From the tiniest particles to the vastness of the cosmos, the Elementary Particles & Cosmology Track combines experimental breakthroughs and theoretical insights to understand how nature works at its most fundamental level.<\/p>\nDepartment of Theoretical Physics (CIAFF-UAM)<\/h3>\n
Ordinary matter is made of quarks and leptons, described by the Standard Model through the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces. Yet many puzzles remain: the role of gravity, the origin of dark matter, why there are three generations of particles, the matter\u2013antimatter asymmetry, and the nature of neutrinos.
CIAFF researchers tackle these questions through large-scale experiments:<\/p>\n\n

Understanding how particles acquire mass is a cornerstone of modern physics. Following the discovery of a 126 GeV boson at CERN, researchers study Higgs physics, neutrino masses and mixing, and the matter\u2013antimatter asymmetry. Experiments such as\u00a0<\/span>LHCb<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>CMS<\/strong>, and\u00a0<\/span>ATLAS<\/strong>\u00a0provide unprecedented precision on heavy quarks, CP violation, and Higgs properties.<\/span><\/p>\n
IFT teams seek a unified picture of quantum mechanics and Einstein\u2019s gravity. String theory, holography, and lattice field theory illuminate strongly coupled systems, black holes, and fundamental aspects of quantum fields, offering bridges between high-energy physics, condensed matter, and cosmology.<\/span><\/p>\n
Particle physics and cosmology are deeply connected. Researchers study dark matter, dark energy, and the early Universe through direct detection experiments (e.g., XENON), cosmic-ray and gamma-ray observatories (e.g., Fermi), precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background, and large galaxy surveys such as DES, Euclid, and BOSS.<\/span><\/p>\n
The frontiers of quantum many-body systems meet high-energy physics here. Work spans entanglement, conformal field theories, quantum simulations for particle physics, tensor networks, computational complexity, and quantum error correction, linking information theory with fundamental physics.<\/span><\/p>\nPEC Track<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
