Past Workshops & Meetings
LGRT 419B
Given that neutrino mass is so far the only laboratory evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model, understanding its origin could provide a key to unlock the secrets of the new physics. In the LHC era and in anticipation of exciting developments of future colliders, it is timely to discuss how effectively the neutrino mass physics could be probed at the high energy frontier. The workshop will bring together theorists and experimentalists to develop a roadmap for neutrino physics at the high energy frontier. The complementarity with the low-energy experiments at the intensity frontier, as well as the implications for other outstanding puzzles such as the matter-antimatter asymmetry and dark matter, will also be touched upon.

LGRT 419B
The electroweak phase transition (EWPT) is a key event that took place
early in the evolution of the Universe. Knowledge of its precise details could help us
understand the origin of the baryon asymmetry, or may lead to a definite prediction of a
stochastic background of gravitational waves that may be within the reach of the future
space-based interferometer LISA. At the same time, exploring the nature and properties
of the EWPT is an increasingly important part of the Physics Programme of the LHC
and the future of the high-energy frontier, and a large effort has been devoted in recent
years to the exploration of the phenomenological consequences of the EWPT for LHC.
Translating the future experimental results into a precise description of the early
Universe during the electroweak epoch demands a robust computational framework for
scenarios beyond the Standard Model, and is not yet fully established. The aim of this
Workshop is to bring together experts in the field to discuss the latest theoretical
developments, share ideas, and bring the EWPT into the precision era.
LGRT 419B
This meeting will bring together theorists addressing various theoretical issues pertaining to the interpretation of searches for neutrinoless double beta-decay and electric dipole moments of hadronic and diamagnetic atoms.
LGRT 419B
The school is designed to provide theoretical background for EDM experimentalists. The focus will be on pedagogical lectures, informal discussions with ample time for Q&A, and simple exercises. The goal is to enable participants to obtain an up-to-date picture of the physics of EDMs, including implications for physics beyond the Standard Model and cosmology.
Lederle Graduate Research Tower (LGRT) 419B, UMass Amherst
The Amherst Center for Fundamental Interactions will be hosting the second “Northeast Gravity Meeting” . The goal of this workshop is to bring together a group of experts, both senior and junior, working on topics in classical and quantum gravity, cosmology and related subjects. Of special interest this year are developments in the AdS/CFT correspondence, including implications for QCD, the proposed computational complexity /Action duality, and pre-inflationary physics.
