First Zagreb School on Theoretical Physics

26 Jun 2017, 09:00 → 7 Jul 2017, 18:00 Europe/Zagreb

Oleg Antipin (CP3-Origins), Damir Becirevic (CNRS et Universite Paris Sud), Larisa Jonke (IRB), Predrag Lazić, Fabrizio Nesti (Rudjer Boskovic Institue), Paolo Salucci (SISSA)

The first theoretical physics school at Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, organized in two weeks.

Week 1: The first week (June 26-30) is a full immersion into Phenomenology of Particle Physics and Cosmology, for PhD students and young postdocs. The topics include Standard Model and beyond, Flavour physics, Perturbative QCD, Dark matter, Cosmology and CMB, Cosmic rays, Large scale structures.

Week 2: The second week (July 4-6) focuses on Mathematical Physics and Condensed Matter with topics including Entanglement entropy, Black hole physics, Higher spin theories, First principles calculations for crystal structure prediction, Reproducibility in density functional theory calculations, NMR characterization, Advanced exchange-correlation functionals, Microscopic theory of friction.
