Particles physics, astrophysics, geosciences, environment and ecology (PAGE)
The universe: origin, composition, evolution / Earth and anthropization: climate, ecosystems, risks and resources.
This research department deals with pluridisciplinary research in the areas of particle physics, astrophysics, Earth and the universe, environment and ecology. It requires big infrastructures, long-term observations, and powerful computing tools (data, computing power). Coordination with a national strategy is therefore important to develop strong links with technology and instrumentation. PAGE regroups 14 laboratories, 244 researchers, 250 professors-researchers and 400 PhD students.
Strategic axis
The universe: origin, composition, evolution
Research fields: nuclear physics, particles physics, astroparticles, astrophysics, cosmology and planetologyResearch units include: IPAG, LAPP, LAPTh, LPSC, LSM, with strong link to the Enigmass and Focus Labex projects.
Societal issues:
- Reactor physics: which nuclear sectors for the future? Accelerator-driven reactors, thorium reactors
- Medical physics: neutron capture therapy, hadrontherapy, X radiotherapy monitoring
- to reproduce the first instants of the university in a laboratory environment
- to explore the distant universe
- to search for exoplanets
- interactions with IPAG (astrophysics) LPSC, LAPP
- interactions with theoretical scientistis (LAPTh) and with physicists and mathematicians of the PEM and MSTIC research departments
Earth and anthropization: climate, ecosystems, risks, resources
Research fields: earth sciences, climate sciences, ecology and environmentResearch units include: Isterre, LEGI, LGGE-LTHE (IGE), Edytem, LCME, Irstea EMGR & ETNA, LECA, CARRTEL, with strong links to the OSUG@2020 Labex project
Social challenges:
- understanding and adapting human societies to global challenges
- remediation measuresnatural and technological risks
- improve the synergies between theory, observation and instrumentation
- develop the spatial activity (instrumental research and signal processing)
- co-construct projects about (geo-, hydro-, eco-, socio-)systems
- achieve the LTHE-LGGE merger
- improve the visibility of research in the areas of ecology and environment
- identify synergies between research organizations and institutes (CNRS) for infrastructures allowing the observation of natural systems
