Numerical and Analytical Methods for Black Hole Dynamics in Kyoto
Thursday, April 5, 2012
In March 2012 Vitor and Helvi were participants in the
Recent Advances in Numerical and Analytical Methods for Black Hole Dynamics, in the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics. The meeting was held in the wonderful city of Kyoto, you can see the cherry tree planted by Yukawa in the group photo.
Projects approved
Friday, February 24, 2012We have just had two more projects approved. Ulrich Sperhake is PI of the computational time proposal “Black-holes in non-assymptotically flat spacetimes” in MareNostrum. Paolo Pani just saw his CERN project “Strong curvature corrections to General Relativity: consequences for astro- and particle physics” financed.
NR/HEP: roadmap for the future
Thursday, January 26, 2012
In the summer 2011, an exciting workshop took place in the beautiful island of Madeira, where a small number of top international experts in the fields of numerical relativity (NR) and various aspects of high energy physics (HEP), exchanged viewpoints and expertise in order to create synergies between these two communities. As an outcome of the fruitful round tables and discussions, a white paper was written, available here
IRSES European project
Monday, November 28, 2011The European Commission Research Executive Agency has approved an International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES) Marie Curie action on “Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics” (NRHEP), within the FP7 People Programme.
This action will promote research in gravitational physics, in particular numerical relativity with applications to high energy physics scenarios. More about this research programme can be learned in the “Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics” workshop webpage, organised in Madeira, in the summer of 2011.
Research institutions in five countries are involved in this partnership which is coordinated by Emanuele Berti (Mississippi/USA node), Vitor Cardoso (Lisbon/Portugal node), Luis Carlos Crispino (Pará/Brazil node), Leonardo Gualtieri (Rome/Italy node), Carlos Herdeiro (Aveiro/Portugal node; action coordinator) and Ulrich Sperhake (Barcelona/Spain node). About thirty researchers will be exchanged between the six nodes within the action, for a network lifetime of four years starting in 2012. The action also includes the organisation of events in each node.
