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.
From January 2023, Dr. Ana Cueto Gómez has started working at CIAFF with a senior researcher grant "Ramón y Cajal".
From January 2023, Dr. Samuel A. Giuliani has started working at CIAFF as "Ramón y Cajal" fellow.
The main research fields of Samuel are the study of the properties of exotic nuclei and the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements during the rapid neutron capture process.
In our best understanding, the Universe is dominated by two elusive components: dark matter and dark energy. There is a strong effort to constrain these dark components using galaxies as their tracers.
Dr. Violeta Gonzalez-Perez is organising a symposium to explore this project during the European Astronomical Society Annual Meeting:
From May 2022, Dr. Weiguang Cui, has started working at CIAFF with a senior researcher grant "Atracción de Talento de la Comunidad de Madrid".
From September 2020, Dr. Violeta González Pérez, has started working at CIAFF with a senior researcher grant "Atracción de Talento de la Comunidad de Madrid".
Violeta has an extensive experience working on models of galaxies in a cosmological context. You can find more information in her personal website: https://viogp.github.io/.
Hyper-Kamiokande (HK or Hyper-K) project is the world- leading international scientific research project hosted by Japan aiming to elucidate the origin of matter and the Grand Unified Theory of elementaly particles. The project consists of the Hyper-K detector, which has an 8.4 times larger fiducial mass than its predecessor, Super-Kamiokande, equipped with newly developed high-sensitivity photosensors and a high-intensity neutrino beam produced by an upgraded J-PARC accelerator facility.
