Welcome
The Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics was established by the University of Edinburgh to seek answers to fundamental questions about the universe. We do this by creating opportunities for researchers and students from around the world to come together to formulate new theoretical concepts, taking us beyond the limitations of current paradigms.

A new theory of the universe—Neil TUROK
Observations of the universe on very small and large scales have revealed a surprising economy in its basic laws and structure. In this light, we have attempted to find new, more minimal solutions to cosmology’s central puzzles. Instead of postulating a pre-hot big bang period, such as inflation, we ...

Higgs-Maxwell Workshop 2023
Higgs-Maxwell workshops are a series of annual one-day meetings to discuss the current topics in theoretical and experimental particle physics and the prospects for future discoveries. The meeting is organised by the Universities of Durham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Lancaster, and is held at the Royal Society of Edinburgh in Edinburgh ...

Interaction between fast tides and convection with application to giant planets and solar type stars—Caroline TERQUEM
Stars are often found in close binary systems, and gaseous giant planets in the solar system are surrounded by moons. Tides are raised in the bodies in these systems, and their dissipation plays a major role in shaping the orbits. The dissipation rate is very well constrained by observations. For ...

Higgs Lecture 2023: From Quarks to Nuclei: the Building Blocks of the Universe
Our understanding of the structure of matter is that protons, neutrons, and nuclei emerge dynamically from the interactions of more fundamental particles described in the Standard Model of particle physics. In this lecture, I will give a broad introduction to the field and an overview of the numerical approach to ...
