Chiral Lagrangians Beyond Lowest Order (Lecture 3) by Gino Isidori

Описание: Program: School for Advanced Topics in Particle Physics (SATPP): QCD, Effective Field Theories, and Nuclear Physics

ORGANIZERS: Rick Sandeepan Gupta (TIFR, Mumbai, India), Namit Mahajan (PRL, Ahmedabad, India), Tuhin S. Roy (TIFR, Mumbai, India) and Sudhir Vempati (IISc, Bengaluru, India)

DATE & TIME: 19 January 2026 to 30 January 2026

VENUE: Ramanujan Lecture Hall, ICTS Bengaluru

The aim of the SATPP is to provide exposure/training to postdoctoral fellows and advanced/mature theoretical particle physics students in the final years of their PhDs, who already have a fair amount of expertise in quantum field theory and topics in particle physics. The goal is not just to provide details of the spectrum of ideas/mechanisms but also to supply essential technical tools that will allow the young researchers to think about these critically and constructively. Also members of the faculty, who would like to broaden their expertise are encouraged to apply.

In the second edition we continue with “Selected Topics in Effective Field Theories (EFTs).” EFTs, which provide systematic ways of “describing” the physics of a scale using only the relevant degrees of freedom, have become essential tools for understanding our universe. From describing the unknown at the TeV scale or above, to understanding/calculating observables involving mesons, baryons, and even atoms and nuclei, EFTs are increasingly turning out to be the appropriate language. In this edition, the school will span two weeks with the first week focusing on topics of low energy EFTs and the second week concentrating on high energy EFTs. As in the previous school, we have managed to attract the world's best experts on the topics of the school.
