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

Title Call

TORCH

Description Call

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.

TERAUNIVERSE

Title Call

TERAUNIVERSE

Description Call

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.

Superfields

Title Call

Superfields

Description Call

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.

HOTLHC

Title Call

HOTLHC

Description Call

Hot and dense QCD in the LHC era
QCD, the theory of strong interactions, has been defined as our most perfect physical theory, in part because its compact and apparently simple Lagrangian hides a plethora of emerging phenomena. Hot LHC aims to fully exploit the new possibilities of the Large Hadron Collider to characterise unexplored domains of QCD.

Title Call

Cosmo@LHC

Description Call

Cosmology at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
The Cosmo@LHC project has two inter-twined aspects. One is on the electroweak theory, particle physics issues such as relation to the hierarchy problem, collider signatures and flavour problems. The second one is on the cosmology implications of new physics at the TeV scale.

CityMobil2

Cities demonstrating cybernetic mobility
CityMobil highlighted the importance of automating road vehicles, from partly automated car-share schemes through CyberCars and PRT, to BRT which can make urban mobility more sustainable. CityMobil2 aims to address the main barriers that have been identified to the deployment of automated road vehicles: the implementation framework, the legal framework and the unknown wider economic effect.
