Theoretical physics

The team is active in the phenomenology of fundamental interactions.
Their research interests cover a broad spectrum of topics in particle physics and cosmology, ranging from the nature of the Big Bang and the mechanism of inflation to hadronic physics and numerical simulations of the strong interaction, as well as the analysis of the Standard Model and its extensions (supersymmetry, axions, unified theories , etc.), and the development of tools for interpreting experimental results.
