Cosmology, Particle Physics and Phenomenology - CP3

Most precise measurement of Z+b process The CMS collaboration just submitted for publication the study of the production of b jets in association with a Z/gamma* boson, study to which members of CP3 played a leading role. This is an important step towards understanding the background to a potential light Higgs boson decaying into pairs of b quarks. Read more...

The Physics Department at UCLouvain has been involved for a number of decades in high energy particle physics research, equally strongly on the experimental and instrumental fronts as on the theoretical one. In spite of being located in physically distinct places, all these activities are now brought together within a common organisational structure, the Centre for Cosmology, Particle Physics and Phenomenology (CP3). This structure reinforces the collaboration of these varied components and competences in the physics of the fundamental interactions and the elementary particles.
