Theoretical Physics Researchers at CPAN § CPAN community organized in 26 Big Groups, with 1 IP signing per group. Ratio Drs CPAN/PNFPA=362/496 § CPAN Theoretical Physicists at most of the groups: IFIC, IEM, IFAE, IFCA, IFF, IFT, IGFAE, UB, UCM, UGR, UH, UO , UPV, USAL, UZ § Not all Theoretical Physicists in (Red Nacional) Spanish-HEP are at CPAN. Other consoliders compete: Astroparticle. § Ratio Drs TH-CPAN/TH-PNFPA 133/202 (66%) § Ratio Drs TH-CPAN/All-CPAN 133/362 (37%)

CPAN Researchers Distrib. II (Perm+Ry. C) (from F. Aguila’s talk Oct 10)

Research Fields in Theory at CPAN and Impact § Theory community at CPAN develops relevant work in a broad range of fields: QCD pheno, Heavy Ions, Electroweak and Flavour Physics, Neutrino Physics, Physics Beyond the Standard Model, Quantum Field Theory, Supersymmetry, Cosmology, Gravity, String Theory, etc § The research achievements in Theory have a big international impact, reflected in many ISI publications and presentations in top-level workshops and conferences

Scientific Publications (CERN SCOAP 3 Study Group) Spain 9 th in ranking Spanish Theoretical Phys publication rates and impact are in good position ( from Fuster’s talk PNFPA Sep 2009) N(authors)<10 (mainly theory): Spain 3, 2% N(authors)>10 (mainly experiments): Spain 0, 9% N(authors)>10 with at least One Spanish author (mainly experiments): Spain 27%

HEP Theory

Actions in TH-CPAN community • Research Projects: besides the national PNFPA projects, CPAN Theorists have active participation in EU projects and networks, assuming in some cases (Flavianet, LHCPheno. Net) the European coordination. • Training: CPAN Theorists are heavily involved in training activities: important participation in Master Programs of the Spanish Universities, European Ph. D programms, specialized lectures at postgraduate level at Int. Confs. • National Thematic Networks: There is not a TH-Network, but many Theoretitians (pheno, astro, nuc) participate in other Networks with active discussions, but not many collaborations TH/EX • Schools, Meetings: Long tradition in Winter Meeting, TAE • Often activities at Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual

TH-CPAN in National Thematical Networks (Redes Temáticas) • CPAN is the natural framework for the creation of these Thematical Networks with common structure for experimental and theoretical researchers: It promotes interactions/collaborations TH/EX • TH-CPAN researchers participated in Red Nacional de Fis. de Part • TH-CPAN researchers participate at present in: Red Temática de Física del LHC (start Nov 2008, finishing now) 44/120 (37% THs) 1 st meet. Granada Oct 09 (fruitful, >100 part) 2 nd meet. Val Nov 10 (>200 part). It Promotes collabs TH/EX • Also: Red Española de Futuros Aceleradores, Red Temática de Física Nuclear, Red Temática de Astropartículas, Red Neutrinos Under consideration: Red Temática de Física de Flavour • Also active collaboration in Neutrino Physics

Actions for coordination in TH-CPAN • The TH area of CPAN is the less coordinated one, probably because it doesn’t need much coordination. • First action promoting synergy relation among theorists: Portal del GFT • Proposed in 1 st CPAN Meeting, Escorial Nov 09 • Created in Jan 2010 by: Tomas Ortín (Admin) • Web putting together the activity in Theory http: //remo. ft. uam. es/TPgroup/ under construction

Actions in the TH web Portal del GFT http: //remo. ft. uam. es/TPgroup/ under construction • So far: 67 theory researchers registered. No distinction CPAN /NON-CPAN • Several institutes already involved • It is very convenient for communication and anouncements within the TH community. TH Group Mailing. Blogs. Thematic web-pages. . …. .

Actions in the Portal del GFT http: //remo. ft. uam. es/TPgroup/ under construction Invitation: all theorists (CPAN and others) are wellcome to join this action

Main CPAN support to TH activity • In spite of the numerical importance of theorists at CPAN, an important part of the funding goes to technical support to experimental groups (they need it more) • Funding usualy distributed into the 26 CPAN-groups according to their participating quotas. • Funding is not according to areas. • Areas Distrib: Ex 25, 51%, Astro 19, 14%, Nuc 21, 22%, TH 22, 12%, Others 11, 95% • Total ammount allocated to TH (2008 -2009 -2010) : 1. 714. 519, 34 euros • Most of CPAN support to TH activity goes to: postdocs : 1. 630. 819, 34 euros (95%) conferences/schools: 83. 700 euros (5%)

CPAN TH-Postdocs • • • CPAN allocated contracts 2008+2009+2010 in all areas: TH: Total 24 ( 24 Postdocs) Ex: Total 21 ( 6 Postdocs, 15 Technicians) Astro: Total 23 (9 Postdocs, 14 Technicians) Nuc: Total 25 (11 Postdocs, 14 Technicians) Others (Acc, Comp. , Tech Trans, Scie Train : Total 12 (12 Technicians) Evaluation system: External referees, priorities stablished in the groups, Final selection by Executive Comm. (CE) Funding per postdoc 30. 000 euros/year (now 35. 000) TH-CPAN postdocs/total CPAN contracts 24/105 (23%) 14 Th Posdocs have already started: 3 of them have been interrupted due to promotion to Ramon y Cajal or permanent positions. Many starting now. • TH-CPAN postdocs from different nationalities: 7 Spain, 6 Italy, 2 France, 2 China, 1 Finland, 1 Germany, 1 Israel, 1 Japan, Lithuania, 1 Russia, 1 Korea (16 more Postdocs forthcoming 2011) •

Future Actions in CPAN-TH § Creation of a TH Division at CPAN should be the main goal. § For this, more coordination and putting synergies together in the TH community is needed. § Develop emerging groups (subjects and collabs) § Promote participation in Nat Thematic Networks § Promote collaborations/discussions TH/EX § Suggestions/Ideas are wellcome § More communication: the TH-web helps
