SAPHIR is a Latin American institute structurally and permanently dedicated to experimental high-energy physics, with direct responsibility for the construction of detectors for the LHC. It is formed by a consortium of Chilean institutions:

• Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission (CCHEN),
• Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC),
• Andrés Bello University (UNAB),
• University of La Serena (ULS), and
• Federico Santa María Technical University (USM).

The SAPHIR research lines are:
1. Design and construction of particle detectors for research and applied uses
2. Data analysis involving machine learning algorithms and big data
3. Theoretical high-energy physics
4. IT and computing, including heterogeneous computing systems

SAPHIR is involved in major international experiments, including ATLAS, SND@LHC, CMS, NA64, and SHIP at CERN, CLAS at Jefferson Lab, and collaborations with JINR and JUNO in China.

CTEPP at Andrés Bello University (UNAB) is dedicated to advancing research in both experimental and theoretical particle physics. The center participates in major international collaborations, contributes to high-energy physics experiments at CERN, and promotes the development of advanced research infrastructure, detector technologies, and data analysis capabilities in Chile.

CTEPP collaborates in high-energy physics experiments, including ATLAS, SND@LHC, and NA64 at CERN. The center also maintains active collaborations with JINR and participates in the JUNO experiment in China.
 

CTEPP is closely related to UNAB’s physics training programs including the

• Bachelor’s program in Physics Engineering and the
• PhD program in Physical Sciences.

CCTVal is a world class Centre looking to encourage the discovery of new knowledge in Particle Physics and in engineering applied to High Tech with the purpose of impacting society in a positive way. This has allowed CCTVal to be pinpointed as a developmental hub of Science and Technology, identifying with the Valparaiso region, but also projecting itself abroad.

All of this backed up by more than 30 years of expertise in the development of the Centre´s own investigations: Theoretical Particle Physics, Experimental High Energy Physics, IT and computing, Power Electronics and System and Signal Electronics.

CCTVal es un Centro de categoría mundial que busca impulsar el descubrimiento de nuevo conocimiento en Física de Partículas y en Ingeniería aplicada a la Alta Tecnología, con el fin de impactar de manera positiva en la sociedad. Esto ha permitido que el CCTVal sea identificado como un polo de desarrollo de Ciencia y Tecnología que se identifica con la región de Valparaíso, pero que también se proyecta al extranjero.

Todo ello está avalado por los más de 30 años de experticia en el desarrollo de las áreas de investigación propias del Centro: Física Teórica de Partículas, Física Experimental de Alta Energía, Electrónica e Informática y Computación.
