Center for Astrophysics and Cosmology

Center for Astrophysics and Cosmology is the largest research group in Slovenia involved in astroparticle physics, high-energy and multi-messenger astrophysics.
In brief
Combining the information carried by different cosmic messengers: photons, charged cosmic particles, neutrinos and gravitational waves, is the key for achieving a more complete, unified picture of the Universe, its constituents, their interactions and high-energy processes. Our primary goal is to investigate phenomena related to extreme energies in nature and push forward the knowledge frontier.
Research activities of the CAC group are focused on the searches of extremely energetic astrophysical sources, transient astrophysical phenomena, dark matter and possible mechanisms responsible for the matter – anti-matter asymmetry in the Universe. As a rule these activities take place within international research collaborations.

Upcoming seminars:
- We cordially invite you to the Seminar on Thursday, February 2nd, 2023, at 2:00 pm. by Dr. Iztok Bončina: Virgo observatory - gravitational waves hunter
Upcoming events:
- Info Days 2023 - During 16-18 February 2023, we open our doors to high school students and the general public with presentations and visits to our research labs. Furthermore, all the events will be in hybrid mode, which means that the visitors will also have a chance to attend the events online. Find out more...
