The Elusives Enterprise: Asymmetries of the Invisible Universe (ELUSIVES)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

NEUTRINOS and DARK MATTER (DM) are the most abundant and also the most elusive building-blocks of nature because of their tenuous couplings to the ordinary matter we are made of. Each particle has a mirror image with identical mass and opposite charge: its antiparticle. What is the essential nature of particles and antiparticles? This is a most fundamental open question in science. The laws of phy ...
