Conference Service Mandl

abstract: This is the fourth school in a series of lectures and discussions held in 2005, 2006 and 2007 on the general theme of supersymmetry, supergravity, black holes and the attractor mechanism. All lectures are for beginners. Part of the afternoon sessions will be dedicated to training, solving of problems proposed in the lectures and collaboration. The number of participants is restricted to 40 people, on a first come first served basis.

abstract: The traditional purpose of the Conference is to highlight the present status and prospects of searching for new physics beyond the Standard Model in non-accelerator experiments. Complementarity of accelerator and non-accelerator searches is a traditional leit-motif of the NANP conference. Various extensions of the Standard Model including ideas of supersymmetry, grand unification, extra dimensions etc. are supposed to attract both theoretical and experimental talks and discussions.

abstract: A network of European Doctorate Schools has organized a common curriculum in Astroparticle Physics. On the basis of agreements among these schools the specialized courses concerning Astroparticle Physics are organized in a common International School on Astroparticle Physics (ISAPP), while bilateral or multilateral student exchanges concerning the research activities in this field are also possible, in view of their thesis preparation.

abstract: The school program will consist of lessons by leading specialists in both theoretical and experimental particle physics and astrophysics. Also it includes a little students reports. The Baikal Summer School is regularly held at a picturesque small village Bol'shie Koty on the Baikal lakeside.

abstract: The Conference will consist of plenary sessions, parallel sessions and poster sessions. In the plenary and parallel sessions there will be 30~45 invited talks. Selected oral contributions will be presented in parallel sessions. The rest of the contributions will be presented and discussed in poster sessions. Invited talks at plenary session will be organized through the IAC and invited talks and oral presentations at parallel sessions will be selected from the submitted abstracts.

abstract: 2009 Meeting of the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society.

abstract: The idea of this workshop is that of promoting a debate on recent developments in the study of the behavior of Green´s functions in the infrared region of Yang-Mills theories. The main purpose is that of providing an updated summary, on a quantitative basis, of the results already obtained using different approaches as well as of pointing out open aspects to be investigated.

abstract: We are pleased to announce the 2009 Summer Simons Workshop in Mathematics and Physics from July 27 to August 21. This will be the second Summer Workshop conducted by the new Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook. The Center's mission is to develop the interaction of geometry in the broadest sense with theoretical physics, and is rooted in a long tradition of engagement between Mathematics and Physics here at Stony Brook, and ultimately in the centuries-long history of these two fields. The Stony Brook tradition is exemplified by the joint ITP-Math seminars initiated by Jim Simons and Frank Yang in the 1970's; these stimulated interest worldwide in the mathematics of gauge theories.

This workshop, while the second run under the auspices of the Center, is also a continuation of six previous Simons Workshops; like them, it will focus on the intersection between physics and mathematics, particularly in the context of string theory. One of the principal themes of this workshop will be "Strings, Dark Matter, and the Geometry of Particle Phenomenology".

abstract: The aim of this Institute is to bring together theorists and phenomenologists interested in all different aspects of LHC physics (QCD, event simulations, electroweak physics, BSM theories) for an opportunity to review and discuss the first LHC data.

abstract: Over the last two decades, there has been growing interest in elucidating the physical content of quantum theory by attempting to formulate physically comprehensible principles from which the quantum formalism can be reconstructed. Over this period, many reconstructive attempts have been made by researchers using a variety of different conceptual and mathematical frameworks.

The goals of the workshop are two-fold. First, to enable researchers that have been involved in reconstruction to become aware of the diversity of reconstructive approaches that exist and to understand the key underlying physical ideas, with the hope that this will lead to more compelling reconstructions that provide deeper insight into the nature of quantum reality. Second, to involve key researchers in areas, such as quantum gravity, that have the potential to benefit from reconstructive work so that they become more clearly aware of the area, and can, reciprocally, suggest questions that can be usefully asked of reconstructions.

abstract: A new era in high-energy physics is beginning with the commissioning of the LHC, which will expand our understanding of the Standard Model: from QCD and flavor physics to electroweak symmetry breaking and beyond the Standard Model physics. At the same time, the TeV scale is being probed by direct and indirect searches for dark matter, motivating a close connection between particle astrophysics and LHC physics. The entire spectrum of phenomenology is required for disentangling signals from backgrounds and unknown systematics. In recent years, new tools for studying the frontiers of physics being explored in the LHC era have been developed, new signals and search strategies have been proposed, and the role of the LHC as a precision measurement machine has been established. Searching for New Physics at the LHC will stimulate the study of these ideas by bringing together scientists from across particle physics, including QCD, Monte Carlo methods, phenomenology and model building, while taking advantage of the proximity to CERN to bring access to the latest results from the LHC.

abstract: Nuclear astrophysics plays a key role for understanding energy production in stars, stellar evolution and the concurrent synthesis of the chemical elements and their isotopes. It is also a fundamental tool to explain the ashes of the early universe, to determine the age of the universe through the cosmo-chronometry, to predict the neutrino luminosity, e.g. for Sun and Supernovae.

The “bone structure” for the above aspects is based on nuclear reactions, whose rates need to be determined in laboratories. Although impressive progress has been made over the past decades, which was rewarded by Nobel prizes, several open questions are still unsolved, which challenge the basis of the present understanding.

abstract: The idea is to bring together a number of leading researchers in theoretical physics, focusing on particle physics and cosmology. The conference will start with comprehensive experimental overviews on current experiment at LHC, dark energy and gravitational waves, and will be followed by a number of theoretical talks. The topics include: string theory, string phenomenology, standard model, inflation, models of dark energy etc.

abstract: UniverseNet is supported by the European Community's Sixth Framework Programme (contract n. MRTN-CT-2006-035863).

The network brings together the major European theoretical physics groups whose research involve cosmology and its relationship with particle physics.

The UniverseNet Schools provide training for postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers. After the successful past schools, the 3rd UniverseNet school will be held in Hotel Campus, in Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. The program, from Monday to Friday, will consist on lectures and discussions. There will also be short talks on current research topics.

abstract: 7th Conference on Nuclear and Particle Physics -seven in its series- is to be helt 11-15 Nov. 2009 at Sharm El-Sheikh resort, Sinai, Egypt. With new frontiers in high energy and particle physics connected with the start of LHC, NUPPAC' 09 is the place to meet, discuss, present new ideas and achievements in the warm and pleasant atmosphere of Sharm El-Sheikh resort during November.

abstract: It will include both theoretical and experimental issues. Particular emphasis will be placed on the forthcoming experiments at LHC and the related theory. However, presentations of physics results from other accelerator facilities, such as the Tevatron, RHIC, SLAC, HERA, JLAB, and non-accelerator based experiments are strongly encouraged. Theory talks are expected to cover and go beyond the scope of the physics from these facilities.

abstract: The aim of the meeting is to review developments, both theoretical and experimental, related to the physics of heavy flavors. We will hear updates on many topics including CP violation, rare decays, spectroscopy, CKM elements and, perhaps most importantly, the potential for studies of heavy flavor decays to help unravel any new physics seen directly at the LHC.
