High Energy Particle Physics and Astroparticle Physics Theory Group

Fundamental questions.
Physics that investigates them.

At HiPaC, we study the Standard Model and its extensions, investigating elementary particles and the signals that may reveal new physics.

What we do

We read the universe in the language of particles.

We work at the frontier between theory and data: from precision LHC measurements to the traces that neutrinos, axions, or gravitational waves may leave in the cosmos.
