The lab catches neutrinos to get closer to the true nature of the universe.
AboutAbout the lab
Chasing neutrinos produced by accelerators.
The Experimental Particle Physics Lab studies elementary particles, the most fundamental building blocks of matter, especially neutrinos.
Founded in January 2021, it is a new lab that mainly uses accelerators and tracking detectors.
Neutrinos are hard to produce and hard to detect, and many of their properties remain unknown even today.
Through experiments at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, the lab works to unravel the mysteries of astroparticle physics.
Key terms
- Neutrino
- An elementary particle that carries no electric charge and hardly interacts with other matter. There are three types: electron, muon, and tau
- Emulsion tracking detector
- A detector that uses photographic emulsion to record the paths of particles passing through it. Also called a nuclear emulsion plate
- Collider
- An accelerator that collides particle beams head-on. CERN's LHC is the world's largest

ResearchResearch themes
The lab carries out experiments that capture accelerator-produced neutrinos with emulsion tracking detectors. The FASERν and NA65/DsTau experiments at CERN are the main ones.
*Illustrative imageSearching for New Physics with Neutrinos
The lab investigates in detail how the three types of neutrinos (electron, muon, and tau) behave at high energies, testing the Standard Model and looking for clues to new physics beyond it.
*Illustrative imageProduction Processes of Tau Neutrinos
Of the three generations of neutrinos, the tau neutrino is the least understood. The NA65/DsTau experiment studies it, clarifying its production process through observation of Ds mesons.
*Illustrative imageNeutrino Experiments at the LHC
Using CERN's LHC, the world's largest collider, the lab is carrying out the first-ever neutrino experiment at a collider (FASERν). It opens up the high-energy TeV region.
