Back to the Swamp

The Swampland program gives general constraints on effective theories to be compatible with quantum gravity, therefore defining the Landscape of consistent theories. The program is quickly gaining command of the fundamental understanding of open questions in particle physics and cosmology, ranging from the hierarchy of fundamental scales in nature, to the origin and final fate of the universe.

The aim of this workshop is to gather leading experts in the field, to discuss the recent developments in our understanding of the Swampland and its implications for cosmology and particle physics.

This is the third edition of the previous very successful related workshops Vistas over the Swampland and Navigating the Swampland.

Rencontres du Vietnam: Flavour Physics Conference 2022

This meeting, normally held every three years, is intended to promote fruitful collaboration between experimentalists and theorists, between physicists in the areas of:

  • Searches for New Physics including the Dark Sector
  • Phenomenology of Physics Beyond the Standard Model
  • Beauty and Charm physics
  • Kaon physics
  • Tau and Muon physics
  • Neutrino physics
  • CP violation
  • Rare decays

from institutions across the world, by bringing together a limited number of particle physicists in beautiful and inspiring surroundings. A particular emphasis will be made on searches for new physics which complement direct studies at the LHC.

Expert speakers who will introduce the different areas include:

  • Jorge Camalich (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias)
  • Mu-Chun Chen (UC Irvine)
  • Giancarlo D’Ambrosio (INFN Naples)
  • Javier Fuentes (Universidad de Granada)

In addition to having plenty of discussion, we will be producing a jointly-authored paper together during the conference which summarises these and the state of the field. We are looking forward to the participation of those who will be able to actively engage in the discussions and paper-writing sessions, and in turn believe that this will make for a rewarding and fruitful experience for all.

Sixth Workshop on Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures

Dwindling resources together with rising energy costs and climate change are all challenges faced by the next generation of large-scale research infrastructures. Indeed, the enhanced performance of proposed new facilities often comes with anticipated increased power consumption. Sustainable developments at research infrastructures will rely on mid- and long-term strategies for reliable, affordable and carbon-neutral energy supplies.

The ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility) is pleased to host the Sixth Workshop on Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures on 29th and 30th September 2022 in Grenoble, France in collaboration with:

  • CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research)
  • ESS (European Spallation Source)
  • DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron)
  • PSI (Paul Scherrer Institut)
  • ERF (European Association of National Research Facilities)

The workshop is supported by I.FAST (Innovation Fostering in Accelerator Science and Technology).  It will be held in person on the EPS Campus site (sanitary crisis permitting).

ESSRI 2022 will bring together international sustainability experts, stakeholders and representatives from research facilities and future research infrastructure projects worldwide, with the purpose of identifying the challenges, best practices and policies to develop and implement sustainable solutions at research infrastructures. This includes the increase of energy efficiencies, energy system optimizations, storage and savings, implementation and management issues as well as the review of challenges represented by potential future technological solutions and the tools for effective collaboration.

The workshop series ‘Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures’ is a biannual event organised by CERN, ERF and ESS in various locations. Exceptionally, the sixth edition of the series has been selected as one of the key events of ‘Grenoble: European Green Capital 2022‘ to enhance Grenoble’s engagement in sustainability.

The scientific programme of the workshop will be traditionally focused on the following topics:

  • Spin and 3D Structure Structure of the Nucleon
  • TMDs, GPDs and GTMDs
  • Fragmentation Functions
  • Fixed Target and Collider Experiments
  • Meson Structure and Spectroscopy
  • Search for Exotics
  • Future Measurements and Experimental proposals

The opening sessions of the workshop will be dedicated to double-anniversary of COMPASS experiment: 25 years since approval and 20 years since first data-taking.

IUPAP Centenary

The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics will turn 100 years old in 2022.

A series of activities will be carried out to celebrate this Centenary. The Centennial Symposium will take place at ICTP, Trieste, on 11, 12 and 13 July 2022. We hope that many people will be able to participate in person, but we understand that some participants will be on Zoom and so the meeting will be fully hybrid. The Symposium will include plenary talks by keynote speakers and other activities, with an emphasis on aspects of the IUPAP history, on developing countries, collaborations among countries, physics education, and many other items consistent with the IUPAP mission.

BPU11 Congress: 11th International Conference of the Balkan Physical Union
