Prominent Researcher of the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission joins SAPHIR
Francisco Molina, physicist, researcher, and Director of the Center for Research in Nuclear Physics and Neutron Spectroscopy at the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission, joins the Millennium Institute for Subatomic Particle Physics as an associate researcher. Molina is widely recognized in the scientific community for his significant contributions in the field of physics […]
Saphir researcher joins team leading and coordinating CERN's long-lived particle working group
Giovanna Cottin, a professor at Adolfo Ibáñez University and a junior researcher at the Millennium Saphir Institute, will lead a group—along with two other theoretical physicists—dedicated to bridging the gap between experiments at the Large Hadron Collider and long-lived particles, which are elementary particles that have been theorized but not yet discovered. […]
New publication by Saphir Millennium Institute academics provides clues on how to discover heavy neutrinos at the Large Hadron Collider
If the existence of heavy neutrinos is proven, it could expand the standard model of particle physics and explain why known neutrinos have mass (something the standard model cannot explain). Heavy neutrino oscillation could also play an essential role in the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. […]

Theoretical high energy physics
High-energy physics is a field of research focused on developing models to describe fundamental particles and their interactions. The model used in virtually all of particle physics is called, rather uncreatively, the Standard Model. The Standard Model of elementary particles is a theory of […]
