QCD axions as dark matter and their potential detection by gravitational microlensing Jordi Miralda Escudé es ICREA Professor of Astrophysics Institut de Ciències del Cosmos Abstract:The most distant single stars we have observed are in cases of extreme gravitational lensing magnification, when the source star crosses a lensing caustic of a cluster of galaxies that […]
Lecturer: Farida Fassi, Mohammed V University in Rabat, Faculty of Sciences. Morocco Abstract: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the largest and most complex machine ever built will extend the frontiers of particle physics with its unprecedented high energy and luminosity. The ATLAS experiment is the largest particle detector at LHC, targets to detect
Lecturer: Farida Fassi, Mohammed V University in Rabat, Faculty of Sciences. Morocco Abstract: The last few decades have witnessed the creation of Big Data that has revolutionised the knowledge outcomes within and beyond multi-disciplinary science, enabling novel highly efficient ways to plan, conduct, disseminate and assess research. Global research projects demonstrate what humankind is able
Antoine Kouchner , Laboratoire Astroparticule et Cosmologie (APC) Paris, is the ANTARES experiment spokesperson Abstract: Messengers of the infinitely small, neutrinos provide us with valuable insights into the fundamental laws of physics. Messengers of the infinitely large, traveling on cosmological distances, they are privileged probes of cataclysmic astrophysical phenomena. Neutrino Telescopes, buried deep in the
Lecturer: Andrés del Pino Molina. Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón (CEFCA). Astrophysics researcher with a strong computational and statistic background. Interested in resolved stellar populations, galaxies dynamics, and star formation Abstract: The Milky Way system (MW) harbors dozens of known dwarf galaxies. Some of these systems have been studied for decades,

Georg G. Raffelt, Max-Planck-Institut für Physik. His research is in the areas of theoretical astroparticle physics and cosmology. In particular, it revolves around weakly interacting particles (neutrinos, the hypothetical axion, or weakly interacting dark matter candidates), their role in astrophysics and cosmology.
Miguel Á. Pérez Torres, research scientist at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC, Granada, Spain) and collaborator of the DFTUZ Abstract The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project is an international effort to build the world’s largest radio telescope. The SKA is expected to conduct transformational science to improve our understanding of the Universe and
Lecturer: Jacobo Varela Rodríguez (Universidad Carlos III, Madrid) Abstract: This presentation discusses synergies between different plasma physics fields, emphasising in the astrophysical plasmas. In particular, exoplanet habitability is a hot topic in the scientific community, devoted to developing new observational as well as numerical models dedicated to analyzing the exoplanet environment. In the last decade,
Cherenkov telescopes are instruments optimized for detection of very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma rays from astrophysics sources. They play a crucial role in testing possible consequences of Quantum Gravity (QG), such as violation or deformation of Lorentz symmetry. In both cases, the photon dispersion relation is modified, making the photon group
