”la Caixa” Foundation is launching a new postdoctoral programme at Universities and Research Centres of Excellence of Spain, including the Instituto de Física Corpuscular. 33 scholarships for researchers of all nationalities to carry out 3-years research projects, including costs of travel, accommodation and family aid. Deadline: September, 26th.
The Instituto de Física Corpuscular is among the best global research centres for its recent contributions to Fundamental Physics, according to study “Biblioranking fundamental physics”. IFIC is the first Spanish centre in this ranking, and the third worldwide in High Energy Physics Phenomenology, just after CERN and Fermilab.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the biggest and more powerful particle accelerator in the world, starts a new era. The works of the so-called High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) have begun. These improvements of the machine and its experiments will increase the number of collisions from 2026, which means more chances to make new discoveries. IFIC participates in the upgrade of ATLAS and LHCb experiments.
Electrons and positrons collide again in the SuperKEKB accelerator, Japan. This new machine aims to break the record for luminosity, a measurement of the number of collisions in a particle accelerator, that owns its predecessor, KEKB. Both are specialized in producing B mesons to study the differences between matter and antimatter. IFIC participates in the Belle II experiment developing a new technology for silicon detectors near collisions.
IFIC will host again this summer a programme aimed at undergraduate students in Physics. From July 9th to 20th the students will join one of the experimental research groups of the institute and they will learn about the detectors and the analysis techniques used in our field. The programme is open to students of the Degree in Physics irrespective of their year.
A research team from IFIC and UPV participates in an international challenge to develop a breast cancer diagnosis assistance system using Artificial Intelligence. Using artificial neural networks and algorithms, the system reduces false positives in mammograms with reliability in the detection of cancer close to 90%, the highest of such systems and very useful for clinical practice.
La cosmóloga Katherine Freese abre la temporada de Coloquios Severo Ochoa del IFIC el viernes 28 de septiembre con una charla sobre la materia oscura y los avances en su detección.
El investigador del IFIC ocupa el número 2 de la organización en pleno proceso de definición de la próxima Estrategia Europea de Física de Partículas, la 'hoja de ruta' de la disciplina post-LHC...
200 físicos de la colaboración participan en la reunión, donde se discuten esperados resultados sobre las anomalías detectadas por LHCb que apuntarían a la presencia de nueva física.
24 estudiantes del grado en Física de toda España participan en la tercera edición de este curso de verano, que finaliza el viernes con la exposición de los trabajos de los alumnos.
