Today, ASPERA, the AStroParticle European Research Area, a network of European national funding agencies responsible for astroparticle physics, released a roadmap for the next decade. The report recommends priority instruments in seven sub-fields of astroparticle physics including direct dark matter searches with one-ton-scale detectors, double beta decay experiments to explore neutrino masses, a ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray telescope array, and the underground gravitational wave detector dubbed the Einstein Telescope.
The ASPERA ERANET is developing a Roadmap for the future in Europe of the 7 subfields of astroparticle physics . They aim to answer to the most exciting questions about the Universe and to probe the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, reveal the picture of the high-energy Universe, solve the secret origin of cosmic rays...
Today Europeans presented to the world their strategy for the future of astroparticle physics. What is dark matter? What is the origin of cosmic rays? What is the role of violent cosmic processes? Can we detect gravitational waves? With seven types of major large-scale projects physicists want to find the answers to some of the most exciting questions about the Universe.
