The Canfranc Underground Laboratory in north of Spain has been in operation since 2006. The underground site has three experimental Halls and a number of facilities such as seven high purity germanium detectors for radioactivity screening, a clean room, a radon abatment system. The main research field at Canfranc is astroparticle physics. However, a feasibility study for an accelerator for...

The Borexino experiment is running at the Laboratori del Gran Sasso in Italy since 2007. Its technical distinctive feature is the unprecedented ultralow background of the inner scintillating core, which is the basis of the outstanding achievements accumulated by the experiment.
In this talk, after recalling the main features of the detector, the impressive solar data gathered so far by the...

The discovery of astrophysical neutrinos has lifted a new observational window to the Universe. A new generation of detectors aims to fully opening this window. The talk will describe the corresponding IceCube results which herald a new era in neutrino astronomy. It will also give an outlook to the future detectors on the multi-cubic kilometer scale: KM3NeT in the Mediterranean Sea, GVD in...
