Flowing into the future. Particle Jets in Quantum Field Theory and Phenomenology: October 19 – 23, 2020
Organized by: Christine Aidala, Yang-Ting Chien, Abhay Deshpande, and George Sterman. At high energies in quantum chromodynamics, particle jets provide an experimentally accessible manifestation of a change in degrees of freedom with time. The relationship between asymptotically short and long times in scattering systems is a recurring theme in quantum field theory. With a new […]

Lighting new Lampposts for Dark Matter and Beyond the Standard Model: February 24 – April 8, 2020
Organized by: Ranny Budnik, Rouven Essig, and Maxim Pospelov. Continuing progress in collider physics and dark matter searches in the past few decades have put significant pressure on several favorable theoretical models for Dark Matter and other beyond the Standard Model physics. However, the mystery of dark matter, and its true identity in relation to […]
