COST CA18108 3rd Training School in Pałac Wojanów (Poland), 12-21 February 2023

Our 3rd Training School will be organized by the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the University of Wroclaw at Pałac Wojanów, situated in the neighborhood of Jelenia Góra (Poland), from the 12th to the 21st February 2023. Registration is open at the website of the School:
where you can find additional information about the organization of the school.
We encourage the participation of PhD students and young postdocs with either theoretical or experimental background, since one of the objectives of the Action is the training of young researchers in theoretical models and experimental techniques in order to build a new scientific profile that will combine the relevant skills and a transversal background in the fields of astrophysics and quantum gravity.

IceCube probes for quantum gravity using astrophysical neutrino flavors

The IceCube Collaboration, which includes members from our COST Action CA18108, has presented the results of its search for the effect of quantum gravity on the flavors of astrophysical neutrinos. Although no evidence was found for quantum gravity effects, the result presented is the first to reach the expected signal region of quantum gravity using neutrino flavor interferometry. This study was published today as a letter in the journal Nature Physics.

DSR20 online meeting

It’s now 20 years since the first Doubly Special Relativity papers appeared on ArXiv. Several research groups have worked on DSR-relativistic models, leading to significant progress, but some grey areas remain on the conceptual side and additional phenomenological avenues are much needed. The meeting “DSR20” (an online meeting, using zoom) intends to be an opportunity for an exchange of ideas on these matters. DSR20 will be held from december 14 to december 16 and it will be scheduled so to allow colleagues in different parts of the world to attend at least some of the sessions.
