CETUP* 2025
The Institute for Underground Science at SURF hosts the Center for Theoretical Underground Physics and Related Areas workshop, located in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota.
CETUP* Mission:
To promote organized research in physics, cosmology and astrophysics, geoscience, and other fields related to science done in underground laboratories worldwide via individual and collaborative research in a dynamic atmosphere of intense scientific interactions.
Why CETUP*:
With over 20 underground laboratories around the world hosting experiments in nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and geosciences, there is a growing global interest in underground science. The Center for Theoretical Underground Physics and Related Areas (CETUP*) responds to this need by bringing together scientists from various disciplines, both theoretical and experimental, at its annual workshop.
CETUP* creates an inclusive, stimulating environment that promotes creative thinking and open discussions. Researchers from different backgrounds, experience levels, and countries collaborate to address critical questions in fundamental research. This collaborative spirit helps to nurture the next generation of scientists while driving progress in multiple fields.
Since 2011, CETUP* has taken place in the breathtaking Black Hills of South Dakota, nestled in the historic towns of Lead and Deadwood, near the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF)—the deepest underground lab in the U.S. This stunning location, enriched by deep Native American cultural and historical roots, offers a truly unique and inspiring backdrop for our workshop.
NOTE: Up to two weeks of lodging and a modest per diem will be provided. There is no registration fee for CETUP* participants, however, registration is required.
