Heavy Ion Collisions: one of the keys to understanding the early universe

Particle physics is the branch of physics that studies the fundamental building blocks of matter and the interactions between them. Through experiments conducted in particle accelerators, scientists have discovered that all matter is composed of subatomic particles, such as quarks, electrons, neutrinos, etc. In this context, particle physics […]

FLUKA software simulations in the modeling of calorimeters, gave Pascale Tillería, SAPHIR student, the award for Best Poster on the 1st day of the "XXIV Chilean Physics Symposium SOCHIFI 2024".

The NA64 experiment at CERN is a fixed-target experiment whose purpose is to search for a new vector boson (A′), called the dark photon, which could mediate interactions between visible matter and dark matter. This experiment was designed to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model, particularly dark matter […]

SAPHIR students travel to CERN: Epicenter of Particle Physics

Promoting the development of advanced human capital and supporting both undergraduate and postgraduate education has been one of our institute's main missions throughout its first five years of existence. Strengthening and forging new collaborative networks, and reinforcing those we have already established, are part of […]
