TH institute program 2011

Dark Matter underground and in the heavens – DMUH11

The institute aims at providing the participants with an opportunity to discuss the latest developmens in the field of Dark Matter. The main goal is to assess critically what will be the state of the art at the end of the “first round of searches at the TeV scale (in mid-2011) and to plan the road along promising theoretical and phenomenological directions.
Dates: july 18 – July 29, 2011
Organizers: M.Cirelli, D.Hooper, S.Sarkar, P.Serpico, G.Servant, T.Schwetz, N.Weiner

TH-LPCC Summer Institute on LHC Physics – THLPCC11

This 5-week Institute is co-organized by CERN’s Theory Group and by the LHC Physics Centre at CERN.
The first two weeks of the Institute will be focused on SM and QCD while the last three weeks will be devoted to BSM, with a special emphasis on model building during the first two, and on the status of the searches at the LHC in the last one.
Dates: Aug 1 – Sept 2, 2011
Organizers: S.Frixione, G.Giudice, C.Grojean, M.Mangano, G.Salam, P.Skands, G.Servant

Quantum Gravity: from UV to IR

The goal of this TH Institute is to investigate problems associated with perturbative and nonperturbative gravity, particularly in the context of scattering, black holes, and cosmology.
Dates: Sept 5- Sept 23, 2011
Organizers: L.Alvarez-Gaumé, G. Dvali, S.Giddings, W. Lerche, and H. Nicolai
