RENATA & 21th MultiDark joint Meeting, October 8-11, 2024 in Santander

MultiDark2024 is the annual meeting of the Spanish network, Multidark, funded by the Agencia Estatal Española del Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (RED2022-134411-T). This time will be joint with a special meeting of RENATA (Red Nacional de astroparticulas ) in order to prepare the update on the European Strategy of Particle Physics.

Scientific Programme
This is a special meeting joint with the RENATA network to prepare the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics. In this meeting, the first two days will be dedicated to the MultiDark/RENATA update of the European Strategy, with review talks on the different topics covered by RENATA and a discussion session at the end of the second day.

The next two days will be dedicated to report recent activities of the different groups composing the current MultiDark network (see https://projects.ift.uam-csic.es/multidark_new/working_groups/ for information about the groups).

All talks will be plenary, lasting 15-20 minutes each, with time for questions and discussions. We are still preparing a final version of the program but when ready it will appear here.

MultiDark meetings are crucial for sharing new ideas, advances, and state-of-the-art knowledge in astroparticle physics. The scientific program will cover a range of topics in DM research, showcasing the latest results from the different participating groups, which intersect particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and instrumentation.

GRASS Trento, September 30th – October 2nd 2024

The GRAvitational - wave Science&technology Symposia (GRASS) are a series of meetings held in Padova and Trento and aimed at exploring the panorama of gravitational-wave related experimental science beyond the next decade; special emphasis is given to open issues and key enabling technologies at the forefront of the most advanced detection techniques. It represents an informal and unique meeting occasion for experts from different fields involved in experimental aspects of future gravitational-wave science and technology.

The GRASS 2024 edition will include topical sessions on Gravitational Waves and Multi-messenger Observational Science, Coatings and Materials, Perspectives for the Reduction of Quantum Noise and Stray Light mitigation for future GW detectors. A general session to discuss any other open issue is foreseen as well.

Attendance to the conference will be in person only. No video streaming of the conference is forseen at this time.

11th International Fermi Symposium, September 9-13, 2024, College Park, Maryland

This symposium follows previous Fermi Symposia at Stanford, CA (February 2007), Washington, DC (November 2009), Rome, Italy (May 2011), Monterey, CA (November 2012), Nagoya, Japan (October 2014), Arlington, VA (November 2015), Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany (October 2017), Baltimore, MD (October 2018), virtual (April 2021), and Johannesburg, South Africa (October 2022).

The two Fermi instruments have been surveying the high-energy sky since August 2008. The Large Area Telescope (LAT) has discovered more than seven thousand new sources and many new source classes, bringing the importance of gamma-ray astrophysics to an ever-broadening community. The LAT catalog includes supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, pulsars, binary systems, novae, several classes of active galaxies, starburst galaxies, normal galaxies, and a large number of unidentified sources. Continuous monitoring of the high-energy gamma-ray sky has uncovered numerous outbursts from a wide range of transients. Fermi LAT’s study of diffuse gamma-ray emission in our galaxy revealed giant bubbles shining in gamma rays. The direct measurement of a harder-than-expected cosmic-ray electron spectrum may imply the presence of nearby cosmic-ray accelerators. LAT data have provided stringent constraints on new phenomena such as supersymmetric dark-matter annihilations as well as tests of fundamental physics. The Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) continues to be a prolific detector of gamma-ray transients: magnetars, solar flares, terrestrial gamma-ray flashes and gamma-ray bursts at keV to MeV energies, and complementing gravitational wave observations by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA and the higher energy LAT observations of those sources.

All gamma-ray data are made immediately available at the Fermi Science Support Center. These publicly available data and Fermi analysis tools have enabled a large number of important studies. We especially encourage guest investigators worldwide to participate in this symposium to share results and to learn about upcoming opportunities.

This meeting will focus on the new scientific investigations and results enabled by Fermi, the mission and instrument characteristics, future opportunities, and coordinated observations and analyses.
