THEORETICAL HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS

Theoretical High Energy Physics

Because of its achievements, the Theoretical High Energy Physics Group at BUAP, could be considered as one of the research bodies with largest impact at BUAP. The group is devoted to study the fundamental laws that describe the most intimate structure of matter and the universe, as well as its tests at colliders and the cosmos.

These laws are based on the principles of quantum mechanics and relativity, two of the pillars of modern physics; the tools used in our work employ mathematical methods that describe the evolution of quantum systems at relativistic energies, by incorporating the symmetries of such systems.

Research Interest

  1. Higgs physics within the SM and beyond. This includes work on multi-Higgs models, its formulation and the search for signals of the complete Higgs spectrum at current (LHC) and future colliders (VLHC, ILC).
     
  2. Supersymmetric models. Our work in this area deals with the Higgs sector, of the minimal SUSY extension of the SM (MSSM) and with the possible dark matter candidates, such as the neutralino and the gravitino.
     
  3. Astroparticles. Our work here deals with the construction of extensions of the Standard Model that include a dark matter candidate, as well as new sources of CP violation, which could have some impact on cosmology.
     
  4. Astroparticles. Our work here deals with the construction of extensions of the Standard Model that include a dark matter candidate, as well as new sources of CP violation, which could have some impact on cosmolog

 

People



All of members of this group has been recognized with the highest honors of the National Research System (S.N.I. - Level 3), and have published highly cites papers, including several dozens of them ranked in the SLAC Hep-Inspire database within the top50 and top100 papers, there is also a couple of top250 papers and one top500 paper. Some of our papers on rare Higgs and top quark decays have motivated experimental searches at the accelerators Fermilab Tevatron and CERN-LHC, which cite our work. In addition, the research of Dr. JL Diaz Cruz on Vacuum Alignment and Higgs Physics, has motivated new research lines at several institutions in the world.

Gilberto Tavares Ph.D.

Dr. Tavares-Velasco graduated as a bachelor of science degree in engineering physics at Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, with a final project on numerical solutions to Navier-Stokes equations by the finite element method. He then went on to pursue a Ph. D at the Physics Department of Cinvestav IPN under the advice of  Dr. Miguel Angel Pérez Angón, and he graduated in 2001 with the  thesis entitled “New physics in rare process involving the Z gauge boson, the top quark and the photon”, out of which 7 research articles were published in peer-reviewed international journals. After a short stint as a postdoctoral fellow at Instituto de Física de la Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolas de Hidalgo, Dr. Tavares-Velasco incorporated in 2003 as a full-time professor at the Facultad de Ciencias Físico Matemáticas de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana. The bulk of the research work of Dr. Tavares-Velasco has been focused on the study of the phenomenology of the weak interaction in the standard model and extension theories, with special emphasis on the calculation of radiative corrections at the one-loop level.  As of 2018, Dr. Tavares-Velasco has advised the thesis projects of 12 bachelor students, 9 master of science students and 5 Ph. D students. His scientific production consists of 49 research articles published in peer-reviewed international journals such as Physical Review D (33), Physics Letter B (5), Journal of Physics G (5), International Journal of Modern Physics A (4), Europhysical Journal C (1) and Europhysics Letters (1). According to the INSPIRE preprint database, as of november 2018, Dr. Tavares-Velasco’s articles had received 469 citations,  excluding self-citations. In 2015, Dr. Tavares-Velasco was promoted to national researcher level III in Sistema Nacional de Investigadores of Conacyt (México).
