What it’s all about…
While the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics describes collider data with remarkable precision, it leaves fundamental questions unanswered, such as the nature of dark matter, the origin of the SM flavour structure, neutrino masses, and the matter–antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. This Research Training Group (RTG) will address these challenges through a broad, integrated programme combining theory and experiment. By linking collider precision measurements, direct searches for new particles, and theoretical developments across different sectors of the SM and possible extensions, the RTG aims to find the first signposts towards the New SM.
Principal Investigators
Our graduate school brings together a diverse set of PIs from experimental or theoretical particle and astroparticle physics, the phenomenology of elementary particles and quantum field theory. Click below to discover the PIs that you could work with and the projects that they lead.
