When?

September, 22nd-27th, 2024

Where?

Calaserena Resort, Geremeas, Sardinia (Italy)

Electroweak Physics InterseCtions — EPIC 2024 is the first workshop dedicated to precision electroweak physics, which is one of the main avenues to test predictions of the standard model, extract its fundamental parameters and look for signals of physics beyond the standard model.

EPIC2024 will be held in the beautiful location of Calaserena Village, near Cagliari, from 22nd to 27th of September 2024.

Scientific topics to be discussed

We identify the following topics that are at the intersection of the forefront of precision electroweak and nuclear physics:

  • Precision tests of the Standard Model and beyond with atomic nuclei
  • Lepton- and Neutrino-Nucleus interactions
  • Nuclear matter across energy scales and multi-messenger astronomy

The atomic, nuclear, particle and astrophysics communities often work separately. This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together representative groups of these research fields, with a good mix of theorists and experimentalists, and create an exciting context for them to interact in order to recognize intersections, foster connections, and seek possibilities to guide the planning of future experimental programs.

Given the interdisciplinary nature of the workshop and the expected participation of PhD students and young researchers, we also organise a one-day pre-workshop school to be held the 22nd of September (arrival expected on the 21st of September). This will be made up of three lectures that should help students get acquainted with the material. The lectures will be on precision physics with atoms, neutrino physics, and nuclear Equation of States in the multimessenger era. Students will also participate in the workshop with a poster and a short focused talk. Two prizes for the best poster and the best talk will be assigned at the end of the workshop.
