A photograph taken by IFIC researchers Kike Nácher and Marcos Martínez, selected for the FOTCIENCIA20 exhibition.

The photograph shows scintillating fibers producing light due to the passage of cosmic rays and has been selected to be part of the exhibition of the 20th edition of the National Scientific Photography Contest FOTCIENCIA.
ARTEMISA: Artificial Intelligence for R+D

Artemisa is the computing platform at IFIC dedicated to AI-based projects of research, development and innovation. Any group operating in a Spanish state-funded university or research center can apply for its use. The application windows, resources and any other detail can be found on the Artemis website by clicking on this announcement. Artemisa is funded by the 2014-2020 ERDF Operational Program of Comunitat Valenciana.
Theoretical Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology

This research line of IFIC covers several interdisciplinary aspects such as the basic properties of neutrinos and the future experiments in this field, the origin of neutrino mass and their mixing angles, neutrinos as messengers in astrophysics and cosmology, bariogenesis and leptogenesis, dark matter, ultra high-energy cosmic rays and others.
Accelerator-based Experimental High Energy Physics

This research line takes advantage of large particle accelerators to study the most elementary components of matter. At present, this line is focused on two large projects: the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN and the future linear colliders: ILC (International Linear Collider) and CLIC (Compact Linear Collider). IFIC has participated in the construction of several systems of the ATLAS detector and in the computing and data management related to the data supplied by this detector. IFIC also participates in other two experiments of the LHC: LHCb and MoEDAL, as well as in Belle II of the accelerator SuperKEKB.
DIRAC Artificial intelligence-based system for diagnosing pathologies by medical imaging

IFIC researchers develop a prototype for the deployment and validation of radiodiagnostic support systems based on Artificial Intelligence models, which will facilitate the interpretation of clinical findings and evidence in radiological images in hospitals.
Nuclear Physics

IFIC researchers in this line work in a broad range of studies in nuclear physics and its applications: gamma spectroscopy, extreme nuclear states, nuclear waste incineration, stellar nuclear reactions. Likewise, they are involved in the construction of the detectors for the large European infrastructure FAIR.
QCD and Strong Interactions

This line studies Quantum Chromodynamics, especially its perturbative aspects. Several approaches are used, such as effective field theories, chiral perturbation theory or phenomenological lagrangians, such as that of the resonance chiral theory. A variety of goals are pursued, for instance, the theoretical and phenomenological study of QCD in hadron colliders, the study of the hadronic phenomenology in the resonance region, such as in the hadron decays of the tau lepton or in the semileptonic decays of the D mesons and others.
