ARTICLE (in French): Traquer la matière noire

Le Devoir – Pauline Gravel – February 22, 2020

NEWS-G collaborators Gilles Gerbier (Queen’s) and Ali Dastgheibi-Frad (LSM) were recently interviewed for an article in the Montreal newspaper Le Devoir. You can read the article in its entirety here.

Jusqu’à maintenant, divers détecteurs à travers le monde ont tenté de détecter sans succès des wimps. Cette fois, la collaboration NEWS-G concentrera sa traque sur des wimps de faible masse, soit des « light wimps » d’énergie inférieure à 3 GeV.

ARTICLE: A Flickering in the Darkness

SCIENTIA – September 27, 2018

Deep, deep underground, surrounded by kilometres of solid rock, a team of scientists led by Professor Gilles Gerbier of Queen’s University, Canada, watches for a miniscule flicker of energy. A flicker that will, they hope, betray the existence of the most elusive particle known to humankind – dark matter.
