Standard Model Physics

Particle physics is the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces of nature.

The standard model of particle physics describes the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces represented in the picture below:

Experimental facts and theoretical expectations indicate that the standard model is an incomplete description of Nature. Our goal is to help discovering the fundamental laws ruling the universe. This task requires a profound knowledge of the standard model as well as a great deal of inventiveness. The following are the relevant areas of research represented at the centre together with the scientists in charge:

Beyond the Standard Model

Dark Matter & Cosmology

Lattice Field Theory & Supercomputers

Standard Model & Collider Physics

Geometry & Computer Science

CP3-Origins is designed to have a multidisciplinary focus. The disciplines of advanced mathematics, computer science and particle physics will be the research fields which will synergize at the centre.
