Visitas IGFAE

Why is our world formed by matter and not anti-matter? How do fundamental particles really interact? Is the Standard Model the final theory?

LHCb

IGFAE
Experiments

Solving the mystery of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays, the most energetic particles observed in nature. What are the cosmic rays? Where do they come from? Where do they get their energy?

Auger

IGFAE
Experiments

Using an advanced underground detector in the Pyrenees to learn if the most elusive fundamental particles we know of, the neutrinos, are really their own antiparticle.

Next

Gravity_Waves_StillImage

Gravitational waves were predicted by Einstein more than 100 years ago and were observed for the first time by LIGO in 2015. But what are they? Why this discovery was recognized with the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017?
