E9, Yang Seung-Taek Auditorium (2nd Floor) (KAIST)

We are happy to announce Light Dark World 2024, the 9th meeting of the annual Light Dark World International Forum series. It will be held in person at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Daejeon from August 12 to 15, 2024.

 

The presentation sessions will be held on August 12-14. August 15 is reserved for free discussions.

 

Light Dark World 2024 will bring together global experts from experiment and theory to discuss recent advances and develop new opportunities to study new light particles beyond the Standard Model, including light gauge boson, light scalar, light dark matter, axion, light sterile neutrinos, and dark energy fields.

• Asli M. Abdullahi (Fermilab)
• Brian Batell (Pittsburgh)
• Kimberly Boddy (UT Austin)
• Francesca Chadha-Day (Durham)
• Annika Hollnagel (Mainz)
• Alejandro Ibarra (TU Munich)
• Sunghoon Jung (SNU)
• Felix Kahlhoefer (Karlsruhe)
• Pyungwon Ko (KIAS)
