Abstract: The discovery of the Higgs boson has validated our understanding of Standard Model interactions, and completed the Standard Model particle content. Nevertheless, a lot of questions remain: is the observed Higgs boson the particle predicted in the Standard Model? What is the form of the Higgs potential? Why is the Higgs boson so light? What generates the patterns in fermion properties? After a quick review of what has been learned so far, prospects for Higgs boson measurements at HL-LHC will…

Abstract: We explore the possibility of having a long period of cosmological supercooling at the Electroweak phase transition. We study conditions for supercooling to happen, as long as cosmological implications of this scenario.

Abstract: In comparison to photon radiotherapy, proton beam radiotherapy generally results in a lower radiation dose to normal tissue, reducing long-term complications and increasing the quality of life of patients. However, the dose distribution delivered during proton therapy is quit e sensitive to anatomical changes in the patient, proton range uncertainties and treatment errors. Because of this, several techniques for in-vivo dose delivery verification have and are being developed. We are…

Abstract: The absence of BSM signals at the LHC forces us to rethink our current paradigms about new physics and prompts for new searches. The objective of this mini-workshop will be to review various probes at different energy scales: low energy measurements, EDM, neutron-antineutron oscillation, atomic spectroscopy, table top experiments for search for light DM, fixed-target experiments, future colliders, astrophysics probes (neutron star mergers), cosmological probes (GW stochastic background) and get…

Abstract: General relativity is expected to break down at the so-called Planck length, to be replaced with some theory of quantum gravity. String theory, our best candidate for a quantum theory of gravity, appears to lead to a huge number of effective theories as its possible low-energy limits, the so-called Landscape. This has led to the idea that perhaps any apparently consistent effective field theory can arise as a low energy limit of string theory, making it completely un-predictive. In this talk, I…

Abstract: We announce that the 17th Russbach School on Nuclear Astrophysics will again take place at the village of Rußbach am Paß Gschütt, southeast of Salzburg, Austria. The school dates will be from March 15 (arrival and registration) to March 21 (departure) 2020. This school belongs to the European Network of Nuclear Astrophysics Schools (ENNAS). We shall limit the number of participants to about 60 to ensure a convivial atmosphere, and the possibility to share dinners between all participants. In…

Abstract: The study of the dynamic Universe on all astronomical scales allows us to pinpoint the underlying physical processes that not only lead to the formation of stars and planets from the turbulent interstellar medium, but also determine the structure of the Universe on the largest observable scales. The meeting is organised in honour of Professor Andi Burkert and to celebrate his 60th birthday. The workshop highlights the various dynamical processes covered by Andi's work and brings together…
