Professor Paul Hoyer from Helsinki University is visiting CP³-Origins from January to May 2010. He is a leader in perturbative aspects of Quantum Chromodynamic and has held research positions at CERN, Oxford, Stony Brook and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in US. He has been assistant professor at NORDITA (the Nordic centre for advanced theoretical studies) and director of NORDITA two times for a total of about 10 years. He has made important contributions in high energy physics and in particular in the field of Quantum Chromo Dynamics/ hadronic physics. Hoyer has been the chair of the department of High Energy Physics at Helsinki, of the research institute for Theoretical Physics of Helsinki, of the Finnish Physical Society. He has been also part of the High Energy Physics Prize committee of the European Physical Society. Two adjunct professors have joined the centre, Isabella Masina and Roman Zwicky. They are experts in neutrino, cosmology and flavor physics, respectively, and more generally in beyond standard model physics. Stefano Di Chiara joined the centre as his first formal postdoc, he received his PhD from the University of Michigan under the supervision of two world leaders in models of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry breaking, Profs Elizabeth Simmons and Sekhar Chivukula. We opened two postdoctoral positions and received applications from over 41 countries. We hired two PhD students, Tuomas Hapola from Juväskylä in Finland and Eugenio Del Nobile from Pisa in Italy. Besides increasing the international dimension of the centre, their interests and research skills fit perfectly the centre’s main research activities. Three students signed up simultaneously to start their master studies at the centre, Jakob Jark Jørgensen, Matin Mojaza and Ulrik Ishøj Søndergaard. All three entered the newly established elite education at the University of Southern Denmark. We are very proud that they have chosen high energy physics as their primary field of research education, given that they represent la creme de la creme of the students at the Faculty of Science. Centre members have already produced over 30 research preprints (listed below). Several of the recent work of the centre’s members, published before the actual start of the centre, became top cited according to the SPIRES high energy database. This is the work dedicated to the understanding of the phase diagram of strongly coupled theories and its applications for models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and dark matter. Within the first four months we launched the CP³-Origins Lecture series as well as the weekly journal club. The invited lecturers are internationally known scientists from Europe, the US and Asia. The CP 3 -Lectures are available on our web page, allowing anyone to later watch and listen to the lecturers. With time they will constitute an important historical record. The lecturers are well known scientists coming from different places of the globe. The CP³- Lectures are available one our webpage insuring transparence, allowing to the possible centre members traveling the possibility to watch and listen to the lecturers, and serves as a courtesy to the entire scientific community. We have in mind the smaller research groups which want to remain updated with respect to the latest developments in particle physics. Finally it will, in time, be a precious historical record.

The formal inauguration of the centre occurred on the 24th of November and was followed by two international meetings, the Origins of Mass Mini Workshop on the 25th of November and the Winter School in Geometry and Theoretical physics on the 26th and 27th of November. International renowned scientists gave talks and attended the three events. The pictures and several of the talks can be watched on our website www.cp3-origins.dk under the Events subpage meetings (click on archived events). We have launched a large number of extremely successful and novel outreach activities meant to propagate the centre’s activities to students and teachers in high schools, to researchers in other fields and to the general public. CP³-Origins together with the University of Southern Denmark, CERN, Fermilab, the US Department of Energy, National Science Foundation, as well as several other worldwide organizations proudly presented the science revealed behind the Sony Pictures blockbuster Angels and Demons. We launched in February 2010 a novel initiative, the CP³-Genius Program, meant to allow the brightest young minds at the bachelor and high school level to join the research activities at our centre. The CP³-Genius Program concept is our original idea and is now being copied by several other centres in Denmark. The research of the centre members has been recognized already on several occasions. The CP³- Origins master student Ulrik Ishøj Søndergaard was awarded in December 2009 the Oticon Scholarship to work on his master thesis project Phases of Nature. The centre leader’s PhD Student Mads T. Frandsen, now postdoc at Oxford, won the 2010 Lundbeck Talent Prize for scientists under 30 years old for his thesis work on beyond standard model physics and dark matter. In 2009 he was awarded a scholarship from the Anglo-Danish Society and he is also winner of the Loerup Honorary Graduate Award. The centre leader was awarded in January 2010 the Elite Researcher Prize by the Danish Ministry of Science. The Elite Researcher Prize (EliteForsk-Pris in Danish) is given to outstanding researchers and is one of the most prestigious awards in Denmark. CP³-Black book 10
