Xth International Conference on the Interconnection between Particle Physics and Cosmology (PPC 2016)
July 11-15, 2016
São Paulo, Brazil
ICTP-SAIFR / IFT-UNESP
Announcement: PPC 2017
Description:
The goal of PPC is to bring together experts in the fields of Particle Physics and Cosmology, and stress the connection between the two fields. Advances in high-energy physics can have an impact on our understanding of the physics of the early universe, possibly shedding light on the era of inflation, the identity of dark matter and/or dark energy, the origin of the observed baryon abundance, the importance of neutrinos in the evolution of our universe, and how the large scale structures of the universe arose. Conversely, information from such diverse fields can impact the directions in particle physics model building and can motivate specific types of searches in high-energy physics experiments. The latest results from various ongoing experiments will be discussed along with theoretical interpretations and predictions for the upcoming experiments. We will provide a lively venue for the exchange of scientific ideas among experts in these areas. There is no registration fee.
In order to have an idea of the former workshops, please access PPC past conferences

Vencedores recebem prêmio IFT/ICTP para Jovens Físicos 2014
O prêmio IFT/ICTP para Jovens Físicos 2014 foi entregue no dia 9 de março em cerimônia realizada no auditório do instituto. A competição premia os 5 melhores colocados em uma prova de física, elaborada por pesquisadores do IFT, que aborda temas como mecânica clássica, mecânica quântica, mecânica estatística e termodinâmica, eletromagnetismo, relatividade especial e física matemática. O teste foi realizado em novembro de 2014 e contou com a inscrição de 61 alunos de idade igual ou inferior a 21 anos.
“Em minha iniciação científica, trabalhei com temas de relatividade geral e gravitação quântica“, diz Rodrigo Andrade e Silva, aluno de física da USP – São Carlos e primeiro lugar do prêmio. Rodrigo fez 49,5 pontos de um total de 60 e teve a maior nota de todas as edições da competição. “Pretendo continuar estudando esses temas no mestrado e seguir carreira acadêmica“.
Já Rodrigo Voivodic, aluno da USP – São Paulo e segundo lugar do Prêmio em dois anos consecutivos, se interessa pela área de Cosmologia. “Também pretendo trabalhar com gravitação quântica no mestrado e continuar na área acadêmica”.
Os demais vencedores dessa edição foram: Guilherme Andretta Faustino (Unicamp), Caique Meira Ronqui (USP – São Paulo) e Anderson Seigo Misobuchi (USP -São Paulo).
O Prêmio IFT/ICTP para Jovens Físicos é realizado todos os anos pela Unesp e incentiva alunos de graduação e pós-graduação a seguirem estudando e pesquisando em áreas de física. Mais informações podem ser encontradas no site do ICTP.

Description:
The goal of the workshop is to address crucial questions in the field, as well as to build new collaborative relationships – and strengthening existing ones – focused on the interpretation of gravitational wave (GW) observations using electromagnetic astrophysics as a tool of astronomical discovery and a probe of the fundamental physics of gravity. The new information obtained from current or future electromagnetic and GW observations provides an opportunity to challenge and refine theoretical models of the growth of massive black holes and the environments in galactic nuclei and other dense clusters. Refinements in these models will have direct consequences for the expected science that can be done with GW observatories. This workshop will tie observations and theoretical models to future gravitational-wave and electromagnetic observations.
The workshop will address the following subjects:
1. Astrophysical environments which allow black holes to form, grow, collide, and merge, the determination of their electromagnetic counterparts for multi-messenger astrophysics covering electromagnetic and gravitational radiation.
2. Dynamics of galactic nuclei: Impact on massive black hole growth and distribution of stars around them, creation of X-ray/UV flares by stellar tidal disruptions and formation of gravitational wave sources, for ground and space-borne detectors.
3. The formation of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters and the interplay with the stellar environment: ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULRX), capture of compact objects by the IMBH, “intermediate-mass ratio inspirals” (IMRIs), and the creation of IMBH binaries as a powerful source of GWs for ground- and space-borne detectors.
4. Gravitational wave detections from ground-based observatories will open a new window on the astrophysics of binary systems containing black hole from a few to a few hundred solar masses. Waveform modelling is sufficiently accurate to enable the reconstruction of the precessional dynamics allowing to determine, for instance, if tidal interactions or mass ratio reversal play a role in binary system formation.
The School on Gravitational Waves: from data to theory and back precedes this workshop. Candidates may apply either for one or both activities.
