1. Center for Underground Physics (CUP)
Yeongduk Kim, Director, CUP, IBS
Open Presentations on Achievements of CUP

2. Vision of CUP Current Paradigm : Vision : Standard Model
3 massive neutrinos
LCDM
Vision :
Challenge and Enhance current paradigm about the structure and the origin of the Universe.
through questions like
What is Dark Energy and Dark Matter ?
How small are neutrino masses and how can we understand neutrino mass ?
Are there different kind of neutrinos ?

3. Goal of CUP
AMORE
COSINE
NEOS LZ
EXO
GBAR
2000 -
KIMS, RENO, XMASS

4. Organization of CUP International Advisory Committee (IAC): Professors

10. IBS is building a new underground lab.
Will have an independent entrance (human vertical elevator) from mine activity.
The construction starts this year and completed early of 2020.
