The center for Theoretical Physics (CPHT) at Ecole Polytechnique gathers research scientists working in diverse domains of fundamental and applied Physics. The overall coherence is assured by the corpus of common, transposable, mathematical and numerical methods.
CPHT is a joint research unit of CNRS and Ecole Polytechnique, and has a partnership with the Collège de France. His director is Jean-René Chazottes, Senior Researcher at CNRS.
CPHT is on the campus of Ecole Polytechnique, buildings 5 and 6. The reception offices are located in building 6 , offices 06.1046 and 06.1045.

European project STRONG-2020

 

 

 

The European project STRONG-2020 has obtained a funding of about 10 Million Euro for the next five years. The QCD team of CPHT participates in this collaborative ambitious program which aims at resolving a list of open questions at the forefront of our present knowledge in this field at the frontier of nuclear and particle physics. This includes a full understanding of the tridimensional structure of the proton, the spectroscopy of hadrons and their exotic states and the properties of the hot and dense quark-gluon plasma. This program will help unify and enforce the theoretical and experimental studies of the strong interaction, a vivid subject that attracts an active community of about 2500 researchers in Europe.

Colloquium du CPHT le 27 mars 2019 à 10h30, Salle Louis Michel

 

Dario Benedetti
(LPT / Université Paris Sud)

From quantum gravity to conformal tensor models

Abstract:
I will present an overview of the path leading from non-perturbative approaches to quantum gravity to the recent development of field theories in the so-called "melonic limit".
Along such path one encounters topics such as asymptotic safety, dynamical triangulations, tensor models, AdS/CFT duality, and more. I will try to make sense of all that.

Urko Reinosa parmi les « Outstanding Referees » des journaux Physical Review en 2019

 

Urko Reinosa fait partie des 143 « Outstanding Referees » choisis par les éditeurs des journaux Physical Review en 2019. Ces outstanding referees sont sélectionnés parmi les 71000 referees en activité.

Voici le texte officiel :

Instituted in 2008, the Outstanding Referee program expresses appreciation for the essential work that anonymous peer reviewers do for our journals. Each year a small percentage of our 71,000 active referees are selected and honored with the Outstanding Referee designation. Selections are made based on the number, quality, and timeliness of referee reports as collected in a database over the last 30 years. A full listing and further details on the program are available here: http://journals.aps.org/OutstandingReferees.
