Welcome to the Institute for Theoretical Particle Physics (TTP)

The focus of our research at the Institute for Theoretical Particle Physics is the study of physics of elementary particles. Physics of elementary particles is successfully described by the Standard Model of Particle Physics that was proposed as the leading theory of Nature more than 40 years ago. The Standard Model is an extremely successful theory which describes a vast majority of phenomena that are observed in the Universe. Yet, theoretical shortcomings of the Standard Model suggest that this theory is incomplete and that additional, so far unknown, particles and interactions should exist. The research of the Institute contributes towards discovering the physics beyond the Standard Model through refined theoretical descriptions of Standard Model processes and through a development of specific models of New Physics.

Researches at the Institute provide theoretical support for studying Higgs boson physics at the LHC, explore the flavour structure of the Standard Model and beyond by studying properties of B and D mesons and develop new methods for performing high-precision computations in Quantum Field Theory.

20.03.2020 TTP goes home office

In light of the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, members of the TTP started to work at home earlier this week. However, all institute members (including Ms. Schorn!) are still reachable via email. For communication among institute members, check out mattermost. The KIT provides useful information here.

Stay home and stay healthy.

The program included a wine tasting and a bouldering trip as a get-together, invited talks on topics like the PTOLEMY experiment, neutrino and “beauty” physics, detector instrumentation and meetings of both the PIs and the fellows. Further talks were given by doctoral fellows, this year, Florian Herren from TTP presented his work on “Higgs Boson Production at the LHC”. Further information on the event can be found here.
