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!
Gr@v Ph.D. student Flávio Coelho successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis with title "Radiadion from a D-dimensional collision of gravitational shock waves" on February 20th 2015. Congratulations Flávio!
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.
Abstract: I present the minimal QCD-like composite Higgs boson scenario based upon a phenomenologically consistent 3-flavor Dirac ultraviolet completion and confined SU(2) dynamics.
Abstract: We discuss the current status of theoretical and experimental constraints on the real Higgs singlet extension of the Standard Model. For the second neutral (non-standard) Higgs boson we consider the full mass range from 30 GeV to 1 TeV, which is accessable to past and present collider experiments.
C. Herdeiro was the guest interviewee of Porto Canal's "Mentes que Brilham". Watch and listen to the conversation with interviewer Cláudia Fonseca about black holes and some of the research work made at Gr@v in this area.
Our group coordinated the "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics" IRSES network (2012-2015). Here is a list of the global network meetings organized:
