LAPThJobs : PhD positions Enigmass 2015
The "Excellence Laboratory" ENIGMASS is offering up to 3 three-year PhD positions (doctoral fellowships) starting autumn 2015 in Annecy and Grenoble. The list of proposed PhD subjects is here. Applicants should have a Master-2 diploma (or equivalent) by the end of July 2015. The application deadline is February 16th 2015 (23:59 CET). Applicants should fill the application form available here. The results will be available by the beginning of May 2015. Anonio Pich Lectures : Naturalness and LHC Run 2
As part of the ENIGMASS lecture series, Antonio Pich (University of Valencia, Spain) delivered a series of lectures on 12/13 November (2014) entitled " Probing Naturalness and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking at LHC run-2. Three lectures of 1h30 each were given, each lecture was followed by a debate and exchange with the audience. The target audience were staff physicists, post-docs and PhD students. For more details about the events see here. Raqis 2014
Bringing together about 80 participants, the 6th edition of the international conference RAQIS (Recent Advances in Quantum Integrable Systems) was held from 1 to 5 September 2014 in Dijon (France). Co-organised by LAPTh and the University of Burgundy, it has become a major event for specialists in quantum integrable systems. Last meeting of the ANR programme 'DIADEMS', the conference was to hear about forty presentations covering the latest developments in the field from mathematical aspects to applications in string theory, statistical physics and condensed matter physics.

Neutrinos (and their antiparticles, antineutrinos) are copiously produced in numerous particle physics processes at different depths in the core of collapsing stars (Supernovae). They also come in three varieties (or flavours), as defined by the process by which they were created. higgstools2014
LAPTh is a member of HiggsTools, an Initial Training Network (ITN) supported by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission. HiggsTools consists of 10 teams from 37 European Universities and Research Institutes, one International Organisation (CERN), and 4 partners from the private sector. LAPTh is the coordinator of the French participation. The programme covers the important physics of the Higgs and the concomitant topic of the nature of the electroweak symmetry breaking and what may lie beyond it. More info here. More Articles... |
Pasquale SERPICO contributed to the September 2014 Edition of Scientific American (Pour La Science) that covered a few aspects of the fascinating neutrinos. His contribution explained how the signal from a supernova can be used to infer the pattern of masses of these elusive particles.
