Studying from the ground state and internal structure of hadrons to the extreme conditions of neutron stars and the early universe, Nuclear and Particle Physics is at the crossroads of the deepest unresolved questions in science. At its heart lies a dual challenge: rigorously testing the fundamental symmetries of the Standard Model, while developing the theoretical tools to solve the strong interaction. Without that mastery, signals of new physics remain buried in noise we cannot yet interpret.
To tackle these challenges, the ICTP-SAIFR is hosting monthly one-day meetings for the São Paulo community at the intersections of Nuclear and Particle Physics. Held at Instituto Principia and streamed via Zoom, these meetings feature a light schedule to prioritize open discussion. Our goal is to bring researchers and students together around these contemporary questions.

The activity will be transmitted online by Zoom.

Research Group Meetings in Nuclear and Particle Physics

Additional Information

How to reach the Principia Institute: The meeting will be held in the first-floor auditorium of the Science Center at Principia Institute located at Rua Pamplona, 145 near the Trianon-Masp metro station.

Badge: You will receive an identification badge upon registration, which must be used during the entire event. Without the badge, it may not be possible to enter the venue.

Security issues: Although São Paulo is a relatively safe city, be careful when using cellphones on the street, avoid isolated areas at night, and be aware when crossing the street that cars may not stop for pedestrians. Also, please do not leave valuable items like laptops unattended even for short breaks.
