In the effort to detect #WIMPs, one of the candidates for #darkmatter, #DEAP3600 detector has been designed for use in extremely low levels of radioactivity, 2 km underground. This summer, Cheyanne Monk assisted in hardware improvements and developed code for analysis. #CASST

🎉 Here are a few slides from Matt Poser, who won 3rd place in the #CASST talk competition, showcasing a phenomenon known as a "flasher event." Congratulations, Matt! The future of physics is in good hands! 😉 #DEAP3600 #CASST2024 #AstroparticlePhysics

🌟Such a great time at #CASST competition at @LaurentianU! #DEAP3600 was represented by Ayesha Iqbal and Trang Bui (@SNOLABscience /LU), Cheyanne Monk (@CarletonScience), Rory Macdonald, Matt Poser and Aarchi Shah (Queen's). Huge thanks to organisers! @McDonaldInst
