Long-lived particles can arise from a broad set of models and they receive experimental attention in dedicated searches in the LHC datasets. However, attention has so far been mostly focused on the experimentally simpler first and second generation particle decays, and the decays to the third generation are deserving of ...

We will celebrate Peter Higgs' 90th birthday with an afternoon of talks looking back to the journey to the discovery of the Higgs boson and looking forward to future discoveries in particle physics. The talks will be given by: Lyn Evans (CERN) Chiara Mariotti (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Torino ...

The aim of this meeting is to bring together experts in small- x physics to discuss recent progress in the field. Topics to be discussed include collider phenomenology, amplitudes and calculations with transverse-momentum-dependent distributions at higher orders. The workshop will feature some review talks on the following topics Theory Overview ...

Physics by the Lake is the UK national summer school on theoretical condensed matter physics, aimed at PhD students towards the end of their first year. While geared towards UK students, we welcome participants worldwide. It is organised by the Institute of Physics (IOP) Theory of Condensed Matter group. It ...

The matter distribution of the universe follows a web-like structure, consisting of sheets, filaments, knots and voids. This cosmic web, the focus of the proposed workshop, provides the environment for the formation and evolution of galaxies in the universe, and is fundamentally connected to cosmology. Our goal is to bring ...

The 5th edition of the Higgs Centre School of Theoretical Physics will take place in May 27- May 31 2019 at the Higgs Centre, James Clerk Maxwell Building, Edinburgh. The scientific programme starts at 9:00 on Monday, May 27th, and ends at 16:00 on Friday, May 31st. The ...

When energy is continuously fed into a system the states of matter, large scale structures it can form, and the collective dynamics it undergoes are far richer than for a system in thermal equilibrium. In the last decade, two distinct and separate communities have developed addressing aspects of this problem ...

Non-equilibrium processes play important roles at many length scales, from controlling chromatin interactions within a cell nucleus to governing the collective dynamics of fish schools. "Interdisciplinary Challenges in Non-Equilibrium Physics" will bring together early career researchers working across these scales. By identifying common theoretical insights, computational approaches and experimental methodologies ...

The aim of this workshop is to bring together international experts on AdS/CFT, gravitational physics, hydrodynamics and quantum information to explore and further develop their relation within holography and strongly coupled systems. Confirmed speakers : Jose Barbon, IFT, CSIC and UAM (Madrid, Spain) Michal P. Heller, Max Planck Institute for ...

Higgs-Maxwell workshops are a series of annual one-day meetings to discuss the current topics in theoretical and experimental particle physics and the prospects for future discoveries. The meeting is organised by the Universities of Durham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Lancaster. This year's meeting, taking place on February 20th at the ...

Co-sponsored and co-hosted by Michela Massimi, Professor of Philosophy of Science, this two-day workshop will bring together particle physicists, astrophysicists and cosmologists to discuss the state of the art on methodological challenges and promises in using model-independent searches across a range of areas and searches.   Speakers Tessa Baker Riccardo Barbieri ...

A day of networking between leading researchers and industry This one-day event at the Higgs Centre for Innovation will drive collaboration between academia and industry and promote the talent pool at the University of Edinburgh. This one-day event at the Higgs Centre for Innovation will drive collaboration between academia and ...

New Directions in Theoretical Physics is a series of prestigious interdisciplinary conferences organised by the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics , aiming to generate an exchange of ideas and highlight new approaches to challenges in all areas of theoretical physics. All talks in this meeting are plenary review talks and are ...
