CATCH22+2: Advanced Topics in Particle Physics and Cosmology - 2024-05-05

Explore cutting-edge topics in particle physics and cosmology through this comprehensive conference session from the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. Delve into discussions on the intersection of gravity and particle physics, primordial black holes, stochastic gravitational waves, and quantum gravity. Learn about new approaches to neutrino mass, beyond Standard Model physics, and Higgs couplings. Gain insights from leading experts as they present on subjects ranging from parton distribution functions to indirect constraints on new physics. Conclude with a state-of-the-art review of the field and participate in the closing session featuring competition results and prizes.
