Sixth Nuclear and Particle Theory Meeting

May 15-17, 2024

Nuclear Theory for New Physics

Second Collaboration Meeting

The Washington University in St. Louis Department of Physics and the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences invite you to the Nuclear Theory for New Physics (NTNP) collaboration meeting. The mission of the NTNP Topical Collaboration is to address outstanding theoretical questions related to the "targeted program of fundamental symmetries and neutrino research that opens new doors to physics beyond the Standard Model.” This meeting is generously sponsored by the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences and The Department of EnergyOffice of ScienceOffice of Nuclear Physics and the Office of High Energy Physics through the Neutrino Theory Network.

This initiative will also be beneficial to local post-docs and students as they will be exposed to the current research programs. The meeting will be held on the Dathrough the Neutrino Theory Network.nforth Campus at Washington University in St. Louis.

Organizers: Saori Pastore and Maria Piarulli

Program

All talks will be held in Compton 241 within the Department of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis. The talks will be 30 minutes long with 15 minutes allocated for discussions and follow up questions.

All times are Central Daylight Time (CDT), i.e. GMT-5
All lunches and coffee breaks will be served in Compton 245
