Neutrinos GroupPingal Dasgupta joined the Neutrinos group at IFAE as a postdoctoral researcher
Pingal Dasgupta obtained a PhD in Physics from the Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Kolkata, under the Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai. His doctoral research focused on understanding the properties of direct photon production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. His current research interests center on neutrino interactions and hadron interactions for neutrino flux production in the context of neutrino oscillation studies at the T2K experiment. At IFAE, in addition to his involvement in the T2K collaboration, he will join the Hyper-Kamiokande collaboration and actively participate in the physics and analysis efforts for the upgraded ND280 detector.
Welcome Pingal!
Milestone
Cavern Excavation Completed for Hyper-Kamiokande
September 1, 2025
The excavation of the colossal underground cavern that will host the Hyper-Kamiokande detector in Japan has been successfully completed. This marks a major milestone for the international project, which aims to become the world’s most powerful neutrino observatory. IFAE participates in the project.
