AHEP: Astroparticles and High Energy Physics Research Group
We are a research group performing research on theoretical, phenomenological and observational aspects of Astroparticle and High Energy Physics. We are part of the the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (IFIC, a mixed center of the University of Valencia and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
Research
Particle cosmology
Neutrino cosmology, including the analysis of the cosmological bounds on neutrino properties and the study of neutrino physics solutions to cosmological puzzles.
New physics at the LHC
Research models with extended gauge groups and/or extra dimensions, with and without supersymmetry.
Underpinning the origin of neutrino mass
Neutrino mass, its characteristic scale and impact on particle physics.
Neutrino properties and the nature of neutrinos
Analyse current and upcoming neutrino experiments probing their mass hierarchy, CP violation and the atmospheric octant.

Fellowships to carry out a doctorate from the INPhINIT programme
OPEN - Fellowships to carry out a doctorate from the INPhINIT programme, 2018 call, open until February 1 GROUP LEADER Prof. JOSÉ W. FURTADO VALLE valle@ific.uv.es https://www.astroparticles.es POSITION DESCRIPTION -Research Project / Research Group Description: The Higgs boson discovery at CERN and the recent Nobel prize for the discovery of neutrino oscillations mark the start of a new era in particle physics. Boosted by these achievements and by the expectation of new discoveries in the near future, we propose an interdisciplinary research program covering : 1. Neutrino properties: laboratory and astrophysics. Neutrino oscillation studies, with emphasis on CP violation and the mass hierarchy to be determined by upcoming oscillation experiments. To gain insight on the origin of neutrino mass, sub-leading effects will be studied. 2. Neutrino masses, origin and implications. Theoretical models of neutrino mass generation based on new symmetries, and their implications at the LHC and other experiments. We will consider high and low-scale seesaw-type schemes for Majorana and Dirac neutrinos as well as radiative models. 3. New physics at the Large Hadron Collider after the Higgs boson. Gauge and/or supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, as well as new ideas such as extra dimensions, will be confronted with ...
