In recent years, great progress has been made on computing rates for production processes of direct relevance to experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), as well as on modeling waveforms for gravitational-wave signals from compact binary systems. The understanding and ability to compute scattering amplitudes and classical observables has been important for linking those seemingly unrelated topics. As a consequence, we are witnessing remarkable advances in both fields.
The aim of the School is to bring together young theorists working on LHC physics with those working on gravitational-wave detection and modeling, and to provide them the analytic tools to compute amplitudes and on-shell quantities. The school is addressed to Ph.D. students and early post-docs in High-Energy and Gravitational Theoretical Physics. 42 hours of lectures and 8 hours of tutorials will be delivered over the 13 days of the School.

NEW!
A welcome reception will be offered on Monday, 2 and 9 October at 6:30 pm in the main square of Atrani (la piazzetta). If the weather is unfavourable, it will be offered at the school.
The school is jointly funded by the INFN and the Universities of Naples and Zurich. This project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme High precision multi-jet dynamics at the LHC (grant agreement number 772099)
