Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
I’d like to thank James Irwin and Adrian Sheppard for their great initiative; The ANU Physics Data Portal (https://physics.anu.edu.au/portal/). Funded by the Australian National Data Service this project collects research data and simulators across the School into a single portal so we may raise the profile of our highly cited reference datasets and simulators. The site draws together work from Nuclear Physics, Applied Maths, Plasma Research Labs and Dept Quantum Science. I know there’s a stack more to tap into so please let James know and we’ll steadily grow the resource. One of the key aims it to attract collaborators to this resource, as well as track hit and downloads.
This week’s image above comes from A/Prof Greg Lane and shows the Gran Sasso mountains of central Italy. Those who know Greg’s love for outdoors might guess why he’d take this photo, but there’s a far deeper reason…. scroll down to find out.
Hope you have a warm weekend.
Best,
Tim |

This photo shows Hall C of the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS), located 1400m below the Gran Sasso mountains of central Italy. LNGS is the largest underground laboratory in the world and Hall C is just one of the 3 main halls that are each 100m long, 20m wide and 18m high. The picture shows the location where the northern half of SABRE (our new Dark Matter detector) is presently being built. Greg took the photo showing collaborators; Chiara Vignoli (Gran Sasso), Elisabetta Barberio (Melbourne) and Tiziano Baroncelli (Melbourne). The underground lab lies halfway along a ten kilometre road tunnel that goes through the mountain range to connect eastern Italy with western Italy. |
