LIP’s Phenomenology group conducts research bridging theory and experiment in particle and astroparticle physics. Its research, while independent, is centred around areas in which LIP has active experimental activities and aims to identify areas in which LIP’s broader programme may evolve in the future. Its purpose is to strengthen the impact of the overall LIP programme through the provision of excellent directed phenomenological research. The members of the group have an excellent publication record and high international visibility.

The group was created in January 2018 following an extensive discussion process within LIP. Its resulted from the aggregation of two previously existing LIP groups: LHC Phenomenology and Heavy Ion Phenomenology. In this first phase, the group is focused on consolidating its research lines and identity. At the same time, its scientific output and appeal to students have been strengthened. This combination places the group on a positive path of continued development and relevance both within and outside LIP.
