Explore fundamental concepts in modern particle theory through this comprehensive lecture series featuring weekly two-part presentations from leading researchers in the field. Delve into cutting-edge topics including axion theory with Anson Hook from the University of Maryland, quantum computation applications to quantum chromodynamics (QCD) presented by Zohreh Davoudi, and the innovative double copy method explained by Henrik Johansson from Uppsala University. Examine S-matrix theory fundamentals with Francesco Riva from the University of Geneva, discover lattice gauge theory principles through Margarita Garcia Perez's expertise from IFT UAM-CSIC, and investigate cosmological correlators with Guilherme Pimentel from Pisa. Learn about dark matter research developments from Josh Ruderman at NYU and explore the emerging field of surfaceology with Carolina Figueiredo from Princeton University. Each topic is presented across two detailed sessions, providing comprehensive coverage of both theoretical foundations and recent advances in formal, computational, and phenomenological approaches to particle physics, designed to bridge diverse perspectives and methodologies within the particle theory community.
