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.

UNILHC 2012: 2nd ITN School on Unification in the era of LHC

August 27 - September 6, 2012 The main topic of the school is the theoretical interpretation of results coming from LHC (Large Hadron Collider) as well as experimental data from neutrino physics, dark matter searches and other observations. The aim is to identify the physics Beyond the Standard Model of strong, weak and electromagnetic forces and ultimately to provide a fully unified description of the fundamental states of matter and their interactions. Basic topics of investigation are the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking, the origin of masses and their hierarchies and the quantization of the gravitational interaction. The methodology is based on three main ingredients: Symmetry, including supersymmetry and symmetries related to flavor, string unification and new space dimensions. The school focus will be the important role of new physics searches at the LHC as well as the impact of neutrino oscillation data and cosmological observations. It is hoped that the school will make a significant contribution to the training of young European researchers in this area of fundamental science. http://itn2012.astroparticles.es/ ...
