Astroparticle Physics

Astroparticle physics is a field that studies the fundamental particles of the universe, such as cosmic rays and neutrinos, and their interactions. It bridges astrophysics and particle physics, examining how these particles originate in space and interact with matter. Researchers use high-energy experiments, often at particle colliders, to recreate conditions similar to those found in the universe’s earliest moments. By analyzing these interactions, scientists seek to understand cosmic phenomena, dark matter, and the fundamental forces of nature, unveiling the universe's secrets and the basic building blocks of everything around us.
