The DELight Collaboration

The DELight experiment harnesses the combined expertise of Heidelberg University (UHD), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the University of Freiburg (UFR), and Imperial College London (ICL), bringing together complementary expertise on cryogenic superfluid helium, dark matter detection, microcalorimetry, background mitigation, electronics, computing as well as modern data analysis techniques. A joint work program will bring the experiment from design, to realization, to science results.

Diversity and equal opportunity are critical components of science, which is a highly collaborative endeavour. The DELight collaboration is committed to this principle and to the inclusion of all people and identities. All collaboration members are expected to foster an environment of respect and equitable treatment. As a part of DElight, all individuals deserve to feel welcome, respected, and nurtured.



The principle investigators are Prof. Dr. Christian Enss (UHD), Prof. Dr. Sebastian Kempf (KIT), Prof. Dr. Belina von Krosigk (UHD), PD Dr. Sebastian Lindemann (UFR), Prof. Dr. Marc Schumann (UFR), and Prof. Dr. Kathrin Valerius (KIT). Other senior scientists include Dr. Klaus Eitel (KIT), Prof. Dr. Torben Ferber (KIT), Prof. Dr. Felix Kahlhöfer (KIT), Prof. Dr. Markus Klute (KIT), and Dr. Benedikt Maier (ICL).
