LAPThFête de la Science 2014
On the occasion of the festival of science, LAPP and LAPTh will open their doors on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 October 2014 from 10am to 18pm keeping up with this annual tradition. We will make you discover more about the experiments carried at LAPP as well as the various activities both experimentalists and theorists (of LAPTh) are involved in. Visitors will meet and interact with physicists, engineers and technicians through different stands and stalls that represent the many research topics carried in our laboratories: Study of the Higgs particle, the search for new particles at the LHC , anti-matter , cosmic rays as well as the role of electronics, computers and mechanics in neutrino experiments, gravitational waves and the search for dark matter. Dark Matter in the Front Line
Listen to the radio programme (Richard talks at 45 minutes into the programme) Read "The Underground Hunters for Dark Matter" by Richard Taillet in "Pour la Science" GraSPA 2014
The school aims at introducing Particle Physics and Astroparticle physics to 4th and advanced 3rd year physics students from anywhere in the world. The most recent research topics and results in these fields will be presented. It consists of 4 days of lectures on LHC Physics, Neutrinos, Heavy Flavours, Astroparticle Physics, Gravitational Waves. Computational tools for these fields will also be introduced during a hands-on session. The students will be immersed in an international research atmosphere, and will be able to spend time and discuss at length with scientists working in the field. Courses will be in English. No background knowledge on the topics covered beyond a popular science level is assumed. A strong basis in Quantum Mechanics is expected, however. Jobs : PhD positions Enigmass2014
The "Excellence Laboratory" ENIGMASS is offering up to three 3-year Ph.D. positions (doctoral fellowships) starting autumn 2014 in Annecy and Grenoble. The proposed Ph.D. subjects are available here. Applicants should have a Master-2 diploma (or equivalent) by the end of July 2014. Deadline for applying is April 21st 2014. Applicants should fill the application form available here. The selection will be done by the beginning of May 2014. Were are not guinea pigs
Richard Taillet was invited to participate in the issue of January 10, 2014, where friendly "cobayes" wonder if one can jump off a running train, as in the movies.

FESTIVAL of SCIENCE 2014
France Culture in partnership with Pour la Science magazine (French edition of Scientific American) invited Richard Taillet from the LAPTh Astrophysics and Cosmology Team and Professor at Université de Savoie to talk about Dark Matter Hunting in Underground Experiments. He reviewed the human challenges and the technological infrastructure that are put in place today in the search of the missing dark matter of the universe. Thanks to more and more precise instruments installed in old mines, physicists are searching for the elusive dark matter. With detector sensitivity increasing the noose is tightening around this hypothetical component of the Universe ....
