The ND280 Upgrade TPC group is currently performing a testbeam with a full readout plane consisting of 8 Micromegas.

The Ministry of Science and Innovation of the Government of Spain, the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) of Japan and the University of Tokyo (UTokyo) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to promote the construction of the Hyper-Kamiokande neutrino telescope. IFAE is a member of the HK Spanish consortium.

Annalisa De Lorenzis has just joined the Neutrino Group at IFAE to carry out an Industrial PhD with Qilimanjaro as business partner.

Balint Radics has just joined the Neutrinos group as a María de Zambrano Postdoc researcher.

The first field cage of the time projections chambers that will be installed in the near detector of T2K have arrived at CERN.

The IFAE Neutrino Group in collaboration with research groups from Birmingham and Geneva published a feasibility study about a calorimeter for proton CT applications in “Physics in Medicine & Biology (PMB) “: “A novel range telescope concept for proton CT ”.

“A 4π time-of-flight detector for the ND280/T2K upgrade ” by Thorsten Lux and collaborators has been published in Journal of Instrumentation.

“Characterization of resistive Micromegas detectors for the upgrade of the T2K Near Detector Time Projection Chambers ” has been published in NIMA. C. Jesus-Valls and T. Lux are co-authors.

Thorsten Lux has been elected as one of the 4 international members of the Executive Committee of T2K.
