SAGEX PhD School in Amplitudes, 2021

9 Aug 2021, 09:00 → 13 Aug 2021, 17:30 Europe/Copenhagen

The Amplitudes 2021 school will be held at the Niels Bohr International Academy at the University of Copenhagen from 9-13 August 2021, and will precede the Amplitudes 2021 conference. The content of the school will aim to be accessible to PhD students at all levels of their studies.


Topics & lecturers:

• Amplituhedron and positive geometries: Livia Ferro, Tomasz Lukowski
• Celestial amplitudes: Sabrina Pasterski
• Post-Minkowskian gravity from scattering amplitudes: Chia-Hsien Shen
• QCD phenomenology and scattering amplitudes: Kai Yan

COVID-19: Due to the COVID-19 situation, the school will take place entirely virtually.
