Overview
The Gordon Research Seminar on Particle Physics is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.
The meeting will cover a wide range of topics. A key goal is to bring together young scientists working in theory and experiment at all frontiers of particle physics, ranging from the LHC and other future high energy colliders over precision and intensity frontier approaches to the increasingly important study of astroparticles and the early universe at the cosmic frontier. The meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for theorists and experimentalists to communicate with each other, inspire each other and form collaborations in the search for new physics and in the quest to answer long standing questions about the fundamental laws that govern our universe.
The meeting consists of four sessions. In addition, there will be an opportunity to present posters. There will be two dedicated poster sessions, and the posters will remain on display throughout the entire meeting. The four sessions are:

Opening session: Pushing the Frontiers of Particle Physics
The meeting will start with a keynote talk by Hitoshi Murayama (UC Berkeley and IMPU Tokyo). Afterwards there will be an open discussion and beers in the evening.

The "energy frontier": LHC and future colliders
This session will be devoted to the search for New Physics at the high energy frontier (LHC and future colliders). The meeting aims to bring together bright young minds from experiment and theory (model building as well as phenomenology) to foster a fruitful discussion about the potential to discover New Physics at colliders, including Dark Matter, Supersymmetry and other New Physics ideas that can be tested in high energy collisions.

|
The "intensity frontier": high intensity experiments, rare processes and precision tests
On the experimental side, the session will be devoted to high intensity experiments (e.g. fixed target experiments and neutrino experiments), searches for rare processes at low energy (such as neutrinoless double beta decay, lepton flavour violation, axion searches, indirect DM detection) and low energy precision tests (such as searches for dipole moments). On the theory side, the session will discuss models that can be tested in such experiments (hidden sector, neutrino mass models, axions, flavour models, DM and etc.).

|
• |
|
The "cosmic frontier" and the search for New Physics in outer space
The final session will be devoted to the connection between particle physics and cosmology and astrophysics. This includes the early universe (baryogenesis, DM production and etc.) and astroparticle physics (cosmic rays, indirect DM searches).
