  • Hydrodynamics

 

 

Particle-Physics Phenomenology

  • LHC physics
  • Supersymmetry
  • Dark matter
  • The Standard Model
  • Hadron spectroscopy
  • Neutrino physics

 

Nuclear Physics

  • Breaking of fundamental symmetries in nuclei
  • Nuclear physics problems in astrophysics
  • Quark-gluon plasma and high-density matter

 

Foundations (see Quantum Foundations & Information Group)

  • Foundations of quantum mechanics
