Highlight
Dark Energy Survey publicly releases first three years of data
January 10, 2018
This first major release of data from the Survey includes information on about 400 million astronomical objects, including distant galaxies billions of light years away as well as stars in our own galaxy.
Scientists spot explosive counterpart of LIGO/Virgo’s latest gravitational waves
October 16, 2017
Scientists using the Dark Energy Camera have captured images of the aftermath of a neutron star collision, the source of LIGO/Virgo’s most recent gravitational wave detection
CTA Releases its Updated Science Case
September 27, 2017
The latest iteration of the Cherenkov Telescope Array's (CTA's) science case, Science with the Cherenkov Telescope Array, was made available today
Prime candidate to explain cosmic ray sea runs short of energy
September 19, 2017
Scientists have been advocating for decades that cosmic rays are accelerated in the remnants of supernova explosions. However the MAGIC telescopes have now observed that one of the best candidates, the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, falls very short of the required energy.
Dark Energy Survey reveals most accurate measurement of dark matter structure in the universe
August 12, 2017
New result rivals precision of cosmic microwave background measurements, supports view that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the cosmos
T2K presents hint of CP violation by neutrinos
August 4, 2017
The international T2K Collaboration strengthened its previous hint that the symmetry between matter and antimatter may be violated for neutrino oscillation. A preliminary analysis of T2K’s latest data rejects the hypothesis that neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate with the same probability at 95% confidence (2σ) level
L'Institut de Física d'Altes Energies celebra el seu 25è aniversari
July 10, 2017
IFAE celebrates the 25th anniversary of its foundation. The celebration took place last Friday, July 7, with the participation of the Secretary of State for Research, Development and Innovation, Carmen Vela; the Secretary of Universities and Research of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Arcadi Navarro; the Vice-Rector for Innovation and Strategic Projects at the UAB, Francisco Javier Lafuente; and the president of the Board of Trustees of the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology, Andreu Mas-Colell
IFAE obtains the Severo Ochoa award renewal for 4 more years
The Institut de Física d'Altes Energias (IFAE) has renewed the award obtained in 2012 and will receive 1 million euros annually for four years.
Possible hints of New Physics found in a new joint analysis of data from LHCb and other experiments
April 20, 2017
Global analysis of observables related to rare B decays measured in different experiments such as LHCb, Belle and preliminary results from ATLAS and CMS shows a discrepancy with the Standard Model at five standard deviations.
