Montpellier Universe and Particles Laboratory (LUPM)
The Montpellier Laboratory of the Universe and Particles (LUPM) is dedicated to the study of the universe as a whole and in its smallest dimensions. At LUPM, researchers and faculty members study fundamental building blocks—from the most basic particles, atoms, and molecules to the largest and oldest gravitational structures, such as stars and galaxies.
Organized into three research teams, the scope of research at LUPM is very broad and covers major areas of theoretical physics, as well as fundamental and observational astrophysics, such as the physics of the early universe, the study of elementary particle properties, the nature of dark matter, the sources of high-energy cosmic rays, the formation of the first molecules in the Universe, the structure and evolution of stars, and their interaction with the interstellar medium.
