This school will train the future generation of nuclear/particle physicists on the latest concepts and tools being developed in the fields of lattice QCD, amplitude/phenomenological analysis, effective field theory, and few-/many-body methods.
This school is meant for graduate students and postdocs in nuclear/hadronic/particle physics that are actively engaged in research. You must have taken at least one semester of graduate-level quantum field theory. Although the classes will all be on theory, we welcome experimentalists to apply.
The topics that will be covered include:
Lattice QCD,
Scattering theory,
Effective field theories (SMEFT, ChiPT, NN EFT...),
Ab-initio methods for light and medium nuclei,
Fundamental symmetries.
Confirmed Lecturers: Daniel Winney [Bonn], Dave Wilson [Cambridge], Felipe Ortega Gama [UCB/LBNL], Fernando Romero-Lopez [U. Bern] , Glòria Montaña [JLab], Henry Monge Camacho [ORNL], Kaori Fuyuto [LANL], Maarten Golterman [SFSU], Takumi Doi [RIKEN iTHEMS] , Thomas Richardson [UCB/LBNL], Arkaitz Rodas Bilbao [ODU/JLab], Wouter Dekens [UW]
Requirements: one year of quantum field theory and one year of research in related fields.
The participants will have to present a poster on their research during the social event of the second week. We strongly recommend that you come to the school with your poster already printed out. The standard size for a poster in inches is landscape 48" x 36", which translates to approximately 122cm x 89cm.
Subsidized housing will be reserved on campus for up to 30 participants. To reserve a room, you will need to fill out the application form.
We are able to support the local lodging costs for a subset of the participants. We anticipate that the travel costs to Berkeley will be provided by your local department. However, we would like to know if you are able to also support your local lodging costs, or if you do not have funds to support the travel. We hope to be able to provide additional support, including for travel, for a small number of students. Please indicate what support you have and need in the application form. Note, in the application form, you will be ask to provide a letter of support from your supervisor, which should also confirm what financial support you will have.
Application Form: https://forms.gle/9NhwC5cmMjCxzB2H8
Application will be open until March 14. Acceptance will be sent out by March 28.

Title: Probing the Standard Model to eleven-digit precision with the muon magnetic moment
Abstract: On June 3rd, the Muon g−2 Experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced the results of its six-year data-taking campaign. The experiment achieved a remarkable precision of 0.127 parts per billion in measuring the anomalous component of the muon’s magnetic moment, allowing one of the most sensitive tests of the Standard Model to date. Yet, fully exploiting this result to probe for new fundamental physics requires equally precise theoretical predictions. In this talk, after surveying the current experimental and theoretical status of the muon’s magnetic moment, I will present a lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculation of the contribution that currently dominates the uncertainty in the Standard Model prediction for that quantity. When combined with the other Standard Model contributions, this result yields a prediction that agrees with the experimental measurement within one standard deviation, validating the Standard Model to 11 digits.
