Introduction to Fundamental Physics Research

Fundamental physics encompasses the study of the fundamental principles and forces that govern the universe at its most fundamental level. It seeks to understand the fundamental particles, their interactions, and the fundamental laws of nature that shape the cosmos.

 

Particle Physics and Standard Model:
  • Investigate the subatomic particles and their interactions as described by the Standard Model, a fundamental theory that unifies electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear forces.
Quantum Field Theory:
  • Explore the theoretical framework that combines quantum mechanics with special relativity to describe the behavior of fundamental particles and fields.
Gravitational Physics and General Relativity:
  • Delve into Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which describes the gravitational force as the curvature of spacetime, and its implications for understanding the cosmos on large scales.
Cosmic Microwave Background and Early Universe:
  • Study the remnants of the Big Bang, the cosmic microwave background radiation, to unravel the early history and composition of the universe, offering insights into its formation and evolution.
Astroparticle Physics and Dark Matter/Energy
  • Investigate the mysterious components of the universe, dark matter and dark energy, exploring their properties and effects on the cosmos to deepen our understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe.
