Outreach workshop on Astronomical Observations
The CIAFF Astrophysics Group is participating in an outreach event on astronomical observations organized by "21 Distritos".
CIAFF welcomes Luka Lotina as new postdoctoral researcher
From October 2024, Luka Lotina has started working at CIAFF as new postdoctoral researcher in the Nuclear Physics group.
Luka obtained his PhD at the University of Zagreb in July 2024. His research is focused on nuclear deformations and how they affect various properties of the nucleus, such as the excitation energy spectra and transition probabilities.
Luis Robledo recognized in Stanford University's "World’s Top 2% Scientists" list
The CIAFF member Luis Miguel Robledo has been recognized in Stanford University's "World’s Top 2% Scientists" list, which highlights the most influential researchers across various scientific fields. He joins a prestigious group of 101 scholars from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.
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.
CIAFF welcomes Ana Cueto Gómez as new "Ramón y Cajal" Fellow
From January 2023, Dr. Ana Cueto Gómez has started working at CIAFF with a senior researcher grant "Ramón y Cajal".
CIAFF welcomes Samuel A. Giuliani as new "Ramón y Cajal" Fellow
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.
CIAFF organizes a session at the European Week of Astronomy
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:
CIAFF welcomes Weiguang Cui as a new "Atracción de Talento" Fellow
From May 2022, Dr. Weiguang Cui, has started working at CIAFF with a senior researcher grant "Atracción de Talento de la Comunidad de Madrid".
