The school is primarily intended for PhD students. Since the number of participants is limited, applications from PhD students will therefore be favoured. Masters students and young postdocs are nonetheless welcomed to apply.
Lecture topics include: Classical solutions in Field Theory and applications, Statistics and introduction to Machine Lerning,BSM Landscape after LHC I and II runs, Neutrino Phenomenology,Neutrinos in Cosmology, Effective theories for dark matter, Perspectives in particle detection,Special lecture on Black Holes
Several tutorial sessions will be organized, where students will further discuss the topics covered in the lectures within an informal environment. Moreover, a poster session will take place during the school, students are thus encouraged to bring and present their own posters.
Students attending both the School and the Workshop may have a priority in being accepted to give a talk at the latter.
Early registration deadline is April 9th, 2019 (Please note that PhD students applying for a plenary talk + poster must register by May 1st, 2019) https://congresos.adeituv.es/invisibles19/
The focus of the workshop will be on the physics of the “Invisibles”:
Invisible particles: neutrinos, axions, WIMPs;
Invisibles at colliders: Beyond Standard Model searches
Invisibles in astrophysics and cosmology: dark matter searches, black holes, gravitational waves and the origin of Cosmic Rays
Talks are by invitation only, except for PhD students who are encouraged to apply for a brief plenary talk plus a poster presentation.
The school and workshop are the annual events of the European projects H2020 ITN “Elusives” (www.elusives.eu) and H2020 RISE “InvisiblesPlus” (www.invisiblesplus.eu), focused on Neutrino and Dark Matter physics and their connections, with emphasis on the role of symmetry relating matter and antimatter. They continue the thematic series that started in 2012 around the former network FP7 ITN “Invisibles” (www.invisibles.eu).
LIP, University of Minho, IDPASC and the COST action g2net are organizing a school on Data Science in (Astro)Particle Physics and Cosmology, targeted at PhD and MSc students, as well as at researchers from different areas, interested in learning about the use of modern data analysis tools. The school will be held in Braga, Portugal, from 25 to 27 March 2019, and will be followed by the symposium Data Science: Bridging Fundamental Research and Industry(28-29 March 2019), which aims to make the bridge between the academic and industry worlds.
The school will have theory and practical lectures, with a strong hands-on component. The students will be invited for a data challenge where gravitational waves data will be used for a classification problem. The COST action CA17137 – g2net: a network for Gravitational Waves, Geophysics and Machine Learning – will financially support the participation of some students and young postdocs in this school.
The symposium aims to show the potential of data science in modern society and to stimulate synergies between fundamental research and industry. Representatives from the academy and industry will present the current challenges in data analysis in an informal environment with plenty of time for discussions and networking.
The aim of the School is to cover topics in both experimental and theoretical astroparticle physics. The program of the school will include three main lecture courses followed by tutorials, practical and discussion sessions, together with several separate lectures, special session for participants presentations and excursion to underground laboratories of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory. The School is addressed to advanced masters students, graduate students and postdocs working in astroparticle physics.
The key features of the school are:
* Three 6-lecture courses by leading experts (neutrino detection, machine learning, multimessenger astrophysics), supplemented by tutorials, practical work, more lectures and participants’ talks.
* Excursion to Baksan Neutrino Observatory underground labs (4800 mwe).
* Location in a national park close to Mt. Elbrus (5642), one of the “Seven Summits” of the World, with possibilities for skiing and hiking during long mid-day breaks.
* Low registration fee (325 EUR including full-board lodging, airport transfer, banquet and excursion) and fellowships covering the fee.
Invisibles’19 School: The Invisibles’19 School will take place from June 3rd to June 7th, 2019 at the Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc in Spain.
Invisibles’19 Workshop: The Invisibles’19 Workshop will take place in Valencia from June 10 to June 14 2019. The conference venue is the Botanical Garden of University of Valencia.
