TH Institute on “Neutral Naturalness”
TH Institute on "Neutral Naturalness" The TH Institute on "Neutral Naturalness", focussing on theories which aim to address the hierarchy problem and feature color-neutral top partner fields was held at CERN/TH from 23 to 26 April 2015. The systematic study of "neutral naturalness": natural theories with SM-neutral states that are as yet untested by the

New website for TH division
New website for TH division TH's new website went live in February, after over a year of consultation, design and programming. It replaces the TH Unit's previous website, which was nine years old and in need of an overhaul. Aside from a new look, the site’s contents have been reorganised to facilitate navigation and supplemented

CERN 60 Public Computing Challenge: Completed
CERN 60 Public Computing Challenge: Completed As part of the celebrations for Organisation’s 60th anniversary, Citizen Cyberlab and CERN launched the CERN 60 Public Computing Challenge, which was completed on Saturday 20 December, with the aim of testing a new browser-based approach to volunteer computing. CERN physicists often use event generators to simulate particle collisions

Interview with Savas Dimopoulos
Interview with Savas Dimopoulos Professor Dimopoulos is searching for answers to some of the most profound mysteries of nature. In this interview we discuss the recent findings of the LHC and his expectations about future HEP experiments, the quest for "truth" that seems to inform our scientific endeavours, as well as the relation between science

ERC rewards CERN researchers
ERC rewards CERN researchers The ERC fosters scientific excellence in Europe through competitive funding. Its grants are awarded to projects headed by researchers – both beginning-of-career and established – via an open, peer-reviewed competition. In December 2014, Magdalena Kowalska and Claude Duhr were awarded grants to pursue research in ultra-sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in

TH group looks forward to 2015
TH group looks forward to 2015 In 2014, the CERN Theory Unit has continued to play a leading role as a reference center in all areas of theoretical particle physics. Its research covers a wide spectrum ranging from Standard Model physics directly related to the LHC, to formal aspects of quantum field and string theory.

Understanding the Early Universe TH Institute: 6-16 January 2015
Understanding the Early Universe TH Institute: 6-16 January 2015 Our understanding of the early Universe has greatly increased in the past few years due to the high-quality observational data on the cosmic microwave background and large scale structure. The unprecedented precision of the Planck results enabled to significantly restrict the range of allowed inflationary models.
