Description

We welcome you to a 4 day workshop from 5 - 8 Sep 2022 in the beautiful city of Durham, UK,  to discuss recent developments in axion physics. We are planning an in-person meeting with a small number of invited talks covering a broad range of topics in axion physics. The workshop is funded by IPPP: there is no conference fee and the workshop dinner on 06 Sep is free for all participants.

Our aim is to leave plenty of time for stimulating discussions and we would especially encourage contributed abstracts.

Topics

  • Astrophysical searches for axions
  • Axions at colliders
  • Laboratory searches
  • Cosmology

We have a limited budget to cover travel and accommodation for those who would otherwise be unable to attend. Please indicate on the registration form if you would like to apply for this. For full consideration for funding, please apply by the end of July. We will make decisions as soon as possible after this date.

The registration deadline is 12th August.
