Particle and Astrophysics Theory
Theoretical particle physics research explores phenomena beyond the Standard Model, including dark matter, black holes, neutrinos, axions, the Higgs particle, and flavor physics, as well as quantum information, quantum gravity, and the physics of the very early universe. Theoretical astrophysics addresses complementary questions in early-universe cosmology, galaxy formation and evolution, the intergalactic medium, and extreme astrophysical environments. Theorists work closely with experimental colleagues at SCIPP on LHC and future collider programs, meson factories, dark matter searches, and cosmological surveys.
