New physics at colliders and beyond

25 Jun 2018, 08:00 → 28 Jun 2018, 18:00 Europe/London

Physics Lecture Theatre, GO Jones, GF (Queen Mary University of London)

Chris White (Queen Mary University of London), Ulla Blumenschein (University of London (GB))

The 8th NExT Ph.D. Workshop will be held at Queen Mary University of London, 25-28 June 2018. It will be devoted to new physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider, as well as flavour and neutrino experiments. 

Lectures:

“Constraining new physics with GAMBIT”, Dr. Pat Scott, Imperial College.

“Model-independent approaches to new physics”, Dr. Christoph Englert, University of Glasgow.

“Introduction to Cosmology”, Prof. Catherine Heymans, University of Edinburgh.

“Introduction to Flavour and Neutrino Physics”, Prof. Steve King, University of Southampton.

 

The workshop will feature in addition sessions on careers advice, public engagement, and employer engagement.

The workshop is open to NExT Institute staff members, PDRAs and students, any member of the five constituent nodes and all PhD students in the UK. 

Accommodation, tuition and catering is free of charge for STFC students and PhD students from NExT institutes. 

 

Topics: BSM Physics, Neutrino physics, Particle Cosmology, Collider physics

Organisers: Chris White, Ulla Blumenschein
