Research & Teaching

The Universidad Antonio Nariño has been part of the ATLAS collaboration since 2007, contributing in different areas both in the operation of the detector as well as in analysing its data.

These efforts include the development and improvement of different trigger algorithms, active participation in jet performance studies, and searches for physics signatures from the standard model and beyond the standard model.

Research & Teaching

The Physics institute of the Universidad de Antioquia, counts with a long experience in research on particle physics done by the Phenomenology of fundamental interactions group (GFIF), also the insitute counts with a magister and a doctoral programme in the field. Additionally, since 2009 the same group has created several space for the dissemination of particle physics such as courses, a congress and talks and our vinculation with the Quarknet Masterclass.

Research & Teaching

Our institute is placed in the Colombian northeast at Bucaramanga city. With the pass of the years we have stablished links between Colombian and Venezuelan scientists and so with scientists from the rest of the world.

Now we have participation in several world collaborations including the LAGO project (Gamma Ray Bursts detection), and the PIERRE AUGER ARRAY DETECTOR (Astrophysics). Also we have started to study the interior of volcanoes in Colombia with the MuTe (Muon Telescope) project and start making insights in Radiation Protection for Humans.

Right now we’re working on a wide brand of subjects belonging to HEP theoretical and experimental, among them are:

  • Elementary Particles
  • Astroparticles
  • Cosmic Rays
  • Solar Physics
  • Detectors and Data Acquisition
  • Cosmology
  • Physics Beyond the Standard Model
  • General Relativity
  • Astronomy
  • Geophysics and Earth Sciences
  • Medical Physics
