This research pole covers the fields of particle and nucleus Physics, Astrophysics, the Earth, the Environment and ecology. This work contributes to the development and exploitation of large instruments, long-term observation means and research infrastructures, in the framework of a national and international programs. It relies on important and innovative instrumental developments and numerical means (calculations, data), and addresses several major societal challenges.
Strategic axes
The universe: origin, composition, evolution
Research of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC): origin of masses, new particles, matter-antimatter asymmetry, properties of the plasma of quarks and gluons. Neutrino physics: measuring charge-parity symmetry violation, in connection with the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry.
Nature of dark matter and dark energy in the Universe, combining ground-based and space-based observations of astro-particles and massive structures such as galaxy clusters. Multi-messenger astrophysics: characterize the sources of gravitational waves, and more generally the sky at high energies (cosmic rays, gamma rays).
Stellar systems, planetary systems & planet Earth
Interstellar medium and star formation: dependence of star properties on the structure, dynamics, magnetic field, and chemistry of the interstellar medium.
Proto-planetary disks: understanding the formation of planets and the role of the magnetic field in the coupling of the disk with its star.
Extra-solar planets: detection, characterization (core, atmosphere) and dynamics to understand their diversity and origin.
Solar system: exobiology via missions to study the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and the return of Martian samples to Earth.
Planetary cores, in particular that of the Earth: simulations of the dynamics of the Earth's core, with the contribution of applied mathematics and satellite data assimilation algorithms.
Earth and anthropization: climate, ecosystems, risks, resources
Climate-water: regionalization of climate models to understand the effects of global change on hydrological regimes in mountain environments, on ice caps, and in intertropical zones.
Anthropocene: understanding the coupled themes of climate - human activities - environmental quality, including analytical studies, contaminant dynamics, and characterization of extreme events.
Biodiversity and ecosystems: evolution and spatial variations, respective contributions of climate, soil and pollutants.
Physics, Chemistry and dynamics of the Earth: at all time and space scales.
Geo-resources: identification, modalities of formation and variability, exploitation and recycling.
Natural risks and hazards: multidisciplinary approaches to natural hazards and risk for the purpose of anticipating future risks in the context of global change.
