BetaDropNMR: Ultra-sensitive NMR in liquids

The nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a versatile and powerful tool, especially in chemistry and in biology. However, its limited sensitivity and small amount of suitable probe nuclei pose severe constraints on the systems that may be explored. This project aims at overcoming the above limitations by giving NMR an ultra-high sensitivity and by enlarging the NMR "toolbox" to dozens of nuclei across the periodic table. This will be achieved by applying the β-NMR method to the soft matter samples. The long-term aim is to establish a firm basis for β-NMR in soft matter studies in biology, chemistry and physics.The research will take place at the ISOLDE facility.

AxScale: Axions and relatives across different mass scales

AxScale revolves around the search for QCD axions and Axion-Like-Particles. Two instruments are used for this purpose: The NA62 experiment can be sensitive to a vast mass range of axions and ALPs produced in decays. The RADES project at CAST searches directly for QCD axions as a Dark Matter particle.

High Impact Cross Section Calculations for Ultimate precision
This project deals with precision QCD calculations that are relevant for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment, and for future colliders. The project is divided into two main parts. In the first part, a general procedure to merge calculations involving different jet multiplicities at next-to-leading order (NLO) level will be formulated. A second part of the project will push the frontier of next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) resummations to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic level (NNLL), thereby achieving a considerable reduction of uncertainty for important final state observables. Besides the groundbreaking impact on present LHC physics measurements, these results will also be essential to match the high accuracy of measurements at a future linear collider.

TORCH: A large-area detector for precision time-of-flight measurements 
The TORCH (Time Of internally Reflected CHerenkov light) detector provides a time-of-flight measurement from the imaging of photons emitted in a 1 cm thick quartz radiator, based on the Cherenkov principle. This novel detector system has the potential to revolutionize particle identification in the difficult intermediate momentum region, up to 20 GeV/c.

Exploring the Terauniverse with the LHC, Astrophysics and Cosmology 
Terauniverse will lead the understanding whatever new physics the LHC may reveal, incorporating insights from cosmology, high-energy astrophysics and speculative ideas such as string theory. This interdisciplinary approach will also facilitate the application of knowledge acquired from the LHC to fundamental cosmological and astrophysical problems, as well as illuminate future collider priorities, e.g., for LHC upgrades and/or a linear collider.

Supersymmetry, Quantum Gravity and Gauge Fields
Superfields aims at investigating some crucial issues in globally supersymmetric and Supergravity theories. The project will be carried out through the abilities and the skills of the PI and of the team members, with their complementary expertise on different but interrelated topics in the holographic approach to modern theories of quantum gravity. Supersymmetry and gauge principles will serve as basic tools for their research.

Theoretical predictions and analyses of LHC physics: advancing the precision frontier 
LHCtheory plans to push to new levels of precision the predictive power of theoretical analyses of the phenomena observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The crucial ingredient in the success of this ambitious programme is the ability to interpret the signals extracted by the experiments. Capitalizing on recent theoretical advances, this project outlines a challenging and ambitious programme to advance to new levels the precision, generality and scope of the analysis tools used by both experimentalists and theorists engaged in LHC physics.
