11 May 2026, 09:00 → 15 May 2026, 19:00 Europe/Rome

Building 36, Aula Salvini (Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (Rome), Italy)

Alessandro Paoloni (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), Alexander Pedersen Lind (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), Emanuele Angelo Bagnaschi (INFN LNF), Gemma Maria Tinti (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), Gennaro Corcella (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), Giacomo Landini (IFIC and Universidad de Valencia), Kristjan Müürsepp (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), Silvia Pisano (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

The XXII LNF Spring School “Bruno Touschek” in Nuclear, Subnuclear and Astroparticle Physics will take place at the INFN, Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Italy from Monday, May 11th to Friday, May 15th, 2026.

The School is addressed to graduate students and young post-doctoral fellows in theoretical and experimental high-energy, nuclear and astroparticle physics. The 2026 edition of the School includes lectures on selected theoretical and experimental topics, discussion sessions, a colloquium and the 9th Young Researchers' Workshop on "Challenges in  high-energy, nuclear and astroparticle physics", scheduled on Monday, May 11th and on Wednesday, May 13th. Students and postdocs planning to participate in the School are strongly encouraged to apply to give a presentation of their research in the workshop, by sending an email to the school chair, with the proposed talk title. The contributions will be published in Frascati Physics Series. The registration fee is 150 euros and covers lunches at the LNF canteen, coffee breaks, social dinner and excursion. Some funding covering the registration fee is available for participants giving talks in the Young Researchers' Workshop.

Deadline for registration and talk proposals: April 30th, 2026
