Astro-particle physics

Astro-particle physics studies the fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe, combining principles from both astrophysics and particle physics. It investigates particles like neutrinos, cosmic rays, and dark matter, which originate from space and influence cosmic phenomena. By understanding these particles, scientists learn about the universe’s origins, its large-scale structure, and mysterious components like dark matter and dark energy. This field bridges the microscopic world of particles with the vast cosmos, enhancing our comprehension of how the universe works on both tiny and enormous scales.
