The QCD Master Class 2023 will take place on June 4-17 2023 in Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, a small village in Brittany (west of France) close to the city of Saint-Malo and the world famous Mont Saint-Michel. Five lectures in QCD, of approximately 10 hours each, will be given to 35 young researchers and faculty staff members.

The thematic school Gravitational wave emission from proto-neutron stars and neutron star mergers (GWsNS-2023) is a graduate school that will cover several aspects of the gravitational wave (GW) emission from neutron stars. Lectures will mainly focus on the gravitational emission from supernovae, proto-neutron stars and coalescing binaries, with an eye on the connection between astrophysical phenomena and the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter that defines the structure and macroscopic behaviour of these compact objects.

University of Michigan

We are pleased to announce the second Michigan Cosmology Summer School from June 5-9, 2023 at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, MI. The target participants are graduate students and junior postdocs. Additional details are in the Summer School website: https://johannesulf.github.io/cosmology-school-2023/, including a preliminary list of lecturers. While we expect the majority of participants to be in-person, we will provide a hybrid setup, opening lectures and interaction spaces to online participants. This should significantly broaden the accessibility of the School to junior scientists based in countries from which it is expensive and difficult to travel to the U.S. The school will cover topics across the field of cosmology ranging from theory to experiment, but the emphasis will be on computation and the interface between data and theory. An overarching goal of the school will be to provide participants with concrete practical skills for data modeling. The focus will be on the theoretical underpinnings of inflation, dark matter, and dark energy using modern measurements, principally those coming from the LSS and CMB. The registration opens late January. The Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics will heavily subsidize registration costs to minimize barriers for attendees. The weather in Michigan that time of the year should be very nice, with long sunny days. We are planning to organize some outdoor activities as well.

The AdS/CFT correspondence, first proposed by Juan Maldacena in 1997, relates purely field theoretic models (in the absence of gravity) with a gravitational theory (usually embedded in string theory) in a higher dimension, the correspondence being holographic in nature. Since it is a duality, such that a perturbative model on one side corresponds to a nonperturbative one on the other, it has been applied to understand a multitude of interesting nonperturbative problems, in various areas of theoretical physics.

The Holography@25 will take place at the ICTP-SAIFR in São Paulo, Brazil, and there will be a School (June 5-13, 2023) and a Workshop (June 14-17, 2023). Candidates may apply either for one or both activities.

Hausdorff Center for Mathematics – hcm (Universität Bonn)

TQFTs (Topological quantum field theories) are of central importance in several areas of mathematics and physics. From a mathematical point of view (going back to Atiyah), a TQFT is a symmetric monoidal functor from the cobordism category to some symmetric monoidal category. It can thus be seen as a representation of a fundamental geometric category on a target category and thereby organizes interesting algebraic structures, e.g. representations of mapping class groups, in terms of cobordism categories. In recent years, TQFTs have appeared in many more mathematical areas such as algebraic topology (the study of 4-manifolds) or algebraic geometry (the study of moduli spaces). In this Hausdorff school we would like to explore various facets of TQFTs related to representation theory and mathematical physics. The interplay of representation theory and TQFT is, at least, two-fold: on the one hand side, representation theory provides input data to construct TQFTs. The most famous example is given by the quantum groups Uq(sl(2)) from which a modular tensor category and thus a Chern-Simons type TQFT can be constructed. On the other hand, TQFTs explain and organize structures appearing in representation categories, for example character varieties and their quantizations.

Given that we have long expanded the topics of RAD conferences, after ten conferences held so far, we decided to change the name, and as you can see, the name of the RAD 2023 conference is the Eleventh International Conference on Radiation, Natural Sciences, Medicine, Engineering, Technology and Ecology. We have thus included other areas, which have been already presented at RAD conferences, but were not highlighted.

Due to the lack of young researchers and the fact that young people are less and less interested in science, we will pay special attention to young researchers (PhD holders younger than 35 years old) and students (undergraduate, master and PhD students), and there will be special sections for them. So, we take this opportunity to invite all kinds of students!

Radiation Processing, Study of Radiation Effects, Radiation Protection,    Multidisciplinary Events in Physics

The school aims at introducing PhD students and young researchers to some among the recent developments in mathematical physics, with an emphasis on many-body problems, quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. In recent years new analytical and probabilistic methods have been developed within these fields, allowing the mathematical physics community to advance in the understanding of the statistical mechanics properties of many-body and field-particle systems. The goal of the school is on the one hand to present such methods and on the other hand to provide an environment for the exchange of ideas among researchers with different mathematical background and research focus.

Aix-Marseille University

The ITER International School (ISS) responds to the need for training in this critical energy context, where fusion research is a cornerstone for the success of a large-scale project and international impact. The IIS has naturally become a global reference in the ITER project. The ITER International School aims to prepare young scientists and engineers for working in the field of nuclear fusion and in research applications associated with the ITER Project. The adoption of a “school format” was a consequence of the need to prepare future scientists and engineers on a range of different subjects and to provide them with a wide overview of the interdisciplinary skills required by the ITER project. The subject of this year's school is “The Impact and Consequences of Energetic Particles on Fusion Plasmas”. As the start of ITER operations approaches, it is timely to address this multidisciplinary topic that includes plasma self-heating by fusion-born alpha-particles, the influence of energetic particles on stability, diagnosing energetic particle transport and loss, and understanding runaway electrons.

The Carpathian Summer School of Physics 2023, the 30th edition of this school, is scheduled to take place again in Sinaia, July 2-15, 2023. Given the improved conditions from the pandemic of recent years and the need to re-create the opportunities for in-person communication for all in our field, we will once again have this Carpathian school in-person.

The title and topics are being retained from recent past schools: "Exotic Nuclei and Nuclear/Particle Astrophysics. Physics with small accelerators”. It is part of the ENNAS (European Network of Nuclear Astrophysics Schools), is supported by the European Horizon 2020 project ChETEC-INFRA, and is recognized by the Division of Nuclear Physics of EPS.

The same format from recent schools will be maintained: a combination of school-like and conference presentations, with 1-2 hour-long invited lectures by senior scientists/professors and 20 minute short student communications. The school is aimed at graduate students, post-docs and young or established researchers. Students from all countries are invited to attend. A limited number of stipends to cover the local expenses for students will be available.

The past decade have seen important progress by mathematicians and physicists alike on a class of geometric objects called symplectic singularities. On the math side, they lie at the crossroad between algebraic geometry and representation theory, while from the physical perspective they arise as moduli space for supersymmetric quantum field theories. As such, they can be studied using tools from string theories and branes. The first week will be a summer school, the second week will be a workshop. Participants can attend the first week, the second week, or both.

Quantum mechanics offers dramatically novel ways to process information. It is known that a fully functioning quantum computer would break some encrypting algorithms, such as RSA, which is used nowadays. However, quantum mechanics offers an alternative to standard cryptography, which cannot be broken by a quantum computer – the quantum key distribution. For this reason, designing and realizing quantum key distribution protocols in practice is a highly important task and involves a huge effort of theoreticians and engineers nowadays. Depending on the level of professional paranoia, there are different levels of trust toward devices realizing quantum key distribution, ranging from device dependent through semi-device dependent to fully device-independent quantum cryptography. Due to novel quantum hacker attacks which exploit imperfections of implementation, the lower levels of security need the significant effort of engineers to be useful for encryption.

The quantum world is always portrayed as something weird, spooky, and utterly impossible to comprehend. How can we ever hope to talk or reason about such a complicated thing? In this summer school you’ll learn how to do just that via a newly developed pictorial representation of quantum processes. This new representation is friendly and intuitive to work with, but at the same time is provably equivalent to the old way of doing things. Using these ideas we’ll explore the breadth of quantum theory, from foundational phenomena and quantum resources to quantum computing and cryptography.

From a modern point of view, quantum field theory associates to every symmetry a topological defect, which acts on local and extended observables. This understanding has recently led to the discovery of new higher notions of symmetry, which in turn has shed new light on some of the most mysterious and profound phenomena described by quantum field theory, including color confinement in non-abelian gauge theories and duality. The deep link between symmetry and topology finds its natural expression in the mathematics of topological quantum field theory, such as the modular tensor categories that describe invariants of knots and the long-distance physics of anyons. Recent advances have centered on the rich categorical structure of various defects and how it encodes the fundamental idea of locality, as expressed by the cobordism hypothesis.

The exchange of mass, energy, and metals between galaxies, their surrounding circum-galactic medium (CGM), and the gas permeating halos at larger scale represents a fundamental part of the modern astrophysics. Both components still elude our knowledge. Indeed, we are very far from having a census of the CGM properties in the bulk of the galaxy population. Furthermore, the halo gas is well known at large scale only in the most massive halos of our Universe, the galaxy clusters (intra-cluster medium, ICM), but it is still very elusive in the bulk of the virtualized halo population at the group mass scale (Intra-group medium IGrM).

With the advent of instrument such as eROSITA, XRISM and JWST, and the enormous variety of results collected by Alma, MUSE, KCWI and LOFAR, it is time to review the state of the art of this research field. The final goal of this workshop is to fill the knowledge gap and review in an unbiased way all the key aspects of the baryon cycle: from the hot IGrM enclosed in the bulk of the virtualized halo population, to the CGM at hundreds of kpc from the central galaxy, and down to the main mechanisms in act at the galaxy center able to trigger the baryonic exchange.

The summer school will bring together advanced undergraduate and early master students in mathematics, life sciences, physics, computer sciences, and chemistry enrolled in Canadian universities.The main objectives of the summer school are to expose them to cutting-edge research at the interface of scientific domains,to open their minds to interdisciplinary research, and to excite them to pursue their studies in these fields.This summer school is founded on the belief that fundamental progress in science can be achieved by combining knowledge, concepts, tools, and methods from diverse scientific disciplines.

It is widely accepted that habitability and the capability of a planet to maintain its habitable conditions are deeply interwoven with its chemical composition and physical properties such as its atmospheric and geological/geophysical characteristics, orbital motion, dynamics, and its interactions with its host star. How these interactions originate and how they enable the planet to maintain its habitability are complex questions that can only be answered through collaborations between scientists of their respective fields. This workshop aims to bring together scientists from the fields of stellar astrophysics, planetary science, planetary dynamics, geology, and geophysics to discuss fundamental questions regarding the formation, characterization, and detection of habitable planets. Our plan is to facilitate interactions among participants through lectures, presentations and discussion sessions as well as to provide them with ample time to initiate collaborations and carry out their independent research. Our workshop is open to scientists of all levels, in particular junior and early-career researchers.

How did quantum fluctuations of the inflaton field provide the seeds for structure on cosmological scales? Did other fields play a role during inflation? How did their quantum fluctuations imprint on cosmological observables (e.g., non-Gaussianity) or survive as cosmological relics today (e.g., dark matter, matter/antimatter asymmetry)? How can these degrees of freedom be embedded into a compelling UV theory? By bringing together experts on particle physics and cosmology, we hope to develop a deeper understanding of these tough questions over the course of this 4-week MIAPbP meeting.

Likely pathways from the inanimate to the animate world involve a transition that can be thought of as the emergence of information in molecular systems. Before this transition, heteropolymers already exist, but the sequence information of a polymer does not persist beyond the lifetime of the polymer. During the transition, information becomes a separate dynamical entity, which lives and changes over longer timescales than its carrier molecules. This transition does not necessarily require the existence of a full-fledged replication machinery, such as polymerase enzymes that copy informational polymers. Instead, the interplay of simpler reactions can create strong correlations in pools of informational polymers, which can also decouple the timescales of the informational dynamics from those of the polymer dynamics. This interplay is only beginning to be studied, experimentally as well as computationally and theoretically, such that many conceptual and methodological questions are currently open. The central aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists with different backgrounds, in order to attack these questions together.

Fertile common ground has emerged for the mathematical structures that control perturbative calculations in different domains of fundamental physics – quantum field theory, general relativity, and their extension to string theory. This program brings together experts in these various domains of physics, as well as mathematicians with expertise in higher-genus surfaces and Calabi-Yau periods. Through an in-depth exchange among these communities, we aim to: · trigger technology transfer for advancing the precision frontier in perturbative quantum field theory and string theory, leading to insights that will impact both phenomenology, such as collider and gravitational-wave physics, and formal theory, such as string dualities and holography; · chart a course towards new understanding of the role of special functions in high energy physics, opening new avenues to reformulate quantum field theory and string theory to manifest the similarities of their mathematical structures.

In recent years, spurred in large part by the development of first-principles numerical simulations, the plasma astrophysics community has made important strides in understanding the plasma processes relevant for astrophysical systems. The next step, which will be a key topic of the MIAPbP program, is to connect the rich plasma behavior to observed radiative phenomena. These phenomena include old puzzles, e.g. hard X-ray emission from accreting black holes, gamma-ray flares from blazars, cosmic ray acceleration, giant magnetar flares and GRBs. Plasma physics is also key to solving new puzzles such as the cosmological FRBs and gamma-rays from neutron star mergers. The role of plasma instabilities is especially prominent in transient phenomena and strong connections are emerging between plasma physics and time-domain astronomy, a quickly developing observational field. Plasma physics also plays an increasing role in multi-messenger astronomy where main targets are energetic compact objects capable of producing neutrinos, gravitational waves, and nonthermal radiation. The current efforts to understand plasma behavior lay the foundations for the future of high-energy astrophysics. Within a two-week MIAPbP program, we want to facilitate progress in this direction by bringing together both senior researchers as well as early-career scientists.

Effective field theory (EFT) is a powerful tool for describing the physics of systems at different energy scales. In the context of colliders and gravitational waves, EFTs together with multi-loop precision computation techniques play an essential role in creating precise theoretical predictions that can be compared with empirical data. Recently it has become evident that similar methods and computational tools can be successfully applied to the seemingly different fields of collider and gravitational wave physics. This workshop will bring together experts to discuss the latest developments in theory and phenomenology.
