Cosmology and Particle Physics – CP3-Origins

Cosmology and particle physics investigate the fundamental constituents of matter, the forces of nature and the origin of our Universe.
Our goal is to help discovering the fundamental laws ruling the universe. This task requires a profound knowledge of the relevant areas of research represented at our centre of excellence in particle physics phenomenology: Standard Model Physics and Beyond, Dark Matter & Cosmology, Lattice Field Theory & Supercomputers, Collider Physics.
