THEORY

The Theoretical Division's projects belong to three research lines:
  • The Standard Model of Particle Physics.
  • Physics Beyond the Standard Model.
  • Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology.

Standard Model
The Standard Model of elementary particle physics describes all phenomena in the microcosm without significant deviations.
The pursued lines of research include Chiral Perturbation Theory, the expansion for a large number of colour degrees of freedom, QCD sum rules, non-relativistic QCD, models of QCD which can be solved analytically, Flavour Physics, and CP violation.
Beyond the Standard Model
It includes theories beyond the Standard Model and aiming to solve the classical Standard Model problems: hierarchy, strong-CP, baryons, Dark Matter, unification with gravity…
The pursued lines of research include mechanisms of Electroweak Breaking and Higgs physics, generation of baryon asymmetry and Dark Matter candidates, Supersymmetric Theories, extra-dimensional solutions to Standard Model problems and holographic theories.
Astroparticles and Cosmology
It studies the theory of particles and their interactions in astrophysical and cosmological settings.
The group is focused on: axion physics (cosmological, astrophysical and laboratory), neutrinos (atmospherical and solar), phase transitions in the early universe, dark matter and, of course, dark energy
