Via Enrico Fermi 54, 00044 Frascati (RM)
Description

The Workshop on Light Dark Sectors @ LNF (LDS@LNF) brings together researchers to discuss recent progresses in the the field of light dark sectors (covering light dark matter, axion-like particles, dark photons, and related scenarios). The program will cover topics ranging from theoretical motivations to novel experimental strategies, with the aim of encouraging exchanges and fostering collaborations within the community.

This workshop is also supported by the PRIN2022K4B58X project “AxionOrigins: Towards a Complete Theory for the Origin of the Axion” (PI: L. Di Luzio), a collaborative effort involving INFN, the University of Padua, and Sapienza University of Rome. The meeting serves as the closing event of this initiative.

The workshop will take place in the Salvini Auditorium (Building 36, access via the LNF secondary entrance at Via E. Fermi, 60 – see map).

(Talks by invitation only)
