News: Institute of Physics

Dear colleagues, we would like to invite you to the seminar of Division of Elementary Particle Physics of Institute of Physics, presented by Petr Baroň. For more info, please see invitation.

Domain wall networks arise in several new physics models and lead to many observable cosmological signatures: gravitational waves, primordial black holes among others. A proper calculation of these signals is an interesting but challenging problem. I will present recent progress on the topic and some phenomenological applications.

Visitors to the exhibition of works created during the inaugural January workshop of the BeInspired project for lower and upper secondary school students, which aims to bridge the worlds of science and art, will find themselves in an artistic world inspired by elementary particle physics. The opening of the exhibition took place in the SOLID building on Thursday 14 March and proves that bringing together scientists, physics teachers and students helps to better understand the field, as well as to uncover the often hidden visual beauty of physics.

On Friday, March 8, scientists from the Institute of Physics explained the secrets of cosmic rays and how to measure them at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina to nearly thirty high school students.
