High energy physics involves the study of the fundamental building blocks of nature at the shortest distances. These are the fundamental particles that are described by quantum fields such as the Higgs field found at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Our group studies theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics both from theoretical and phenomenological perspectives.

C. Herdeiro gave an invited colloquium at Scuola Superiore Meridionale, in Naples, overlooking the powerful Vesuvius. The colloquium took place in the premises of Accademia Pontaniana, the oldest Academy in Europe

The VI Amazonian Symposium on Physics will take place in Belém, Brazil, from 18-22 November 2024, jointly organized and with a strong participation of our group and integrated in the NewFunFiCO network.
C. Herdeiro visited the U. Federal do Pará, Brazil, and presented a seminar on Oct 23rd about the recent paper "Black holes in scalar multipolar Universes". The beautiful blossomed tree is "Pau Brasil" that names the country, due to its ember-colour wood.
