We are delighted to welcome you to the University of Manchester for the following joint programme.
New windows on Fundamental Physics: from tabletop devices to large scale detectors (20 - 23 Jan)
This will be preceded by a one day UK Astroparticle Phenomenology (UK-APP) meeting (19 Jan). The previous UK-APP meeting can be found at this link.
The main workshop will consist of invited and contributed talks, as well as a poster session including a prize for best poster. The one-day meeting will comprise mainly contributed talks. We strongly encourage contributions for both meetings and welcome submissions from underrepresented groups. The focus of the 4-day meeting will be on tabletop detectors and quantum technologies for fundamental physics (QTFP), including
- Precision metrology & quantum sensing
- Cold atoms and molecules
- Quantum analogues
- Atom interferometry
- 5th force tests
- Axion/WIMP dark matter & dark energy
- Neutrinos
- Gravitational waves
- Tabletop detectors
Note that the total number of participants is limited, and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Registration will be closed early if capacity is reached.
Current confirmed speakers for the main workshop include:
- Giovanni Bartoni Birmingham
- Clare Burrage Nottingham
- Aaron Chou Chicago
- Ed Daw Sheffield
- Joe Formaggio MIT
- Andrew Geraci Northwestern
- Hartmut Grote Cardiff
- Takis Kontos ENS Paris
