Dark World to Swampland: The 5th IBS-IFT-MultiDark Workshop

13 Oct 2020, 15:30 → 16 Oct 2020, 19:00 Asia/Seoul

Online

The IBS-IFT-MultiDark Workshop is a regular event organized jointly by IFT, MultiDark, and IBS-CTPU. The purpose of this workshop is to exchange ideas, to promote collaborations, and to discuss recent developments in theoretical high energy physics. 

The workshop is oriented towards string phenomenology (Oct 13 and 15), as well as dark matter and particle physics (Oct 14 and 16), and will cover a wide range of research topics. 

Under the circumstances the event will be held online via Zoom. A link will be provided by email to the registered participants before the workshop week.  

The Institute for Basic Science (IBS), comprises 30 centers, including three experimental and theoretical ones on particle physics, cosmology, and string phenomenology:

• Center for Theoretical Physics of the Universe (CTPU)

• Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP)

• Center for Underground Physics (CUP)

The Institute for Theoretical Physics (IFT) UAM-CSIC is a joint research center belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM). It is the only Spanish center dedicated entirely to research in Theoretical Physics. The IFT members develop research in the frontiers of Elementary Particle Physics, Astroparticles, and Cosmology, in order to understand the fundamental keys of Nature and the Universe.

MultiDark (Multimessenger Approach for Dark Matter Detection), is the Spanish project for dark matter searches consisting of 11 theoretical, experimental, and astrophysics groups from 18 Spanish universities and research institutes.
