21.02.2019 - Schools and workshops
Recently, two TTP PhD students Kirill Kudashkin and Marco Bonetti attended the International School on "Modular forms, periods and scattering amplitudes" at the ETH Zürich. The School took place from 11.02.2019 to 15.02.2019. The goal of the school was to provide a common background to both physicists and mathematicians working in the field of scattering amplitudes and to introduce participants to new powerful tools for the evaluation and study of Feynman integrals.

23.04.2019 - TTP seminar
We are pleased to inform you that the famous TTP institute's seminar is back on Wednesdays at 11:30 in 10/1.

09.02.2019 - TTP seminar

Next TTP seminar will be given by Marvin Gerlach.He will give a short overview about non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and describe how a matching between QCD and NRQCD for a heavy four-quark vertex can be realized.Time and place of the event you can find in the details




03.12.2018 - New Collaborative Research Centre on Particle Physics

Funding for Collaborative Research Center TRR 257 “Particle physics phenomenology after the Higgs discovery”, proposed by theoretical particle physicists at KIT in together with researchers at Aachen, Siegen and Heidelberg, was approved by the German Research Foundation. The new Center will focus on exploring phenomenology of elementary particle physics and using high-precision data from LHC and Belle II to look for possible signs of physics beyond the Standard Model.
