Theoretical Particle- and Astroparticle Physics
In KCETA we pursue active research in theoretical particle and astroparticle physics, covering a broad spectrum of topics including quantum field theory and precision calculations, Higgs physics, collider phenomenology, flavour physics, physics beyond the Standard Model, dark matter, neutrino physics and cosmology.
The research groups are located in the institutes:
- Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP)
- Institute for Theoretical Particle Physics (TTP)
- Theoretical Astroparticle Physics at the Institute for Astroparticle Physics (IAP)
