Large-aperture Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST)

Physics; Particle physics

A proposed telescope, whose possible applications range from the study of dark matter to searching for asteroids that could collide with the Earth.

Muon to Electron COnversion Experiment (MECO)

Physics; Particle physics

A proposed experiment to look for the conversion of muons to electrons in the presence of nuclei. This would be a signal of lepton flavour violation.
