11th International Workshop on the CKM Unitarity Triangle (CKM 2021)
November 22-26 2021
CKM 2021 is the 11th International Workshop on the CKM Unitarity Triangle, to be held November 22 to 26, 2021 in an online format hosted by the University of Melbourne, Australia. The CKM series is a well-established international meeting in the field of quark-flavour physics that brings together experimentalists and theorists to a common platform. The program covers neutron, kaon, charm and beauty hadron, top quark physics and lepton flavour violating Higgs.

14th International Workshop on Top Quark Physics (TOP 2021)
September 13-17 2021
The 14th International Workshop on Top Quark Physics (TOP 2021) will be held online. TOP 2021 will bring together experimentalists and theorists to present and discuss the latest developments in top-quark physics. This year's meeting will be an on-line conference hosted by Michigan State University and other North American institutions. The program includes a mini-workshop entitled "Top Physics @ Future Colliders”. Young scientists are especially encouraged to participate, and there will be a poster session as well as a block of short plenary talks in the "Young Scientist Forum'', allowing them to present their work.

Large Hadron Collider Physics (LHCP2021)
June 07-12 2021
The LHCP conference series started in 2013 after a successful fusion of two international conferences, "Physics at Large Hadron Collider Conference" and "Hadron Collider Physics Symposium". The conference programme will be devoted to a detailed review of the latest experimental and theoretical results on collider physics, and recent results of the LHC Run II, and discussions on further research directions within the high energy particle physics community including both theory and experiment sides. The main goal of the conference is to provide intense and lively discussions between experimentalists and theorists in research areas such as the Standard Model Physics and Beyond, the Higgs Boson, Supersymmetry, Heavy Quark Physics and Heavy Ion Physics as well as the recent progress in the high luminosity upgrades of the LHC and future colliders developments.
Participation of TTK:
Malgorzata Worek: Theoretical aspects of top physics
Elias Bernreuther: Theoretical overview of Dark Showers
Annual meeting of the SFB TRR 257
May 26-28 2021
The annual meeting of our SFB TRR 257 takes place in Siegen and via zoom.
Participation of TTK:
Several talks by the PIs and young scientists within the SFB
RADCOR-LoopFest 2021
May 17-21 2021
The conference, hosted by the Florida State University as a virtual event, is the joint edition of the 15th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections (RADCOR) and the XIX Workshop on Radiative Corrections for the LHC and Future Colliders (LoopFest). It is dedicated to the application of quantum field theory techniques to particle physics phenomenology, and will span five days of plenary and parallel talks.
Participation of TTK:
Michele Lupattelli: NLO QCD corrections for off-shell ttbb
Virtual entities in Science: a virtual workshop
March 05-26 2021
This workshop is organized by the project "Virtual Particles" (A1) of the DFG Research Unit The Epistemology of the Large Hadron Collider. The workshop will be held online on four consecutive Fridays: March 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2021 and is co-organized by TTK.
The concept of the “virtual” has a long tradition in physics, with "virtual displacements" or "virtual images" dating back to long before the dawn of the digital age. In today’s physics, the term "virtual" is mostly associated with the quantum world, first and foremost with the “virtual particle” of quantum field theory.
In other disciplines, however, use of the term "virtual" without a digital connotation is much rarer. The basic idea behind the terminology of the virtual, however, could be much more common, even outside of physics.
For this workshop we invite contributions that address the historical formation and philosophical interpretation of concepts of virtual entities in physics and other disciplines – in whatever terms they may come. The main goal of the workshop is to bring to the fore similarities and differences in the meanings and functions of these concepts. Work that integrates philosophical and historical approaches is particularly welcome.
