The ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics aims to:
i. Discover the particle nature of dark matter using state-of-the-art experiments based in Australia;
ii. Develop new technologies for the next generation of dark matter experiments and spin off wider applications;
iii. Create new theories of Nature that contain dark matter particles and describe their interactions.
The Centre’s vision is to:
transform our knowledge of the Universe;
inspire a new generation of scientists and engineers;
foster and develop emerging scientific leaders;
provide the legacy of a world-class underground physics facility that takes full advantage of Australia’s Southern Hemisphere location;
translate the new technologies to industry, defence and the public through a dedicated Innovation Laboratory;
and to do so in a cohesive national and international environment with a strong equity and diversity program and an emphasis on outreach and public education.
