Flavour physics, the study of weak interactions of quarks and leptons, is in an exciting period with various anomalies observed in the decays of B mesons and processes involving muons, as well as LHC Run-3 starting operation in 2022 while the Belle II B factory steadily accumulating data. Conclusive evidence as to whether this sector of the standard model of particle physics is broken may be just around the corner. The programme will offer a pedagogical introduction to experimental and phenomenological flavour physics through seven brief lecture courses, followed by a three-day topical conference. The lecture courses will introduce flavour phenomenology within the standard model and beyond, as well as explaining the role of quantum chromodynamics. In addition, there will be lectures about the experimental techniques employed at the LHC and in electron-positron collisions. The concluding topical conference will review the latest results and prospects in the field of flavour physics.Elig...

Waves are ubiquitous in natural fluid systems like the Earth's ocean, planetary atmosphere, and the interior of stars and planets. Stratification (owing to spatial variations of temperature, salinity, gravity or magnetic field) and/or Coriolis effects (owing to the rotation of planets & stars) represent key physical ingredients of wave generation, propagation and dissipation in many of these large-scale systems. Together with the significant amounts of energy input into them, the ability of waves to transport energy and momentum (and maybe mass too) through large spatial extents has significant implications for (i) global flow features like oceanic or atmospheric circulation, mean temperature distribution in planets/stars etc., (ii) the overall energy budget, and (iii) biological activity in the ocean. Furthermore, it is now widely recognized that wave dissipation mechanisms (and the resulting generation of heat and mixing) have to be accurately parameterized in global scale numerical ...

This is a (hybrid) satellite meeting held at ICTS, Bangalore in parallel with the American Physical Society (APS) March meeting, in collaboration with APS during March, 14-18, 2022. The satellite meeting aims to gather the diverse condensed matter community in Bangalore working under the following sub-areas :Biophysics at the macroscaleBiophysics at the nanoscaleComputational materials design from first principlesEmerging trends in soft and granular matterNon-equilibrium many-body systemsStrongly Correlated systems : ExperimentsStrongly correlated systems : Theory The aim of this meeting is two folds :Allow the large condensed matter community in Bangalore to interact with local groups - an aspect that was somewhat hindered in the past couple of years due to the pandemic. This will include a set of short talks by various groups working in the above focus areas.​In collaboration with APS, allow access to the the researchers in Bangalore to the live streaming of the talks of the APS marc...
