The MITP program "ALPs across scales" aims to develop a guideline for future research on axions and ALPs, which are a key component of many extensions of the Standard Model. We will assess the different models and motivations from the lightest ALPs, motivated by string theory and dark matter ideas, over conventional QCD axions to heavy ALPs that can be probed by flavor and collider experiments. To this end we will identify the open questions in the theory of axions and work out which models can currently be tested, and which future experimental probes are desirable and feasible.
MITP seeks to bring together physicists with common scientific interests for discussions and collaborations. Instead of relying on a comprehensive list of talks, the program will focus on a series of informal seminars to inspire further discussions. Typically, up to 25 scientists take part at any given time. They are expected to stay for at least two weeks.
MITP offers all its participants office space and access to computing facilities during their stay. In addition, MITP will cover local housing expenses for accepted participants. The MITP team will be happy to arrange the accommodation according to the individual needs of the participants.
More detailed information on the logistics will be provided by email as the program approaches. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
