The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics recognises Francis Halzen’s pioneering role in high-energy neutrino astronomy. IFAE is connected to this achievement through MAGIC’s contribution to identifying a likely cosmic neutrino source.

The group successfully tested SiPM sensors under realistic irradiation conditions to assess their suitability for future space-based gamma-ray and cosmic-ray missions.
