Our Group

The Dark Matter and Neutrino Mass Group at Penn State, October 2019: Andrew, Tim, Carmen, Rachel, Luiz, Jake, Gavin, David, Dan

We are the Dark Matter and Neutrino Mass Group at Penn State University.  Although we have only recently moved to Penn State, our group brings a long record and expertise in the design and construction of noble liquid TPC detectors and their operation in the search for dark matter, and is currently part of two dark matter direct detection experiments, LUX and LZ.

We are also involved in Project 8, an experiment aimed at measuring the neutrino mass by making precise measurements of the electron energy in beta decays, and on the development of novel rare-event detectors.  Visit our Research page for more details on these experiments and our work.


Prospective Students and Postdocs

We are looking for new postdocs to join our group to work on LZ and Project 8!  If interested, please contact carmona@psu.edu!
