@FlipPhysics workshop

por Susana Cebrian2021-11-28

The @FlipPhysics workshop seeks to bring together the community of physicist working in the areas of Nuclear, Particle Physics and its Applications, especially women, and also (under)-graduate, PhD students, and young researchers, who have the opportunity to be introduced to several scientific topics through (mostly) women who have been successful in the field.
It will take place in Valencia on March 21-25th at IFIC: https://indico.ific.uv.es/event/6372/overview
There is no fee for invited participants/PhD/master/bachelor’s degree students.
The deadline for abstract submission (talk or poster) is January 17th.
Registration is now open up to March 15th.

Charla de Bodo Schwabe sobre «fuzzy dark matter» 🗓

por gloria2021-11-02

Bodo Schwabe is a PostDoc Researcher at CAPA, focused on dark matter, axions and numerical simulations.

Abstract: On linear scales much larger than the typical extend of galaxies the standard model of cosmology with cold dark matter and a cosmological constant can reproduce observational data with high precision. But there are potential difficulties on galactic scales. In this 50 minutes master level lecture I will present the main concepts of fuzzy dark matter, a well motivated dark matter candidate that reproduces the successes of cold dark matter on large scales, while implying unique observable features like solitons and interference patterns within halos and filaments. During the lecture I will derive the equations of motion governing the evolution of fuzzy dark matter, concentrating on their physical implications. While conceptionally simply, solving these non-linear equations requires intensive numerical computations. Alongside the theoretical considerations I will therefore present numerical methods that have been used to analyse non-linear dynamics of fuzzy dark matter on (sub-)galactic scales

Hands on Dark Matter

por gloria2021-10-252021-10-25

¡Comienza la semana de la Materia Oscura!

Esta mañana estudiantes de bachillerato de los IES Clara Campoamor Rodríguez, La Azucarera, Miguel Servet, Andalán, Pedro de Luna e Itaca han participado en la actividad «Hands on Dark Matter» organizada por CAPA. Han asistido a charlas, conectado con el Laboratorio subterráneo de Canfranc y el Centro de estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón (CEFCA), han detectado radioactividad ambiental y observado trazas de rayos cósmicos en le laboratorio, comprobado la cantidad de materia oscura en una galaxia y el efecto de las lentes gravitacionales , y, finalmente, participado en un quiz, antes de la foto final. ¡Esperamos que hayan disfrutado, que hayan aprendido qué es la materia oscura y cómo la buscamos, y que nos visiten de nuevo!

Charla de Maurizio Giannotti sobre axiones

por gloria2021-10-072021-10-11

Maurizio Giannotti is a Physics Professor at Barry University, Fulbright visitor at CAPA. Research in astroparticle physics, axions and axion like particles.

Abstract: The research on axions has gained great attention in the last decade. We are finally reaching the experimental capabilities to detect axions in the most motivated parameter regions and the University of Zaragoza is playing a major role in this effort. In this talk, I will present an overview of the strong CP problem and of the axion solution. I will emphasize the phenomenological aspects and in particular try to justify the selection of physically motivated axion parameter regions. I will emphasize the impact of axions on stellar evolution and the experimental potential to detect them in the near future.

Jueves 14 de octubre, en el seminario de Física Nuclear, a las 12:00.

XLVIII International Meeting on Fundamental Physics 2021

por gloria2021-09-28

IMFP

The International Meeting on Fundamental Physics is the Spanish Symposium on high energy particle physics with longest tradition. Since its creation in 1973, it has been organized on an annual basis by each of the main Spanish groups in turn. Its scientific programs have included dedicated reviews with the latest results in the fields of particle and astroparticle physics and cosmology.
In the 2021 edition, organized by the Centro de Astropartículas y Física de Altas Energías (CAPA) of Universidad de Zaragoza, sessions are devoted to review the latest experimental results and their theoretical and phenomenological implications. The program also includes sessions on neutrino physics, dark matter searches, ultra-high energy gamma and cosmic ray physics, gravitational waves and cosmology. Dedicated sessions summarize current initiatives on experiments beyond colliders and the status of ongoing and planned future large facilities. A session is devoted to discuss the Spanish scientific policy and strategy in particle physics
