartnell @MPravikoff Thiago Bezerra LiquidO nature.com/articles/s4200…

We are delighted to announce that our new website is now available @ liquido.ijclab.in2p3.fr

SuperChooz is a future fundamental #neutrino #science #experiment to be located at the #Europe's powerful #reactor #neutrino site: the EDF #Chooz reactor plant. The project's exploration is currently led by CNRS 🌍 and EDF.

#Événement 🗓| Le 7 sept. l’IN2P3 et EDF ont signé l'accord exploratoire ✍️ pour tester la faisabilité d’un grand projet d’étude des #neutrinos installé sur le site de la #centrale EDF Chooz et doté d’une technologie de détection radicalement nouvelle : LiquidO.

EDF EDF Chooz LiquidO SuperChooz CNRS 🌍 IJCLab CNRS à Paris-Saclay CNRS Bretagne et Pays de la Loire CNRS Centre-Est Anatael Cabrera LiquidO promet de révolutionner l’observation des #neutrinos avec une précision jamais atteinte. A Chooz, il permettrait d’étudier simultanément dans un même détecteur les neutrinos du soleil et les antineutrinos des réacteurs nucléaires. #SUBATECH #LNCA

EDF EDF Chooz LiquidO SuperChooz CNRS 🌍 IJCLab CNRS à Paris-Saclay CNRS Bretagne et Pays de la Loire CNRS Centre-Est Anatael Cabrera CPPM IPHC Strasbourg @SuperChooz vise à installer 3 détecteurs sur le site EDF Chooz : un grand de 10.000 m3 situé à 1km des réacteurs Chooz B et installé dans la caverne de l’ancien réacteur nucléaire Chooz A, en cours de démantèlement, et 2 plus petits détecteurs de 10 m3 jouxtant Chooz B.

CNRS/IN2P3 interview article focuses on SuperChooz in light of the start of its “Pathfinder” exploration phase upon the signature of the dedicated agreement between CNRS and EDF national directions. in2p3.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/in…

Sunday afternoon session at #Moriond thread: Diana introduces LiquidO. Beautiful localisation of interactions in opaque scintillator: both predicted and experimentally tested with a 10l prototype

We have a postdoc position available Physics at Sussex on #Neutrinos, LiquidO R&D and #machinelearning. sussex.ac.uk/about/jobs/res… Please do retweet and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

Could LiquidO help measuring one day the critical and most challenging still unobserved 40K geoneutrinos contribution of the Earth, including a few mysteries around it? The answer below in our just released preprint!
