Laboratory "Theory of Elementary Particles"
About us
Laboratory “Elementary Particle Theory”
The scope of current science research projects in the Laboratory embraces various major trends in modern theoretical and mathematical physics. It is centered around two principal broad range world-wide actively developing research areas:
(a) studies of the quantum structure and geometric nature of the fundamental forces between elementary particles at (ultra-)high energies – mathematical physics, strings and conformal field theories, gravity and cosmology;
(b) particle physics - studies of lepton-hadron interactions, supersymmetry phenomenology.
The research in the Laboratory is executed within the framework of a broad international collaboration with leading international academic centers from around the world.

Projects
Participation of members of the Laboratory in internationally funded projects:For more details see the “inofficial” site of the Laboratory: http://theo.inrne.bas.bg/elpart/index.html
Participation in nationally funded projects by the Bulgarian National Science Fund:
Grant DO 02-257/2008 - http://theo.inrne.bas.bg/elpart/DO-02-257_index.html
Grant DFNI T02/6 (14.12.2014) - http://theo.inrne.bas.bg/elpart/DFNI_T02-6_index.html
A HUGE SCANDAL of MASS CORRUPTION and FRAUD committed by the former administration of Bulgarian National Science Foundation in the evaluation and grant awarding process during the Call for Fundamental Science and Applied Research Projects in the Principal Priority Areas of National Science Strategy 2012
Principal areas of modern fundamental science were systematically ignored and replaced by pseudo-scientific "research";
Internationally recognized research teams, instrumental in promoting the scientific and intellectual image of Bulgaria, were disqualified without clear motives;
Several non-scientific entities (private corporations and foundations, "non-governmental" "think-tanks" and unions) lacking their own proper science research infrastructure and without any noticeable academic accomplishments were getting plentiful grants which do not serve recognizable scientific merits;
Private enterprises and personalities, well known for their previous mismanagement of science research funds, once again were awarded ample grant money.
