Particle Physics Facilities

• The Drexel particle physics group researches fundamental neutrino properties with the DUNE long baseline experiment hosted by Fermilab and the PROSPECT short baseline reactor experiment located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, as well as the planned nEXO neutrinoless double beta decay experiment.
• We are also active in the IceCube neutrino telescope located at the geographic South Pole.
• The Bubble Chamber Laboratory develops superheated-liquid detectors for rare-interaction searches, including the PICO dark matter experiment located at SNOLAB in Canada.
