A day in the life of one of our students building an #AtomInterferometer in our AION atom interferometry detector lab!



Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Science and Technology Facilities Council ISIS Neutron and Muon Source Imperial Physics ATLAS Experiment Jon Butterworth UCL CERN UCLHighEnergyPhysics 3⃣ "Charting New Frontiers in Dark Matter Detection with Atom Interferometry", supervised by Christopher McCabe KCL Experimental Particle & Astroparticle Physics and Mark Bason RAL Space 🥳 You'd join the AION atom interferometry detector collaboration as they develop an ultra-sensitive atom interferometer to search for #DarkMatter. 🔎


Last week we met up in Birmingham for our most recent consortium meeting! We had an interesting three days discussing experiment updates, and sharing ideas and future plans. Thanks to all who joined, especially our guest speakers and the organisers from the Uni of Birmingham team!


There's too much going on in our research teams to cover in our consortium meeting discussion sessions - so for the first time we've had a poster session for our students and postdocs to showcase their projects! Congratulations to poster prize winner Ollie from Uni of Birmingham!
