    Invited Parallel

    We embed a thermal dark matter (DM) candidate within the clockwork framework. This mechanism allows to stabilize the DM particle over cosmological time because it suppresses its decay into Standard Model (SM) particles. At the same time, pair annihilations are unsuppressed, so that the relic density is set by the usual freeze-out of the DM particle from the thermal bath. The slow decay of the...

    We report on the results obtained by Advanced Virgo in the last joint run with LIGO, the observation of first GW source together with gamma and X satellites and astronomical observatories and the scientific outcomes of this revolutionary observation. Finally we report on the status and perspectives of the upgrades of Advanced Virgo.

    Plenary talk

    The mechanism of leptogenesis provides an attractive link between two seemingly disparate pieces of evidence for beyond Standard Model physics, namely, the neutrino mass and matter-antimatter asymmetry. Low-scale leptogenesis is particularly attractive, since it can be tested in various ongoing and future experiments at both energy and intensity frontiers. We will review some low-scale...

    Neutrino Physics
    Plenary talk

    The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment was designed to measure
    Theta13, the smallest mixing angle in the three-neutrino mixing framework, with
    unprecedented precision. The experiment consists of eight functionally identical
    detectors placed underground at different baselines from three pairs of
    nuclear reactors in South China. Since Dec. 2011, the experiment has been
    running stably for more...

    Neutrino Physics
    Plenary talk

    The violation of lepton number is predicted in many new physics scenarios and it is tightly connected to the potential Majorana character of neutrinos; searching for lepton number violation (LNV) therefore constitutes a crucial pathway to physics beyond the Standard Model. In my talk, I will provide a review of the theoretical aspects of LNV and Majorana neutrinos. I will try to illuminate...

    Parity violating electron scattering can provide precise tests of the Standard Model. The Qweak experiment has made use of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility at Jefferson Lab to scatter polarized 1.1 GeV electron off a liquid hydrogen target in order to determine the weak charge of the proton. Our measurement of the parity violating asymmetry is the most precise among these type...

    Plenary talk

    This talk highlights recent ALICE measurements of the quark-gluon plasma with hard (high Q^2) probes. I will discuss studies of photons, hadrons, jets and heavy quarks in Pb-Pb collisions, delivered by the Large Hadron Collider, and contrast them to control measurements in pp and p-Pb collisions. These studies explore the microscopic nature of the quark-gluon plasma, constraining its opacity,...

    Higgs Physics
    Plenary talk

    With the milestone discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN LHC, high energy physics has entered a new era. The Higgs boson is the last member in the “Standard Model” (SM) of particle physics, which describes the physical phenomena at high energies to a very high accuracy. The completion of the Standard Model implies, for the first time ever, that we have a relativistic, quantum-mechanical,...

    Plenary talk

    Recent results of the Pierre Auger Observatory are going to be presented and the upgrade AugerPrime will be explained. A focus will be given on the recently published results on the arrival direction of the highest energetic cosmic rays which indicates the extragalactic origin of these particles. This result shed light on a 50-year puzzle regarding the origin of ultra-high energetic particles....

    Plenary talk

    One of the key goals of the ALICE experiment at the LHC is to study the properties of a deconfined state of matter known as the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this context, measurements of light flavour particles as well as of particle correlations play a central role in the characterization of the bulk properties of the QGP. In this talk, we...

    The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next‐generation very‐high‐energy (VHE)
    gamma ray observatory, with two arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes to
    be built in the next few years in La Palma (Spain) and Paranal (Chile). It will cover the
    energy range from 20 GeV to more than 300 TeV with a sensitivity up to one order of
    magnitude better than the successful H.E.S.S., MAGIC,...

    Hadron Spectroscopy
    Plenary talk

    The GlueX experiment in Hall D at Jefferson Lab consists of a well-instrumented photon beamline in conjunction with a solenoidal spectrometer providing near-hermetic coverage for charged particles and photons. Since 2016, the experiment has had several run periods with a 9 GeV linearly polarized photon beam on a liquid hydrogen target. We are steadily improving our understanding of the...
