Institut de recherche sur les lois fondamentales de l'Univers (Irfu)

Grille de Recherche de l'Ile de France

Présentation générale: Objectifs - contexte: Le projet de grille de calcul au service de la recherche d’Ile de France GRIF a pour objectif la mise en place d’une grille de calcul fédérant les grands centres de recherche de la région parisienne autour d’un outil commun dans le cadre de la grille européenne EGEE et de la grille mondiale LCG.

CARRIOCAS

Ariel

Télescope de l'Agence Spatiale Européenne (ESA) dédié à l'observation dans l'infrarouge des exoplanètes. ESA space telescope for extra solar planets infrared observation.

CeSOX

Physics case The overall picture of particle physics, the so-called Standard Model, has been recently probed by the discovery at CERN of the Higgs particle; it is consistent with the existence of three neutrinos. Oscillations between these neutrinos has been observed in many experiments and are already a compelling evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model.

DGS

The Herschel Dwarf Galaxy Survey

"The ISM in Low Metallicity Environments: Bridging the Gap Between Local Universe and Primordial Galaxies" The Herschel Dwarf Galaxy Survey is a Guaranteed Time Key Program led by Suzanne Madden.

Dust Excess

Evidence for large-scale excesses associated with low HI column densities in the sky Where dust and gas are uniformly mixed, atomic hydrogen can be traced through the detection of far-infrared or UV emission of dust. We considered, for the origin of discrepancies observed between various direct and indirect tracers of gas outside the Galactic plane, possible corrections to the zero levels of the Planck-HFI detectors.

Hadron Form Factors

Hadron electromagnetic form factors parametrize the internal structure of hadrons, the dynamical distribution of magnetization and charge created by the inner constituents. They are considered fundamental quantities as they are a privileged background for interplay between theory and experiment.

Helioseismic Data Portal

The calibrated GOLF (Global Oscillations at Low Frequencies) /SoHO space observations and several derived data products are available below. They are regularly updated (last update December 2017). Official site with mission information on the spaceborn SoHO solar observatory.

Kepler

Analyse de la dynamique stellaire (rotation) par l’asteroseismologie Stellar dymanics analysis using asteroseismology. Pour les détails sur la mission KEPLER, voir le site Kepler-NASA For details on the KEPLER mission, see the Kepler-NASA website

Les distributions de partons généralisées (GPD)

La nature de ces nouvelles fonctions Des progrès théoriques importants survenus dans les cinq dernières années permettent d'étendre considérablement la notion de distributions de partons dans un nucléon ou un méson.

Les Irfusiens

Taking into account the professions of scientific research, technological instrument development, project management and its value-creating activities, Irfu has created an active network of Irfu alumni based on common values such as solidarity and contributing to Irfu's influence. This network makes it possible in particular to set up and implement training actions and exchange actions between alumni and current students/CDs in order to help them in their professional integration.

TPC-GET

Nuclear modelling

Thèmes-programmes: Thématique et contexte du projet In parallel with the experimental activities of the MNM group at DAPNIA/SPhN some fundamental and applied modelling takes place to simulate innovative nuclear systems for nuclear waste transmutation, intensive neutron sources based on spallation and photonuclear reactions, radioactive nuclear beam production scenarios, dismantling of nuclear installations, etc.

SIRIUS

Spectroscopy and Identification of Rare Isotopes Using S3

The high-intensity stable beams of the superconducting linear accelerator of the SPIRAL2 facility at GANIL coupled with the Super Separator Spectrometer (S3) and a high-performance focal-plane spectrometer will open new horizons for the research in the domains of rare nuclei and low cross-section phenomena at the limit of nuclear stability.

Généralités Thématique et contexte du projet L’utilisation de cavités supraconductrices pour accélérer des faisceaux de particules apporte de nombreux avantages, notamment en terme de rendement, et de compacité des structures pour les cycles utiles élevés.

TALC

Thin Aperture Light Collector

Concept de télescope déployable pour l'observation dans l'infrarouge lointain. Concept of a deployable telescope for far-infrared observation.

The KATRIN experiment

Measurement of the active neutrino mass scale and search for light sterile neutrinos

The KATRIN experiment Neutrinos are the most abundant matter particles of the Universe, but also the lightest! In 2015 the Nobel prize was awarded for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass. Their tiny mass is a compelling evidence for physics beyond the standard model of elementary particle physics.

THESEUS

Transient high energy sky and early universe surveyor

VIRGO/SPM

Variability of solar IRradiance and Gravity Oscillations / Sun PhotoMeters

The scientific objective of the VIRGO experiment (Variability of solar IRradiance and Gravity Oscillations) on board SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) is to determine the characteristics of pressure and internal gravity oscillations by observing irradiance and radiance variations, to measure the solar total and spectral irradiance, and to quantify their variability over periods of days to the duration of the mission. With these data helioseismological methods can be used to probe the solar interior.
