Theory Groups at IAP
The theory groups at IAP deal with theoretical predictions and the interpretation of experimental results.
Astroparticle physics is the union of elementary particle physics with cosmology and astrophysics. We search for new fundamental physics and try to understand our Universe by investigating the interplay of physics at the very smallest and very largest length scales.
The group in Theoretical Astroparticle Physics at Institute for Astroparticle Physics (IAP) considers various aspects of neutrino physics as well as the problem of Dark Matter in the Universe. We work mostly on the phenomenology of theoretical models and the interpretation of data.
Theoretical Astroparticle Physics at IAP
Particle physics investigates the fundamental building blocks of matter and their interactions. While the Standard Model explains all available collider based data, there is both cosmological and conceptual evidence for the existence of new particles and interactions not contained in the Standard Model. The identification and description of such New Physics is a central goal of particle physics research.
The group Theoretical Particle Physics at Institute for Astroparticle Physics (IAP) is engaged with various aspects of particle physics both in and beyond the Standard Model. In our research, we investigate models of New Physics and their phenomenology in the fields of collider physics, Higgs physics, flavour physics, and Dark Matter. In addition we perform precision calculations for predictions of the Standard Model which are necessary to unambiguoulsy identify even small deviations from the Standard Model.
