Strategic Areas

Strategic Areas
The research work of the Institute is organized around three Strategic Areas (SA) that are the basis of scientific planning. In addition, the center has a transversal line of strategy on new international facilities in the field of physics, with the aim of analyzing and discussing IGFAE's opportunities in these projects.
The Standard Model (SM) is, so far, the best available explanation for understanding the most fundamental elements of matter, its properties and interactions. This has been corroborated by experiments over the last decades.
Knowledge of the universe is now entering a new era. Thanks to technological improvements in observational devices and the growing capacity for data analysis, a window is opening that could revolutionise our knowledge of the cosmos.
The study of the structure of atomic nuclei, where almost all the mass that composes matter is found, has improved the understanding of the interactions and reactions that take place inside them.
