Amplitudes Annual Conference

US/Eastern
Description

Amplitudes 2020, the 12th in a series of annual meetings, brings together a community of physicists and mathematicians to showcase the most recent developments in expanding our understanding of formal and phenomenological aspects of scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory.

Due to COVID-19 the conference will be held online via Zoom @ Brown University instead of at the University of Michigan. You can also watch the livestream if you are unable to connect on Zoom. Please join the amplitudes2020 slack
