The MACRO experiment and its legacies: more than three decades of astroparticle and neutrino physics

27 Jun 2025, 08:00 → 28 Jun 2025, 19:30 Europe/Rome

LNGS and GSSI

 

It has been over 35 years since the MACRO experiment (Monopole, Astrophysics, and Cosmic Ray Observatory) began collecting data in Hall B of the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory. As one of the first large international Astroparticle physics collaborations, MACRO set the stage for an impressive array of scientific and technical achievements to follow and launched the careers of many of today’s scientific and technical leaders. This conference will review different topics of this remarkable scientific legacy in nowadays Astroparticle physics and related fields.
