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, ...),
  • Ab-initio methods for light and medium nuclei. 

 

The participants will have to present a poster 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. 
 
Application: 
 
Application will be open until March 15. Acceptance will be sent out by April 15. 
 
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:
