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.
The IFIC joins the celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, that aims to raise awareness about the work of women scientists and inspire girls and young women to pursue a scientific career. In our institute women are 25% of the staff, the same figures that other research institutions in the field of Physics. More.
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.
On October 31th, the Instituto de Física Corpuscular premiered the documentary 'Phantom of the Universe', a film on the search for dark matter which the Institute contributed to producing. The film was screened in planetariums in Valencia, Castellón and Granada to celebrate the international Dark Matter Day. The initiative, accompanied by outreach lectures by experts from IFIC, had great success of assistance.
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.
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.
El Instituto de Física Corpuscular, a través de su programa de Centro de Excelencia Severo Ochoa, contribuye a la octava edición del evento, organizado por la Facultat de Física de la UV.
Jenny List, que lidera uno de los grupos en DESY para el Colisionador Lineal Internacional, ofrece un Coloquio Severo Ochoa sobre este proyecto y otros futuros aceleradores electrón-positrón.
