CIAFF welcomes Miguel de Icaza as new postdoctoral researcher
From November 2024, Miguel de Icaza has started working at CIAFF as new postdoctoral researched in the Astrophysics and Cosmology group.
Fostering Physics
CIAFF-UAM (Centro de Investigación Avanzada en Física Fundamental) is an institution within the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid that fosters cutting-edge research and synergies in many areas of Physical Science
Alexander Knebe appointed as director of the Department of Theoretical Physics
CIAFF member Alexander Knebe has been appointed as the new director of the Department of Theoretical Physics at UAM, taking over from Ángeles Díaz Beltrán. The CIAFF warmly congratulates Alexander and extends best wishes for a productive and successful term ahead in his new role.
Outreach workshop on Astronomical Observations
The CIAFF Astrophysics Group is participating in an outreach event on astronomical observations organized by "21 Distritos".
CIAFF organizes the Three Hundred annual Collaboration Meeting
The300 project is a simulation of 324 large galaxy clusters modelled with different full-physics hydrodynamical re-simulations and semi-analytical models (SAMs). Its purpose is to provide a large catalogue of theoretically modelled galaxy clusters for cosmological and astrophysical applications.
Strong coupling probed beyond the TeV scale
The strength of the interactions in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), determined by the strong coupling, is predicted to decrease with energy leading to an asymptotic freedom. The ATLAS collaboration has measured how this parameter runs with energy in the TeV region with an unprecedented precision.
