Celebrating a Decade of Collaboration and Discovery
Founded in 2011, CETUP* (the Center for Theoretical Underground Physics and Related Areas) marks its 10th year of advancing collaboration and discovery in underground science. After a six-year hiatus, the workshop returned in 2023 with renewed energy and focus—continuing its mission to connect theorists and experimentalists from around the world in an open, discussion-driven environment. Over the years, CETUP* has produced more than 170 publications and become a hallmark of scientific exchange, linking directly to major experiments at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), including DUNE and LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ). Each summer, participants gather in the Black Hills of South Dakota to engage deeply with groundbreaking research in physics, astronomy, geoscience, and related fields.
More information about celebrating a decade of CETUP* will be shared in early 2026.
