The High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP) section at ICTP is studying some of the most exciting areas in physics today, from string theory to physics at large energy colliders, from neutrino phenomenology to alternative cosmologies.
HECAP collaborates closely with the staff of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), the Department of Theoretical Physics of Trieste University, and with the physicists of the Trieste section of the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN).

The price of shifting the Hubble Constant and evidence for dark energy evolution
Abstract. The current tension in H_{0} measurements by Planck-2015 for $\Lambda$CDM and that by recent direct measurement by Riess et al. 2016, also results another tension in the value of r_{d}, the sound horizon at drag epoch, measured by BAO observations and Planck-2015. We show that, regardless of dark energy dynamics, to accommodate higher value of H_{0}, one needs a lower value of r_{d}, and so necessarily a modification of early universe cosmology. Later on, a model independent approach to constraint background evolution of the universe with low-redshift data, will be discussed.

The HECAP section has research and visitors' programmes mostly aimed at scientists from developing countries.
The main motivation to study string theory is because it promises to provide a framework to unify all matter and interactions, including gravity, in a consistent theory. Despite the intrinsic difficulty of dealing with a theory that manifests itself at scales as high as the Planck mass, for more than 25 years there has been continuous progress in order to connect string theory and low-energy physics. This refers to extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics and cosmology that could lead to some observable implications.
