FTCP - 2024

14 Feb 2024, 07:00 → 17 Feb 2024, 14:00 Asia/Kolkata

Multipurpose Hall (C-202), Guest House, IISER-Pune (IISER-Pune)

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together theorists and experimentalists working in particle physics in order to identify the critical areas of research in contemporary collider physics. Topics of discussions will range from the uses and applicability of effective field theories for handling and interpreting data (from experiments with different in-states running at varying energies) to handling the ongoing and upcoming challenges in using physics objects with very high Lorentz boosts, soft energy deposits, long lives, and disappearing signatures. Here is a brief summary of discussions we are aiming for.

1. EFTs for interpreting collider data – its usage and subtleties etc. 

2. Theories with light (pseudo)scalars, vectors, dark sectors etc.   
3. On the identification of and extracting physics information from :
   • Unresolved (collimated) objects
   • semi-invisible showers
   • Displaced (long lived) objects (disappearing tracks, displaced vertices, tracks, leptons, jets etc.)
   • Events with inward moving objects
   • slow moving particles
   • Soft particles
4. Use of ML  on the identification of and extracting physics information from objects listed in Item 3.
5. Trigger strategies for the objects listed in Item 3..
6. On the theoretical/phenomenological understandings of objects listed in Item 3.
7. Specialized detectors for non-conventional physics at LHC. 

Please note that registeration and participation in this workshop is only by invitation. We are limited by accommodation and other logistics.
