The Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC), a Severo Ochoa Center of Excelence, offers 6 PhD positions in the frame of the FPI program 2016 funded by Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. The contracts have a duration of four years. Topics cover from Neutrino Astronomy to LHC Physics, including Cosmology, Theoretical Astroparticle Physics, Particle Physics Phenomenology and Nuclear Structure. Deadline: September 27, 2016. More
Preparations are underway to bring the LHC one step forward. The new frontier is to increase the luminosity, the number of collisions per second, by a factor of ten. The plan to achieve this goal is called "High Luminosity LHC" and is already approved and under preparation. The new version of the large accelerator at CERN will be operational in the mid-2020s, and IFIC is playing a key role in some of its components. More
Quarks and gluons are the building blocks of many composite particles such as protons and neutrons. The force that holds them together is called Quantum Chromodynamics, or QCD, and its detailed study remains a challenge even today, forty years after it was first formulated. At IFIC some researchers are trying to understand it using numerical simulations that capture all its key elements. More
The LHC is about to yield its first 2016 collisions, and the past campaigns have provided enticing results. A search for supersymmetry has spotted a mild excess of Z bosons with missing energy both in Run 1 and Run 2, and the 2016 data are expected to either confirm or erase it. A team at IFIC is involved in this search and is getting prepared to analyse the new data as soon as they are out. More
El ciclo de charlas organizado por la Fundación Valenciana de Estudios Avanzados (FVEA), que presenta los aspectos fundamentales de la mecánica cuántica, comienza el jueves 22 con 'El Mundo Cuántico', de Armando Pérez Cañellas, catedrático en el Departamento de Física Teórica e investigador del Instituto de Física Corpuscular.
Personal de la Oficina de Transferencia del CSIC y la OTRI de la Universitat de València expone los fundamentos de la transferencia tecnológica, la protección de resultados de investigación y la creación de empresas de base tecnológica en el seminario del Instituto de Física Corpuscular el viernes 23 de septiembre.
El Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC, CSIC-UV) organiza la ITk Week, un encuentro donde participan 250 expertos internacionales para definir el nuevo detector de trazas que operará en el experimento ATLAS cuando comience a funcionar el LHC de Alta Luminosidad (HL-LHC). El IFIC tiene una importante contribución a este proyecto, en el que participa un centenar de centros de investigación de todo el mundo.
