Probing Lorentz Invariance Violation with energy-resolved gamma-ray burst timing Lecturer: Wladimiro Leone, University of Palermo (Italy) Abstract: Quantum gravity theories suggest that, at energies close to the Planck scale, the structure of space-time may deviate from the smooth picture described by general relativity. One possible observational signature is a tiny energy-dependent delay in the arrival […]
Particle physics and astrophysics with high-energy cosmic neutrinos Lecturer: Mauricio Bustamante, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen Abstract: High-energy cosmic neutrinos offer vast potential to test both particle physics and astrophysics. Discovered by IceCube, these neutrinos boast the highest detected energies—reaching 10^{15} eV—and travel gigaparsec distances, the size of the observable Universe. These extreme baselines
From April 8 to 15, Zaragoza will host the COMCHA School, bringing together cutting-edge expertise in computing for the next decade. The program features dedicated lectures on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, programming on advanced accelerator platforms such as GPUs and FPGAs, real-time computing, event generation and simulation, differentiable programming, computing infrastructures, and sustainability. In
Lecturer: Rubén López Coto (IAA-CSIC). Scientific coordinator of the CTAO consortium Abstract: Our galaxy is filled with cosmic rays -particles traveling at nearly the speed of light through intergalactic magnetic turbulence. We generally understand how these particles gain energy, but a major mystery remains: How do some of them reach extreme ‘PeV’ energy levels in
Lecturer: Nahuel Ferreiro Lachellini (Max Planck Institute for Physics) Abstract: Cryogenic underground observatories based on transition-edge sensors (TES) provide a powerful and versatile platform for astroparticle physics, combining low energy thresholds, excellent energy resolution, and intrinsically low-background operation in deep underground environments. The RES-NOVA project exemplifies this approach through the deployment of PbWO₄ crystals grown
New talk in the Master’s in Physics of the Universe seminar series, Dark matter searches with fixed target experiments by Laura Molina Bueno (IFIC, Valencia) Abstract: Dark Matter is among the most pressing questions in particle physics. In this seminar, I will cover the potential of fixed target experiments to probe the Dark Matter origin
Hybrid quantum circuits : from atomic physics on a chip to quantum enhanced detection of dark matter Lecturer: Takis Kontos, Laboratoire de Physique de l’Ecole Normale Supérieure/Laboratoire de Physique et d’Etude des Matériaux, ESPCI/ Institute of Astrophysics IA-FORTH Abstract: In this talk, I will show how hybrid quantum circuits can be used to follow three

Pérez Torres (Investigador científico del IAA-CSIC ) Abstract: In this talk, I trace the evolution of radio astronomy from its origins in the 1930s to the new
Giovanni Pierobon is a researcher in New South Wales U., Sydney, Australia. Title: The role of simulations in the direct detection of axion dark matter Abstract: In this talk we will assess to detectability of axion dark matter in the post-inflationary scenario. We will focus on the QCD axion, a one parameter model introduced by
Searching for sub-GeV particle dark matter with Spherical Proportional Counters The NEWS-G collaboration is searching for light dark matter using spherical proportional counters. Access to 50 MeV to 10 GeV mass range is enabled by the combination of single electron threshold, light gaseous targets (H, He, Ne), and highly radio-pure detector construction. Most recently, new
