Europe/Rome Abstract. For simplicity, experimental dark matter (DM) direct detection exclusion curves in the literature are almost always calculated by assuming a naive Standard Halo Model (SHM) expectation for the Milky Way (MW) DM halo. There have been a number of attempts that have tried to go beyond the SHM and assess the impact of astrophysical uncertainties on DM direct detection experiments. Most of these attempts have examined the impact of an uncertain local dark matter density which results in a trivial re-scaling of the exclusion curves. Others have attempted to look at the effect of the DM velocities via changes in the local DM escape speed and the local DM velocity dispersion, or have tried to incorporate the local DM velocity distribution but have mainly restricted to ansatzes or simulations. We claim that the right approach should be to use an observationally inferred determination, along with the related uncertainties, of the local DM phase-space in a self- consistent manner. In this talk, I will present a detailed look at this fundamentally important element of DM detection results. We start by constructing the MW DM rotation curves and end with re-estimates of the direct detection DM exclusion limits. On the way, we present the tightest constraint on local DM density till date.

Europe/Rome Abstract. A local and gauge invariant gauge field model including Nambu - Jona-Lasinio (NJL) and QCD Lagrangian terms in its action is introduced. Surprisingly, it becomes power counting renormalizable. This occurs thanks to the presence of action terms which modify the quark propagators, to become more decreasing that the Dirac one at large momenta in a Lee-Wick form, implying power counting renormalizability. The appearance of finite quark masses already in the tree approximation in the scheme is determined by the fact that the new action terms explicitly break chiral invariance. In this starting work we present the renormalized Feynman diagram expansion of the model and derive the formula for the degree of divergence of the diagrams. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome Prof. J. Dalibard heads an experimental research group at CNRS-ENS and Collège de France, Paris. Pioneering recent achievements include the first observation of a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in 2D Bose gases and studies of vortex dynamics in rotating condensates. Early in his career, J. Dalibard was responsible for key theoretical ideas in laser cooling and trapping, including polarization gradient cooling and the Magneto-optical Trap (MOT), and thus provides in his present work the link between theoretical and experimental quantum optics. He has also pioneered theoretical methods to solve the dynamics of open quantum systems utilizing quantum trajectories. Among his honors we can find the Pascal Medal of the European Academy of Science (2009), the Max Born Medal of the American Optical Society (2012), the Davisson–Germer Prize of the American Physical Society (2012), the Senior BEC award (2017), and his fellowships in the European Academy of Science, the Optical Society of America and the American Philosophical Society. Abstract: The physics of many-body systems strongly depends on their dimensionality. For example, in a two-dimensional world, most standard phase transitions towards an ordered state of matter would not occur, because of the increased role of fluctuations. However non-conventional "topological" transitions can still take place, as understood initially by Kosterlitz and Thouless. During the last decade, a novel environment has been developed for the study of low-dimensional physics. It consists of cold atomic gases confined in tailor-made light traps, forming thus a thin layer of material particles. In this talk I will present some key aspects of these quantum 2D gases, such as their transition to a superfluid state and their (approximate) scale invariance. I will also discuss out-of-equilibrium features, like the nucleation of random currents when merging independent samples. The event will be livestreamed from the ICTP website.

Europe/Rome Conditions for applying in this School: Selected candidates will be expected to actively engage in the programme and present a 20' minute talk (with a time for discussion and questions included) describing own or own group's research summarizing important or recent results on wasteform, spent fuel or nuclear materials of relevance to immobilization studies. Participants are encouraged to set their work in the context of their own national waste management strategy and should first give a brief overview of the types of waste produced and managed in her/his country, and then a current status of waste conditioning and disposal practice (both by means of one or two summary slides). SCHOOL DESCRIPTION: Nuclear waste management is a core issue for sustainable development and long-term viability of nuclear energy as energy supply. The main goal of this school is the dissemination of knowledge on optimal methods of synthesis and study of crystalline and glass-crystalline wasteforms for the immobilization of actinides and other long-lived dangerous radionuclides. It aims on transferring experience of ceramic and glass-composite materials fabrication from leading experts to specialists interested in reliable immobilization of toxic nuclides. Directors: Michael I. Ojovan (IAEA), Boris E. Burakov (Radium Institute), Local Organiser: Antonello Scardicchio Description: The school will bring together researchers from the area of materials science with a focus on crystalline and vitreous materials for nuclear energy. The school will assist experts to better understand the wide range and full potential of material science applied to radioactive waste immobilisation and technology tools and methods devoted to immobilisation and properties of crystalline and glass-crystalline materials. Knowledge transfer will be facilitated between individuals from developed and developing countries, and can be used to develop further the internationally sponsored development of nuclear waste immobilisation using crystalline and glass-crystalline wasteforms. Participants should return from the school with a richer understanding of actinide immobilization technologies and the range of techniques to investigate actinide-containing materials. Topics: Fundamentals of actinide immobilization; Radiation damage effects in actinide-doped crystalline materials and glasses; Leach behaviour of actinide-doped ceramics and glasses; Advanced materials based on durable actinide host-phases; New types of Pu fuel and targets for actinide transmutation; Interaction of actinide wastes and geological environment; Modelling of actinide migration in geological environment; Actinide behaviour during severe nuclear accident (Chernobyl, Fukushima, etc.) and nuclear tests.

Europe/Rome Electrocatalytic conversion of biomass derived feedstocks offers a promising avenue for effective carbon recycling from renewable energy resources. To retain economic viability of this target technology, rational design of electrocatalysts with high activity and selectivity towards producing value-added chemicals and fuels is necessary. For improved conversion of biomass resources to fuels and fine chemicals, understanding and controlling the aqueous-phase catalytic hydrogenation of organic compounds on metals is crucial. Unlike gas-phase hydrogenation, the presence of water and the solid/liquid interface play critical roles in catalysis. Although there have been extensive studies in electrocatalysis, there exists a lack of mechanistic exploration and molecular-level understanding of electrocatalytic conversion of organic compounds specifically pertaining to biomass feedstocks. Moreover, these reactions occur at the solvated electrode-electrolyte interface where complex interactions between the electrode and solvent molecules have a critical influence on the reaction chemistry. In this talk, I will address the effect of the solvent and the charged metal electrode on the reaction pathways and their capacity to undergo reduction/hydrogenation. Results of molecular-scale structural/electronic properties near the electrochemical interface and the reaction energetics of target organic compounds obtained from density-functional-theory(DFT) based ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations will be presented. The inferences drawn will be used to postulate design criteria for electrocatalytic conversion of organic compounds from an experimental and theoretical perspective. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome We report a new mechanism to generate dissipative steady state entanglement in coupled qubits driven by strong periodic fields. We demonstrate that steady entanglement can be induced and tuned by changing the amplitude of the driving field. A rich dynamic behavior with {\it creation, death and revival} of entanglement can be observed near multiphoton resonances. Coupled superconducting qubits are good candidates for the observation of these effects. Please see paper in arXiv:1806.09047 ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome DEADLINE FOR ONLINE APPLICATIONS: September 1st, 2018 (click on "Apply here" in the left side of this page) West African climate is characterized by complex atmospheric dynamics and growing anthropogenic pressures. These pressures, combined with climate change and variability, have many environmental impacts. Regional climate models include now capabilities such as interactive coupling with oceans, surface hydrology, atmospheric chemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Combined with process study and observation analysis, such systems are interesting frameworks for impact assessments over West Africa. However their complexity is such that they require high computing power and appropriate “know-how”. This point has motivated the recent development of a supercomputing center at the University of Abidjan. In this context, the school proposes theoretical and practical computing sessions on regional climate and environmental modeling. It is co-organized with the final conference of the DACCIWA project (https://www.dacciwa.eu/) so that participants can benefit from both of these events. Participants are required to have a pre-existing background in Atmospheric / Earth system science and be familiar with Linux/Unix environment. English will be the spoken language during theoretical and practical sessions. Topics: Basis of regional climate and Earth System modeling Examples of climate and Earth system studies over sub-Saharan Africa Extensive hands-on regional climate and Earth system modeling sessions using HPC facilities Review and discussion of on-going projects involving climate and Earth system modeling over sub-Saharan Africa Beyond the school : Identification of regional working groups, projects and networks Abidjan - Cote d'Ivoire ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome DEADLINE FOR APPLICATONS: 15 JULY 2018 Director: Teketel YOHANNES, AASTU, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia ICTP Contacts: Ralph GEBAUER & Nicola SERIANI, ICTP, Trieste, Italy The Workshop addresses students and researchers working in the field of solar energy and energy storage. The event will focus on fundamental and applied research on functional materials, on devices and on their application. To cope with increasing global energy demand, solar energy is one of the best alternatives. The feasibility of solar energy technology in Africa, where the sun is available throughout the year, is not questionable. This huge energy can be used as photo-thermal and in photovoltaic forms. For efficient conversion of solar energy it is very important to have a clear understanding of the photo-physical and opto-electrical properties of materials. In parallel with the development of photovoltaic devices, due attention has to be given to the storage of electrical energy in easily portable chemical energy forms and/or in an electrical field. Since solar energy is collected only in the day time, it is also wise to develop alternative technologies such as storage for renewable energy forms. Please note that funds from the Joint Undertaking for an African Materials Institute (JUAMI) are also available for US students. TOPICS: Current photovoltaic systems, new technologies; Promise of nanostructures and technology in this field; Wind and geothermal energy: potential and installations in Ethiopia; Energy storage: fuel cells, batteries and supercapacitors; Importance of materials science, experimental and computational approach; Renewable energy potentials in the region.

Europe/Rome The workshop introduces young and established nuclear scientists to the evaluation of nuclear structure and decay data, by providing an overview of experimental and theoretical nuclear techniques and basic training in the evaluation procedures and formats involved in the production of the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF). Reliable evaluated nuclear structure and decay data are of vital importance for basic nuclear physics and astrophysics, as well as for nuclear applications such as power generation, material analysis, dosimetry and medical diagnostics. These important data requirements are catered by the international network of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data (NSDD) Evaluators, created in 1974 and coordinated by the IAEA. The main output of this network is the recommended ENSDF database and evaluations published in Nuclear Data Sheets. This workshop belongs to a series of ICTP workshops that started in 2003 and have been crucial for attracting young nuclear scientists to nuclear structure and decay data evaluation and for providing them with the basic tools to pursue this activity. TOPICS: modern nuclear experimental techniques & facilities; nuclear structure models; nuclear structure and decay data: compilations and evaluations; evaluation methodologies for nuclear structure and decay data; analysis and utility codes; ENSDF editors and Web tools; databases and online retrieval software.

Europe/Rome School on Mathematical Models of Evolution January 21 – 26, 2019 Although new experimental technology is partly responsible for the current revolution in biological research, theoretical models developed by physicists are also playing an important role in changing the way biological research is being performed. The number of theoretical physicists and applied mathematicians migrating into biology has dramatically increased throughout the world, but South America still lags behind. The one-week school on mathematical models on evolution, co-organized with the ICTP-SAIFR, UNESP, FAPESP and IFT-UNESP, will feature lectures by physicists and applied biologists who have made important contributions to this area of biological research. The school is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the physical and biological sciences. This activity will be preceded by the ‘VIII Southern-Summer School on Mathematical Biology’. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools, and preference will be given to PhD students in South America. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses. Lecturers and courses: Population genetics and evolution – Luca Peliti (SMRI, Italy) Understanding how genetic information is transmitted across generations is at the basis of evolutionary theory. This course will review the mechanisms of reproduction, selection, mutation and drift and will be the backbone for the more specific courses below. Evolution of individuality – Paul Rainey (IAS – Massey University, New Zeland) The origins of multicellularity and cell differentiation are profound problems in biology. Overview of theory and recent experiments. The evolution of immune systems – Curtis Callan (Princeton University, USA) The immune system has the ability to respond to arbitrary pathogens. Using samples from mice it has been possible to track the evolution of the immune system from embryo to adult, revealing surprising differences between species. Ecology and evolution of viruses – Joshua Weitz (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA) Viruses shape the fate of cells, populations, and ecosystems. These lectures will provide an overview of the nonlinear dynamics of viruses and their microbial hosts, including theory, models, and evidence for the joint influence of population and evolutionary dynamics.

Europe/Rome The aim of the Winter College is to offer Ph.D. students and other emerging researchers broad training in the innovative applications of optics and photonics in food and agriculture. Deriving impact through research, development and entrepreneurship in this sector will be explored. Improving food, from production to processing, is one of the most important and successful contributions of modern optical and photonic innovations. Optical sensing and spectroscopy discoveries have provided huge advances in all areas, from identifying nutritional components, to uncovering contamination by adulterants and pathogens. Tailored light and light-based technologies also are used to better grow plants, purify water, kill pathogens, hatch eggs, and sort sperm and oocytes for herd control. The keen interest in photonics for food and agriculture is global and rapidly growing – a future with smart optics and photonics will succeed in feeding the world’s people sustainably. In addition to lectures, there will be tutorials and hands-on activities. An ICTP PREPARATORY SCHOOL will be organized the week before the College (from 4 - 8 February 2019) for a limited number of selected participants: http://indico.ictp.it/event/8642/ COLLEGE’S TOPICS: - Optical sensing and spectroscopic analysis, including hyperspectral methods. - Remote sensing and imaging – fundamentals and applications for precision agriculture. - Advanced vibrational spectrocopy including Raman scattering and IR absorption, SERS, low frequency Raman and imaging. - Understanding OCT and laser vibrometery. - Linear and nonlinear optical methods for sensing - Photonics and farming the oceans - Photonic advances driving the future of sustainable farming. - Solutions-focused photonics R&D with real impact beyond the research lab. - Low-cost spectroscopy for consumer use and limited resource settings - Photonics for application to packaging - Low-cost spectroscopy for consumer use and limited resource settings - Photonics for application to packaging DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS SUBMISSION: 21 OCTOBER 2018 ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome CALL FOR APPLICATIONS OPENING SOON ICTP and SISSA, in collaboration with the partner institutions of the International Master Course in Physics of Complex Systems organize the Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems from 25 February to 22 March 2019. Many complex systems in physics, biology, engineering and economics are characterized by a large number of interacting degrees of freedom giving rise to a non-trivial collective behavior. The theoretical and computational tools for a quantitative analysis of complex systems are often rooted in modern (statistical, quantum) physics. The Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems gives students the opportunity to get in touch with a selection of topics at the forefront of research during an intensive 4-week program. It consists of 5 courses of 9 lectures each, followed by final written tests. Lecturers and Courses: Deepak DHAR (TIFR, Mumbai, India) Self-Organized Criticality Henri ORLAND (CEA, France) Electrostatic Interactions in Soft and Biological Matter Shahin ROUHANI (Sharif U., Tehran, Iran) Statistical Mechanics of Two Dimensional Critical Curves Mukund THATTAI (NCBS, Bangalore, India) Randomness in Biology Bence TOTH (Capital Fund Management, Paris, France) Elements of Quantitative Finance Students and young researchers from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may apply for the College. Candidates are required to solicit recommendation letters to be sent by their supervisors in support of their application. Participants should have an adequate working knowledge of English. As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne by their home institutions. However, limited funds are available to partially support some participants, who are nationals of, and working in, a developing country, and who are not more than 45 years old. Such support is limited and candidates should make every effort to secure support for their travel, at least partial. Attendance of lectures and completion of the final written tests are mandatory for those who are granted ICTP funding. There is no registration fee. RULES FOR PARTICIPATION Participants with financial support from the ICTP and Master PCS students are required to attend at least 80% of the courses. Attendance is monitored regularly. Taking the final exam for each course is mandatory for participants with financial support from the ICTP and Master PCS students. Grading system: Each course will be graded on a scale from 0 to 20. Marks higher than 10 correspond to pass. A final grade will be given for the overall Spring College with the following scale: E- Excellent - 5 exams passed A- Very Good - 4 exams passed B- Good - 3 exams passed C- Sufficient - 2 exams passed F- Fail - 1 or no exams passed The overall grade of participants will be published on the Spring College webpage. Certificates of attendance will be awarded only to participants who have attended at least 80% of the courses, with no exception. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it
