Conferences and Workshops 2019
TOP 2019
September 22 to 27 2019
The 12th International Workshop on Top Quark Physics (TOP 2019) will be held at Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), Beijing, China. Following the long tradition of the workshop series, the 2019 edition will be dedicated to an overview of the most up-to-date experimental measurements at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and latest theoretical developments on top quark physics. Special focus on theoretical developments related to physics beyond the standard model will be given in a Mini-Workshop with the name “Top Meets New Physics” that will take place on Thursday, September 26th. There will also be a session on top quark physics at future facilities such as the High Luminosity LHC and CEPC/SppC.
Participation of TTK:
Michal Czakon: Top quark mass at the LHC
RADCOR 2019
September 9 to 13 2019
The conference in Avignon, France, is the 14th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections:
Applications of Quantum Field Theory to Phenomenology. It is devoted to the applications of quantum field theory to particle physics phenomenology. Subjects will include precision calculations for colliders; progress in higher-loop and higher-multiplicity calculations in the Standard Model; cross sections for new physics; interpretations of experimental data; new techniques for calculations; advances in computer-algebra methods; and new theoretical developments.
Participation of TTK:
Malgorzata Worek: Cross section ratios as a precision tool for ttgamma at the LHC
Cosmo19
September 2 to 6 2019
The next edition of COSMO is organized by TTK and will be held at CARL here at RWTH Aachen University. As in previous editions, the conference will address hot topics in cosmology and astroparticle physics, including:
- Early Universe Physics
- Gravitational Waves and Black Holes
- Dark Matter and Astroparticle Physics
- CMB, Universe Expansion, and Thermal History
- Large Scale Structure
- Modified Gravity and Dark Energy
CRC Workshop: Standard Model Effective Theory
July 11 to 12 2019
This meeting of our CRC on Standard Model Effective Theory takes place at Heidelberg.
CRC Meeting: Dark Matter
May 15 to 16 2019
This meeting of our CRC on Dark matter takes place here at TTK.
Standard Model at the LHC 2019
April 23 to 26 2019
The SM@LHC Workshop at Zurick University deals with the latest developments and future prospects in Standard Model phenomenology at the LHC, with emphasis on the most interesting and topical aspects at the interface between theory and experiment. The main topics include Electroweak, QCD, Higgs, Top and Flavor physics.
Participation of TTK:
Michal Czakon: Theory status of top production and decay
DPG Spring Meeting
March 25 to 29 2019
Each year, the German physical society invites the scientific community to participate in the annual spring meetings. More than 1000 physicists from experiment and theory in high-energy physics gather this year here at RWTH Aachen University. The scientific program consists of almost 1000 contributions! Of course, the TTK also contributes.
Participation of TTK:
Felix Kahlhoefer: Don't be a WIMP - new ideas for light dark matter
Jonas Klappert: Laporta algorithm with finite fields
Jonas Klappert: The light MSSM Higgs mass: merging fixed order and resummation at three loop
Fabian Lange: The gradient flow at higher orders in perturbation theory
Patrick Stöcker: CosmoBit: Towards global fits of particle physics and cosmology for dark matter
CRC Kickoff Meeting
March 18 to 19 2019
The first meeting of our newly established CRC "Particle Physics Phenomenology after the Higgs Discovery" takes place in Karlsruhe, where the CRC members form Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, RWTH Aachen University, University of Siegen and Heidelberg University come together
International Conference on Dark Matter & Modified Gravity
February 6 to 8 2019
Dark Matter & Modified Gravity is a 3-day conference taking place from 6 to 8 February 2019 here at RWTH Aachen University, Germany. It aims to bring together physicists as well as philosophers, historians and sociologists of physics/science working at the interface of dark matter and modified gravity. This conference is organized by the project LHC and Gravity within the interdisciplinary, DFG-funded research unit Epistemology of the LHC.
Participation of TTK:
Julien Lesgourgues: Conceptual differences between Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Modified Gravity
Niels Martens: Dark Matter = Modified Gravity?
Felix Kahlhoefer: Dark matter beyond the usual assumptions
