ICTP-SAIFR

First Joint ICTP-Trieste/ICTP-SAIFR School on Particle Physics   June 18-29, 2018 São Paulo, Brazil ICTP-SAIFR/IFT-UNESP In 2018, Run II of the LHC will be well under way, and it will be important to assess what has been learned, as well as to discuss the directions in which the field might move in the near-term and medium-term future. The school will therefore be largely focused on LHC Physics, but without forgetting other...

Start time: May 22, 2017 Ends on: May 27, 2017 Location: São Paulo, Brazil Venue: IFT-UNESP Description: The first ICTP-SAIFR-Simons Non-perturbative Bootstrap school will center on three six-hour lecture series. The first will present a broad overview of the space of conformal field theories, including a discussion of the role of CFTs in condensed matter and high energy physics. Topics covered may include large N methods, the epsilon expansion, conformal windows for gauge theories...

Start time: April 18, 2017 Ends on: April 21, 2017 Location: São Paulo, Brazil Venue: IFT-UNESP Description: The workshop will focus on several aspects of non-linear phenomena in field theory, in particular on the properties of solitons. Topics will include both the mathematical structures of these systems, such as (classical) integrability and duality, and also applications of these systems to different branches of science using numerical techniques. We will also honour the important contributions of Prof. Dr....

Start time: March 27, 2017 Ends on: April 7, 2017 Location: São Paulo, Brazil Venue: IFT-UNESP Description: This school will provide students with a panorama of current theoretical problems in condensed matter systems and the tools used to attack them, with a special emphasis on holographic techniques. The first week of the school will contain introductory lectures to GR, AdS/CMT, and effective field theories, setting the foundation for the lectures of the second week on...

Start time: March 13, 2017Ends on: March 24, 2017 Location: São Paulo, Brazil Venue: IFT-UNESP Description: This school will compare different modern approaches to soft matter and describe up-to-date results on both fundamental and applied research. Topics on the frontier of molecular biology research such as nucleic acids and their interactions will also be discussed.  An overview of  basic principles as well as sophisticated simulations will put students in contact with state-of-the art...

ICTP-SAIFR School on Interaction of Light with Cold Atoms Start time: January 30, 2017 Ends on: February 10, 2017 Location: São Paulo, Brazil Venue: IFT-UNESP Description: Light-matter interaction is one of the oldest, broadest and most fundamental scientific topics. Progress made during the last three decades in the preparation of cold matter and the suppression of classical noise allowed the emergence and the experimental manipulation of special coherence properties of matter and light, with applications to quantum sensing and...

Dates: November 6 – 8, 2016 Location: São Paulo, Brazil Venue: IFT-UNESP The ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research (ICTP-SAIFR) was created in 2011 as a collaboration of the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste (ICTP) with São Paulo State University (UNESP) and the São Paulo Research Funding Agency (FAPESP). To celebrate its 5th anniversary, ICTP-SAIFR is organizing a symposium of public talks, research seminars and...
