SUMMARY:Seminar: 'Sub-GeV Dark Matter\, Neutrino Masses\, and Astrophysical Signals from a Rich Dark Sector'
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Sub-GeV Dark Matter\, Neutrino Masses\, and Astrophysical Signals from a Rich Dark Sector.’ \nSpeaker: Elina Merkel (University of Bologna) \nVenue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: Rich dark sectors provide an attractive framework for addressing several puzzles in particle physics and cosmology within a single model. In this talk\, I will present a simple sub-GeV dark-sector realization featuring a dark matter candidate\, a light scalar mediator\, and an extended neutrino sector. I will show how the model can reproduce the observed relic abundance\, generate light neutrino masses\, and satisfy cosmological constraints. I will then discuss its phenomenological implications\, focusing on neutrino signals that could be probed by current and future neutrino telescopes.

SUMMARY:Seminar: ‘The Hunt for Multiple Axions’
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘The Hunt for Multiple Axions’ \nSpeaker: Arturo de Giorgi (University of Durham). \nVenue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: Axions and axion-like particles may arise in Nature as a spectrum rather than as a single field. Such a scenario naturally emerges in string-inspired constructions\, as well as in reasonably simple bottom-up extensions of single axion models. In such multi-axion scenarios\, new signal features arise\, and recasting of existing experimental bounds from single-axion constraints becomes generally non-trivial. This motivates a closer look at how laboratory axion searches are impacted when multiple states contribute. In this talk\, I will first briefly introduce bulk axions in extra dimensions as a concrete framework that naturally generates multiple modes\, and highlight some of the phenomenological subtleties that follow. I will then present general results for multi-axions–photon oscillations\, showing how coherence and interference can either enhance or suppress signals\,  with direct implications for light-shining-through-a-wall experiments and beyond.

SUMMARY:Pro(v/b)ing the Swampland
DESCRIPTION:The workshop Pro(v/b)ing the Swampland will take place from September 1 to 3\, 2026\, at the Instituto de Física Teórica IFT UAM-CSIC in Madrid\, Spain. \nThe aim of the workshop is to bring together leading experts in string compactifications\, the Swampland programme\, quantum field theory\, conformal field theory\, scattering amplitudes and other techniques that can be used to probe the imprint of quantum gravity at low energies. \nThe meeting will explore which Swampland conjectures and quantum-gravity constraints may be amenable to general proofs in frameworks such as holography or the bootstrap\, and will discuss possible future directions for Swampland research. \nThe workshop will be held exclusively in person. Participants interested in attending must register through the official website. \nOrganizers: \n\nMarkus Dierigl\nIrene Valenzuela\nLuis Ibáñez\nMatteo Lotito\nFernando Marchesano\nMiguel Montero\nÁngel Uranga\n\nAdministrative support: Rosa Sánchez Puga \nConfirmed speakers: \n\nJulio Parra Martínez\nSanjay Raman\nAmineh Mohseni\nJosé Calderón Infante\nBrando Bellazzini\nIvano Basile\nMatilda Delgado\nBen Heidenreich\nLucía Gómez Córdova\nIgnacio Ruiz García\nThomas Van Riet\nElli Pomoni\nJonathan Heckman\nGabriele Di Ubaldo\nHouri Christina Tarazi\nGrant Remmen\nLuca Martucci\n\nMore information and registration:Pro(v/b)ing the Swampland official website
