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.
