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

IGFAE
Experiments

Understanding the strength and complexity of interactions in the nuclear medium.

GANIL -
ACTAR TPC

IGFAE
Experiments

Creating new technologies for
medical-imaging radioisotope production based on laser-plasma acceleration.

LaserPet

IGFAE
Experiments

Relativistic ions to investigate fundamental properties of the force that holds protons and neutrons in nuclei. The ideal test bench to learn about reactions responsible of energy and heavy elements generation in Universe.

FAIR R3B

IGFAE
Experiments

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?

LIGO

Interior das cavernas que albergarán os detectores de DUNE no Laboratorio Subterráneo de Sanford, en Dakota do Sur (EUA). Cada unha delas ten case 160 metros de lonxitude, 20 de anchura e 28 de altura: / Crédito: Matthew Kapust, Sanford Underground Research Facility.

How to find the evasive neutrinos? An experiment that travels more than 1,300 kilometres underground in the United States may hold the answer. The IGFAE is involved on this massive collaboration
