Particle Physics PhD

Postgraduate research
Delivery: Full-time
Particle physics studies the most elementary building blocks of matter. By studying the basic forces of nature, we aim to understand how these fundamental particles interact and bind together to form more familiar objects (like the proton or the neutron), how they decay from one form to another and how they influenced the evolution of the very early Universe. The goal of the subject is to discover the law of nature in their most fundamental form, and to understand how the Universe we see around us emerges from these fundamental laws. The subject relies on experiments ranging from huge particle accelerators (such as the LHC), orbiting satellites (e.g. WMAP and Planck), terrestrial detectors, underground laboratories and simulations using powerful supercomputers, as well as on the creative ideas of individial scientists.
