The XII International Conference on Nuclear Structure Properties (NSP2019) will be held in Bitlis, Turkey. The aim of this conference is to provide an opportunity for researchers from all over the world to present their research results and activities in Nuclear Physics and related subjects. The conference provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish research relations and to find academic partners for future collaborations.
The aim of the Heavy Ion Accelerator Symposia on Fundamental and Applied Science (HIAS) is to provide a forum to bring together researchers to discuss the uses and development of Heavy Ion Accelerators. It is intended that participants include, but are not limited to, instrumentation and accelerator experts, national and international researchers, students and potential user communities.
HIAS 2019 will be organised along the theme of “Applications of Heavy Ions”.
The Symposium program will include both invited talks and contributed presentations in line with the following themes:
- Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Data
- Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Applications
- Nuclear Astrophysics
- Nuclear Reactions
- New Instrumentation for Nuclear Science and Applications
The biennial TAUP series covers recent experimental and theoretical developments in astroparticle physics by invited plenary review talks and parallel workshop sessions of invited and contributed presentations. The conference is hosted by ICRR, The University of Tokyo, and supported by Kavli IPMU, The University of Tokyo and University of Toyama.
The conference is devoted to the applications of quantum field theory to particle physics phenomenology. Subjects will include precision calculations for colliders; progress in higher-loop and higher-multiplicity calculations in the Standard Model; cross sections for new physics; interpretations of experimental data; new techniques for calculations; advances in computer-algebra methods; and new theoretical developments.
This is the 8th conference in the IBIC series, the follow-on to the very successful regional BIW and DIPAC workshop series. IBIC brings together the world community of experts in instrumentation for particle accelerators, to explore the physics and engineering challenges of beam diagnostics and measurement techniques for charged particle beams. The conference program includes tutorials on selected topics, invited and selected talks, as well as poster sessions.
Conference on geometric aspects of string theory – formerly known as the series “Physics and Geometry of F-theory” – this new instalment will include a wider range of recent developments in geometric aspects of string theory.
Twistor theory was originally proposed by Roger Penrose as a geometric framework for physics that aims to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics. In this approach, spacetime is secondary with events being derived objects that correspond to compact holomorphic curves in a complex three–fold, the twistor space. The mathematics of twistor theory goes back to the 19th century Klein correspondence in projective geometry, but one of the unexpected spinoffs from twistor theory is its impact on modern pure mathematics, from differential geometry and representation theory to gauge theories and integrable systems.
Loop quantum gravity is a background-independent approach to the quantization of general relativity. It provides a compelling picture of quantum spacetime in terms of a collection of `atoms’ with discrete spectra, and the possibility of resolving the singularities of general relativity. Applied to cosmology and black hole physics, it has led to new ideas for the origin of the universe (a `Big Bounce’ replacing the Big Bang) and the final state of Hawking evaporation.
The communities working in these two theories share both technical and a conceptual pillars, however they have evolved independently for many years, with different methods and intermediate goals. Some recent developments have weaved a possible new path of interaction: Collaborations between researchers in the two fields have started, with the potential to enrich each other and find new synergies.
The aim of the proposed meeting is to bring together for the first time the two communities in a broad and comprehensive way, to strengthen this interdisciplinary overlap and foster new collaborations and developments, concentrating primarily on the geometric and general– relativistic aspects. Leading international researchers both in twistor theory and loop quantum gravity will have the opportunity to establish and consolidate the connections between the two areas of research, and to overcome problems at the forefront of both fields.
The North American Particle Accelerator Conference (NAPAC) brings together several hundred experts in all fields of accelerator science and technology.
It is the largest domestic particle accelerator conference and covers the entire spectrum of accelerator science and technology topics. As such, NAPAC is particularly useful for students, postdocs, technicians, and engineers as they can be exposed to the entire field in one conference.
Delegates present invited and contributed papers and posters, receive immediate feedback on their research, and get problem-solving suggestions. Mini-courses on highly-relevant topics are also offered. Everyone leaves with new ideas and possible solutions to their own technical problems. Attendees develop new contacts and strengthen existing collaborations with colleagues throughout the DOE complex and internationally. Many of the most prominent accelerator vendors also present at and help support NAPAC. It is an excellent venue for all conference attendees to bring themselves up to date with the newest developments in accelerator technology.
