Asymptotic Safety Meets Particle Physics

15 Dec 2020, 09:45 → 17 Dec 2020, 17:00 Europe/Zurich

Daniel Litim (University of Sussex), Gudrun Hiller (Technische Universitaet Dortmund (DE))

The workshop brings together researchers interested in the subject of asymptotic safety and related topics, to discuss the theory, phenomenology and recent advances in the field, to explore future avenues and compare findings with experiment. This is the seventh meeting of its kind, following the previous events:

• 16-19 Dec 2019 in Dortmund
• 17-20 Dec 2018 in Dortmund
• 05-08 Jan 2016 in Dortmund
• 16-18 June 2015 in Sussex
• 10-12 Feb 2014 in Sussex
• 15-17 May 2013 in Dortmund

 

Due to the lack of Christmas markets, this years meeting will be virtual. Presentations are given via Zoom, discussion sessions and social get-togethers take place on Remo. All links will be distributed via this Indico page.

For preparation, please try to log in to Remo and check if camera and microphone are working. If not, try with a different browser.

There is going to be a Glühwein session, please make sure to have a fun amount of mulled wine, or similar seasonal drinks at your disposal.

 

Registration is now open! You are encouraged to sign up with a (30+10) min presentation.
