Nov 2 (Mon) – 6 (Fri), 2026
Samcheok, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea
SWAN 26 is a workshop on astroparticle physics, focusing on dark matter and neutrinos. It brings theorists to present and discuss recent developments in direct and indirect dark matter searches, neutrino phenomenology, and hidden sectors beyond the Standard Model.
The workshop is organized as a small, focused meeting, with ample time reserved for open discussion. Our aim is to encourage in-depth exchange among participants and to help new collaborations take shape.
We look forward to welcoming you to Samcheok, where the Taebaek mountains meet the East Sea.
Topics
Dark matter theory and searches | Neutrino phenomenology | Dark matter–neutrino interactions | Cosmology and the early universe | Hidden sectors and light mediators | Gravitational Wave
SWAN 26은 암흑물질과 중성미자 물리를 중심으로 한 입자천체물리 워크숍입니다. 이론 연구자들이 모여 암흑물질 직접·간접 탐색, 중성미자 현상론, 그리고 표준모형 너머의 숨은 섹터(hidden sector)에 관한 최신 연구를 발표하고 토론합니다.
소규모 집중 워크숍으로 운영되며, 발표 시간 외에 충분한 자유 토론 시간을 두어 참가자 간 심도 있는 교류와 새로운 공동연구가 시작될 수 있도록 하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
동해 바다와 태백산맥이 만나는 삼척에서 여러분을 기다리겠습니다.
