![]() An overarching goal of the school will be to provide participants with concrete practical skills for data modeling. 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. 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. 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. Additional details are in the Summer School website:, including a preliminary list of lecturers. The target participants are graduate students and junior postdocs. 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 interaction between the experimental and theoretical communities will foster the merging of `how to search’ with `where to search’ into optimized strategies to hunt for the axion. Novel techniques have been put forth that, besides exploiting the axion- photon coupling, aim to reveal axions via their couplings to nucleons and electrons. From the experimental side, a blossoming of potentially game-changing ideas, with an exciting crossover from experimental particle physics to materials science and cutting-edge technologies is inspiring new methods for axion searches. Cosmological scenarios in which the PQ symmetry is broken before inflation foresee axions imprints in the CMB, while in post-inflationary scenarios axion miniclusters, with overdensities several orders of magnitude larger than the local density of CDM, are expected to form, and a reliable assessment of their properties is of utmost importance. Astrophysical observations provide strong bounds on axion properties because stellar evolution would be affected by the existence of axions and, intriguingly, some excesses in star energy losses have been reported. Quantitative assessments of the axion contribution to Cold Dark Matter (CDM) involve top-notch lattice simulations of non- perturbative QCD effects, as well as of the cosmic evolution of axionic topological defects. The aim is to foster a fruitful cross breeding between different theoretical areas, with a focus on certain open issues in axion particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Priority will be given to students and junior researchers from the Asia-Pacific region.The purpose of this workshop is to bring together scientists with different backgrounds and expertise to discuss open problems, recent developments and future directions in axion physics, a field that is notoriously replete with interdisciplinary connections. third or fourth year students), who have taken a quantum-field-theory or particle-physics course, are also encouraged to apply.įinancial Support: Some financial support will be possible for participants from developing countries, see the application form. August 5: Departure of participants (last lecture ends at 12:00)Īpplicants: Master/PhD students and young researchers are welcome to apply for participation in the VSOP-28.July 25: First lecture starts at 8:30 at ICISE.ICISE has a nice, quiet campus with palm trees and a beautiful beach. The lecture hall is equipped with a video projector, a blackboard, audio system, wireless connection. Location: ICISE center, located by the sea and surrounded by mountains, about 6km from the city of Quy Nhon. In addition to fundamental knowledge of Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model (SM), the lectures will cover theories beyond the SM, dark matter, experimental methods for collider searches at the LHC, Monte Carlo methods, and machine learning. The 28th VSOP will be devoted to particle physics and dark matter, both theory and experiment. The school is also funded by the Asia-Pacific Centre for Theoretical Physics ( APCTP), Pohang, Korea and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics ( ICTP), Italy as an external activity. It became an international school in 1995 with participation of Vietnamese and foreign students. This school belongs to a series of schools originating from a school created in 1994 by Nguyen Van Hieu and Tran Thanh Van and funded by Rencontres du Vietnam.
