Elucidating the presence and make up of dark matter, which makes up 80% of our universe: research into the mysteries of “dark matter” will deepen our understanding of the universe’s vast complexities.
Dr. Tony Noble shares his experience studying particle astrophysics at SNOLAB as well as the recent award from the Canada First Excellence Research Fund.
Queen's researcher Gilles Gerbier, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Particle Astrophysics, is working on the design of a dark matter detector after helping found the Beijing-Paris-Rome-Saclay Collaboration in Europe.
One of the oldest universities in Canada, research at Queen's University has left an indelible mark on the Canadian, and international, landscape of scholarly progress.
An interest in mechanics led Queen's researcher Arthur McDonald, the 2015 co-winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, to study the universe on a fundamental level, through physics.
Together with the SNOLAB group, Queen’s astrophysicists like Stéphane Courteau, and their students, form one of the most active centres for research on dark matter in the world.
