Dr Simon Peeters

Biography

In my research, I am trying to better understand the nature of matter, and therefore the universe. In doing this, I am involved in several challenging experiments.

I'm currently taking the lead for Sussex on the development of the SNO+ (neutrinos), LAGUNA/LBNO (neutrinos), and DEAP3600 (dark matter) experiment.
