Overview

Physics of the Universe - Cosmology, Astrophysics, Particles and Astroparticles from University of Zaragoza is coordinated by the Centro de Astropartículas y Física de Altas Energías (CAPA) and involves the participation of the Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón (CEFCA) and the Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc (LSC).

Key facts

The 20th century was marked by decisive advances in particle physics, culminating in the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, a milestone that made it possible to complete the Standard Model of fundamental particles and their interactions. However, major challenges remain, such as achieving a deep understanding of this theory and exploring phenomena that go beyond its framework, including dark matter, dark energy, and neutrino oscillations. In parallel, Astroparticle Physics has undergone remarkable development, most notably in 2017 with the joint detection of gravitational waves and gamma rays originating from the same astrophysical event, which provided a decisive boost to multi-messenger astrophysics.

Progress in these disciplines has strengthened their deep interconnections and highlights the need to foster synergies among specialists, as well as to promote cross-disciplinary research profiles capable of addressing these challenges in an integrated manner. In this context, Aragón is home to leading researchers, scientific groups of excellence, and unique facilities in the fields of Cosmology, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Astroparticles, and Particle Physics, all of which enjoy recognized international prestige.
