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).

Non-Perturbative Methods in Quantum Field Theory | (smr 3320)
New deadline for applications not needing financial support and/or visa: 11 August
The workshop consists of a series of talks covering different complementary approaches to non-perturbative quantum field theories and includes plenty of discussion time. The goal is to bring together different communities working in closely related fields to stimulate exchange of ideas.
Topics:
3d Dualities
S-Matrix Bootstrap
Resurgence
T-Tbar Deformations
Hamiltonian Truncation
Lattice QFT

» Tenth Crete Regional Meeting in String Theory | (smr 3494)
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.
