XLVII International Meeting on Fundamental Physics

3 Jun 2019, 09:00 → 7 Jun 2019, 19:00 Europe/Madrid

Centro Cultural Isabel de Farnesio, Aranjuez, Madrid (Spain)

The International Meeting on Fundamental Physics (IMFP) is the longest running conference organised by the Spanish High Energy Physics community, uninterruptedly held since 1973 in different Spanish locations. Its aim is to cover both theoretical and experimental aspects of collider, neutrino, astroparticle and cosmology experiments.

The meeting includes invited talks and short courses aimed at quickly introducing research topics. 

After the previous edition (IMFP18) in Salamanca, the XLVII IMFP will take place in Aranjuez, 3-7 June 2019. It will be organised by IPARCOS (Instituto de Física de Partículas y del Cosmos, including members from the high energy group and the effective theories in modern physics group of Universidad Complutense de Madrid) and CIEMAT (Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas).

Early registration extended till May 3rd 2019.

The first scientific session will begin on Monday June 3rd at 15:00 (check the schedule here). You may check in on Monday morning from 11:30 to 13:30.  

On Thursday 6th, we are organizing a poster session. Young researchers will participate and present their works.

You may find the Conference poster in this link.

17:45 Determining the strong running coupling at $Z_0$-mass from lattice QCD with physical quark masses (F. de Soto Borreo)

(25'+5')

The non-renormalization of the ghost-gluon vertex offers a precise recipe to determine the running of $\alpha_s$ from gluon and ghost propagators in lattice-QCD (in the Taylor renormalization scheme). A non-perturvative analysis of this running allows obtaining $\Lambda_{\rm \overline{MS}}$ which determines the value of the coupling at the $Z_0$-pole mass, $\alpha_{\rm \overline{MS}}(m_Z^2)$.

In this work, we exploit lattice QCD configurations using Domain-Wall fermions at the physical pion mass to compute $\alpha_T(q²)$. Besides the relevance of this parameter in many computations for hadron collider physics (Its current uncertainty of about 1% renders it the least precisely known of all fundamental coupling constants in nature), the Taylor-scheme strong coupling
has been revealed of great interest by itself because it can be directly related to the quark-gluon interaction kernel in continuum approaches to the QCD bound-state problem.

12:45 Time reversal violating NN interactions (V. Gudkov)

(25'+5')

The detailed structure of parity violating (P-odd) and time reversal invariance violating (TRIV) nucleon-nucleon interactions is discussed. We consider three possible interactions: P-violating, TRIV and P-odd, and TRIV and P-even ones, using both a meson exchange formalism, and EFT formalism, and their possible manifestations in different experiments including neutron and atomic EDMs, and nuclear reactions. The comparison of these interactions show some possible advantages of the search for TRI violation in neutron nuclei interactions.

Speaker: Vladimir Gudkov (University of South Carolina)

13:15 → 13:30 String cosmology

13:15 Stability of string cosmology near space-time singularities

Using the method of asymptotic splittings we provide a detailed analysis of the early- and late-time asymptotics of a wide range of possible homogeneous string cosmologies. These contain moduli, axion as well as shifted dilaton fields. A complete portrait of all possible asymptotic solutions in regions where some of the fields blow up is given, and the early- and late-time dynamics of spatially flat FRW solutions is explained and compared to those known in standard relativistic cosmology. Our results provide a novel picture concerning the stability of the dilaton-moduli-vacuum and the dilaton-vacuum solutions of string cosmology near cosmological singularities.

09:00 → 09:30 Flavour

09:00 Are we overlooking Lepton Flavour Universal New Physics in $b \to s \ell \ell$? (P. Masjuan)

(25'+5')

The deviations with respect to the Standard Model that are currently observed in flavour anomalies can be interpreted in terms of different New Physics (NP) scenarios within a model-independent effective approach. We examine the roles played by LFUV NP and Lepton-Flavour Universal (LFU) NP altogether, providing new directions to identify the possible theory beyond the SM responsible for the anomalies observed. New patterns of NP emerge due to the possibility of allowing at the same time large LFUV and LFU NP contributions to $\C{10\mu}$, which provides a different mechanism to obey the constraint from the $B_s \to\mu^+\mu^-$ branching ratio. In this landscape of NP, we discuss how to discriminate among these scenarios in the short term thanks to current and forthcoming observables.
