Back to Data Analysis

The Fundamental Physics Science Group focuses on the analysis of fundamental physics that can be done with LST-1 data, such as dark matter, Lorentz Invariance, Rare event search, and cosmic-ray physics.

Current Coordinators: Michele Doro (Leader) [1], Moritz Hütten (Deputy)

Past Coordinators: NA
