Morphological and multi-wavelength constraints on the coeval growth of galaxies and their super-massive black holes – MORPHOSTAR
So far the morphology of distant galaxies has mostly been explored as a secondary property of sources first selected as a function of other parameters like their stellar mass, their optical color or their monochromatic luminosity in the infrared, the radio or the X-rays. Since these selections suffe
TeV messenger for cosmology and fundamental physics – CosmoTeV
The standard model of particle physics is verified experimentally with a high precision. However it presents some limitations from a theoretical point of view: it does not provide a dark matter candidate, it does not explain why no CP violation is observed in strong interaction, it does not provide
Lensing cluster galaxies through model fitting. – AMALGAM
The detail of the mass content in galaxies and clusters remains the best place to characterise dark matter and refine our ?CDM cosmological model. Is it cold, self-interacting? The gravitational lensing effect, which does not depend on the nature or the dynamical state of cosmic structure, is the be
Chemistry and dynamics of pre- and proto-stellar cores – ChemoDyn
The Chemodyn project aims at studying the physical and chemical properties of a large sample of Class 0 protostars. The main objectives of the project are 1) to develop a state-of-the-art chemo-dynamical of the evolution of pre- and proto-stellar core and 2) to compare the predictions of this model
Space Active Optics and complex instrumentation – OASIX
The OASIX project will be focused on two main activities: - The development of an Off Axis wide field Zoom system (OAZ) (Mersenne type) made of two Variable Off Axis Parabolas (VOAP); - The feasibility study of an Active Focal Plane (AFP) made of a deformable detector and the demonstration of its
Longitudinal profile measurement of ultra-short electron bunches at a plasma accelerator – SP
State of the art accelerators such as free electron lasers and beyond state of the art accelerators such as plasma accelerators require a carefull monitoring of the bunch length so that they can deliver their best performances. We are developping a diagnostic capable of doing that without destroying
Bottom-up Approach for searches in the Top Sector at the Large Hadron Collider – BATS@LHC
The Standard Model of particle physics describes fundamental particles and their interactions and was established 50 years ago. Its predictions have been tested successfully against data with a great accuracy and only the Higgs boson is still missing. Nonetheless, the model has some theoretical weak
Simulations of the formation of galaxies during the reionization – EMMA
The Emma project aims at investigating the formation of galaxies and the buildup of the large-scale structures in the Universe during reionisation. It will participate to the theoretical effort that accompanies the growth of the observational knowledge driven by existing or forthcoming facilities su
