Symmetries Across Scales 

This workshop aims to bring together leading experts from particle, hadron, nuclear physics, and cosmology to explore how symmetries manifest across vastly different energy and length scales. The goal is to foster deep discussion and conceptual connections between fields that are often treated separately. By combining perspectives from high-energy collider physics, precision experiments, strong-field QED, and cosmology, we aim to identify common structures and future directions.

Topics

  • Concepts of Symmetries across length scales
  • Measurements across energy scales
  • Violation of Symmetries
  • Symmetries in the Standard model
  • BSM Physics
  • Symmetries and related phenomena at the largest scales: Astrophysics and Cosmology

 

Important Dates

  • Fee payment deadline 26.11.2026
  • Workshop start: 06.12.2026
