Multi-Particle Reactions from the Standard Model: spectroscopy, precision tests and beyond

Multi-particle reactions play a pivotal role in a wide range of phenomena, from understanding and determining the spectrum of quantum chromodynamics to probing rare processes that serve as stringent tests of the Standard Model of particle physics. This school will train the future generation of nuclear/particle physicists on the latest concepts and tools being developed in the fields of lattice QCD, amplitude/phenomenological analysis, effective field theory, and few-/many-body methods.

 

This school is meant for graduate students and postdocs in nuclear/hadronic/particle physics that are actively in research. You must have taken at least one year graduate-level quantum field theory. Although the classes will all be on theory, we welcome experimentalists to apply. 

The topics that will be covered include:
  • Lattice QCD, 
  • scattering theory, 
  • Effective field theories (SMEFT, ChiPT, NN EFT...),
  • Ab-initio methods for light and medium nuclei,
  • Fundamental symmetries. 

 

Confirmed Lecturers: Daniel Winney [Bonn], Dave Wilson [Cambridge], Felipe Ortega Gama [UCB/LBNL], Fernando Romero-Lopez [U. Bern] , Glòria Montaña [JLab], Henry Monge Camacho [ORNL], Kaori Fuyuto [LANL], Maarten Golterman [SFSU], Takumi Doi [RIKEN iTHEMS] , Thomas Richardson [UCB/LBNL], Arkaitz Rodas Bilbao [ODU/JLab], Wouter Dekens [UW]

 

Requirements: one year of quantum field theory and one year of research in related fields.

The participants will have to present a poster on their research during the social event of the second week. 

Subsidized housing will be reserved on campus for up to 30 participants. To reserve a room, you will need to fill out the application form. 
 
We are able to support the local lodging costs for a subset of the participants.  We anticipate that the travel costs to Berkeley will be provided by your local department.  However, we would like to know if you are able to also support your local lodging costs, or if you do not have funds to support the travel.  We hope to be able to provide additional support, including for travel, for a small number of students.  Please indicate what support you have and need in the application form. Note, in the application form, you will be ask to provide a letter of support from your supervisor, which should also confirm what financial support you will have. 
 
 
Application will be open until March 14. Acceptance will be sent out by March 21. 
 
This school will be followed by a workshop of the same topic. This workshop will take place on July 28-Aug 1 at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. If you want to attend that workshop, go to its indico page and apply: https://conferences.lbl.gov/e/multi_work

This school is being co-sponsored by UC Berkeley, LBNL, FRIB Theory Alliance, LANL, ORNL, JST ASPIRE, EMMI, ExoHad, NTNP, REYES/N3AS
