Asymptotic Safety meets Particle Physics

10 Feb 2014, 12:00 → 12 Feb 2014, 13:00 GB

University of Sussex

The workshop brings together researchers actively interested in asymptotically safe quantum gravity at colliders and beyond, to discuss the theory, phenomenology & recent advances of asymptotic safety, to explore future avenues and to compare findings with experiment. This is the second meeting of its kind, following the first one held at U Dortmund in May 2013.
