The Hera North Hall at DESY was recently visited by some members of the IAXO collaboration from Zaragoza (Spain) and CEA-Saclay (France) to test a Micromegas detectors that will be used in the BabyIAXO experiment.

This spring we met for our 21st #IAXO collaboration meeting at #DESY in Hamburg, Germany. We meet twice a year to discuss the progress of the different parts of #BabyIAXO. While in Hamburg, we also visited some famous landmarks and had our collaboration dinner on a restaurant ship.

How do scientists search for dark matter? Meet the IAXO experiment!

Throwback to the last CMS #Hackathon at #Desy (Hamburg), where scientists gathered to work on common analysis tools and visited the #IAXO exhibition! #BabyIAXO will be built at DESY and we like to share our progress to the people that visit the site.
