If dark matter is made of unknown massive particles that hardly interact with ordinary matter, they should concentrate in the centre of the Milky Way and there they could annihilate producing neutrinos. Scientists at IFIC have set limits to this possibility using data from the ANTARES underwater neutrino telescope. More
The Institute for Corpuscular Physics offers eight scholarships aimed at students of the Advanced Physics Master of the University of Valencia to carry out their Final Master Project at IFIC in the 2017-2018 term. The scholarships have a duration of four months and each provides 4,000 euros. The institute is open to applications from May 15th to June 2nd, 2017. More info
The CPT Theorem establishes that in quantum field theory, under very general hypotheses, CPT is an exact symmetry. Currently we know that C, P, T and CP are not conserved in nature, but CPT violation has never been observed. Researchers at IFIC have examined its possible rupture by studying entangled states of B mesons, and they find CPT asymmetries at more than two standard deviations. More
Paola Ferrario recibe 1,5 millones de euros del European Research Council (ERC) para obtener un nuevo escáner PET basado en xenón líquido. La tecnología del xenón como medio de detección se utiliza en NEXT, proyecto liderado por el IFIC que trata de descubrir si el neutrino es su propia antipartícula.
El proyecto TRITIUM utiliza tecnología desarrollada en experimentos de física de partículas para crear un dispositivo capaz de medir en tiempo real la abundancia de tritio en agua. El tritio es uno de los isótopos radiactivos que se producen con mayor abundancia en una central nuclear, por lo que sirve de indicativo del funcionamiento del reactor.
El Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC, CSIC-Universitat de València) es una de las instituciones que hacen posible la llegada a la capital del reconocido espectáculo científico, premio de la Sociedad Europea de Física. Se harán dos funciones en el Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe el martes, 19 de septiembre, una para institutos y otra abierta al público previa inscripción.
