Particles & Fields
The particles and fields group aims to develop a thorough understanding of fundamental interactions of the smallest constituents of matter. We work on a variety of topics in particle physics phenomenology, strong interactions, neutrino physics, quantum field theory, lattice QCD, mathematical physics, M/superstring theory and supergravity, and their connections with astrophysics and cosmology.
