The High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP) section at ICTP is studying some of the most exciting areas in physics today, from string theory to physics at large energy colliders, from neutrino phenomenology to alternative cosmologies.
HECAP collaborates closely with the staff of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), the Department of Theoretical Physics of Trieste University, and with the physicists of the Trieste section of the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN).

Summer School on Particle Physics | (smr 3300)
The goal of the school is to give a detailed overview of particle physics from the basics of Standard Model phenomenology to the most important areas where significant progress has been achieved recently. This year the school will cover both the energy and the intensity frontiers, including lectures on techniques for small scale experiments and on theoretical developments in high energy theory.
TOPICS & LECTURERS:
Standard Model and Flavor - Yuval Grossman (Cornell U.)
Neutrino - André Luiz De Gouvêa (Northwestern U.)
Collider Physics - Matthew Schwartz (Harvard U.)
Beyond the Standard Model - Matthew Philip McCullough (CERN)
Dark Matter - Tracy Slatyer (MIT)
Formal Developments in HEP - Matthew Reece (Harvard U.)
Fundamental Physics from The Precision Frontier - Robert Lasenby (Stanford U.)

New Pathways in Explorations of Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Gravity Beyond Supersymmetry | (smr 3340)
The workshop will cover novel methods developed to understand non-perturbative phenomena in quantum field theory and quantum gravity, in the non-supersymmetric realm. This includes the formulation of non-perturbative dualities in QFT and their application in condensed matter systems; the study of symmetries and their anomalies, including the most modern incarnations, in diverse dimensions; the analysis of aspects of the swampland, through the application of string theory to phenomenological and cosmological problems; the investigation of quantum information theoretic methods and their interplay with QFT concepts like causality, entanglement entropy, and so forth. There will be ample time left for discussion and the initiation of new collaborations.
In parallel, the School will pedagogically introduce some of the fundamental subjects that are useful in the exploration of non-perturbative phenomena in non-supersymmetric quantum field theories and quantum gravities. The School will be integrated with the Workshop in a novel way: there will be school lectures in the mornings, and a light load of workshop talks in the afternoons.
TOPICS:
Non-supersymmetric dualities
Generalized symmetries and anomalies
Swampland conjectures in quantum gravity
Quantum information and causality in QFT

» Joint ICTP-Trieste and ICTP-SAIFR School on Observational Cosmology | (smr 3305)
The HECAP section has research and visitors' programmes mostly aimed at scientists from developing countries.
The main motivation to study string theory is because it promises to provide a framework to unify all matter and interactions, including gravity, in a consistent theory. Despite the intrinsic difficulty of dealing with a theory that manifests itself at scales as high as the Planck mass, for more than 25 years there has been continuous progress in order to connect string theory and low-energy physics. This refers to extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics and cosmology that could lead to some observable implications.
