Despite the current downtime for the CASPAR facility, science must continue and discoveries are waiting. With the ever increasing information coming from the James Web Space Telescope (JWST) CASPAR research priorities are well aligned to help understand the amazing new discoveries being unlocked. The next phase of CASPAR's research focus will delve into the problem of creating some of the first building blocks of our Universe. New information coming from the JWST has reignited the focus for a better understanding of the reactions surrounding the mass-5 and mass-8 gaps. Read the recent article from the Sanford Underground Research Facilities "Deep Thoughts" for more.
“The atoms that make up you and me were forged inside the heart of the stars. And we're studying how that happens. CASPAR is helping JWST tell the story of how we got from there to here.”
