Nonexistence of baryon number for black holes
BIM-OI and BIM-OII Orbifold Phenomenology at the LHC and Beyond
Abstract: Supersymmetric Grand Unification scenarios with non-universal gaugino masses have been widely investigated in the context of the SU(5) and SO(10) gauge groups. Here, we take a less conventional approach, and revisit a class of orbifold models with non-universal gauginos, developed by Brignole, Ibáñez and Muñoz.

Supersymmetric SU(5) Grand Unification Phenomenology at the LHC and Beyond
Abstract: I will discuss models of supersymmetric grand unification based on the gauge group SU(5). We consider models with non-universal gaugino masses and confront them with low energy constraints, including the Higgs boson mass and the Dark Matter relic density.
Physics Nobel Prize 2013
The Physics Nobel Prize 2013 was awarded to F. Englert and P. Higgs, "for the theoretical discovery of a mechanics that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles". A great day for particle physics! Read here an account by Gr@v researchers.
NR/HEP2 School proceedings published by IJMPA
The proceedings of the NR/HEP2 Spring School, integrated in the "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics" network, have now been published as a special issue by the International Journal of Modern Physics A, edited by V. Cardoso, L. Gualtieri, C. Herdeiro and U. Sperhake.

Extra dimensions, black holes and fireballs at the LHC
Abstract: The collision of two gravitationally interacting, ultra-relativistic, extended sources is being examined. This investigation classifies the transverse distributions that are collided according to whether one or two (a small and a large) apparent horizons may or may not be formed in a flat background in 4 dimensions.
