NEXUS
The nature of invisible dark matter (DM), which constitutes ~26% of the mass-energy balance of the Universe, remains a major puzzle in physics. Despite extensive searches, DM constituents remain undetected, though experiments have significantly constrained the allowed parameter space. The NEXUS project aims to advance this research by enhancing detector performance, refining instrumentation, and expanding theoretical insights through a sustainable expert network. Partnering with world-class laboratories in Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, and South Africa, NEXUS will tackle extraordinary experimental and theoretical challenges. This research relies on Underground Laboratories, where cosmic rays are suppressed by ~1000 meters of rock, minimizing the cosmogenic backgrounds.
