High Energy Physics News & Events
100 years of Strong Gravity, 5 years of Gr@v
To celebrate the centenial of General Relativity and simulataneously celebrate five years of the Gravitation Group at the University of Aveiro (Gr@v), established in the Fall 2010, Gr@v will organize a two days event, on 25-26 November 2015. This event will also mark the closing of the "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics" Marie Curie IRSES action, an international partnership which was coordinated by our group that ran over the period 2012-2015. Finally, the event will also be integrated in the IDPASC doctoral programme.
IV NRHEP meeting in Rome
The IV global meeting of the Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics Marie Curie IRSES action, took place in "Sapienza University", Rome, Italy, from 7-10 July 2015.
Thank you Leonardo Gualtieri, Paolo Pani and Valeria Ferrari for the stimulating meeting and excellent coffee breaks!
Vacuum stability of models with extended Higgs sectors
Abstract: For models with extended Higgs sectors, minimizing the one-loop effective potential and calculating tunneling times between different minima can provide a competitive phenomenological constraint.
Raul Costa @ CERN this summer
Gr@v master student Raul Costa has been granted a place in the prestigious CERN summer student programme 2015 edition. Raul will be spending two months at CERN in a historical and exciting moment when the first data from the high energy runs of the LHC will start being produced. Watch out for the new particles Raul! And congratulations!

Addressing flavour problems with symmetries: Family & CP
Abstract: In this seminar I will start by generalising concepts used in the Standard Model (of Particle Physics). My first goal is to show how symmetries acting non-trivially on the generations (by relating e.g.
