Group “Fundamental Interactions”
The cosmology team includes researchers with expertise in Cosmology, General Relativity, Quantum Field Theory, and Particle Physics. They collaborate and share national and international grants with several groups of theorists, cosmologists, astronomers, astrophysicists, and particle physicists.
Over the past fifteen years, an avalanche of high-quality data has transformed cosmology into a field rich in results. It has become an ideal arena for testing and potentially falsifying predictions arising from several areas of fundamental physics. This abundance of information has recently enabled the discovery of unexpected phenomena such as the acceleration of the expansion of the universe and the detection of long-sought physical signals that had previously escaped observation, such as gravitational waves.
