INSPYRE 2023

Frascati,  March  27 – 31 , 2023

From Quarks to Black Holes: let’s get INSPYRED!

The school, finally in person, after 3 years of online schools, will be based on interactive presentations and hands-on experiments related to the most recent and exciting results and future perspectives in our investigations of the Universe, from Quarks to Black Holes.
Experimental and theoretical investigations within the Standard Model of particle physics, but also searches of new physics, beyond the Standard Model, performed at accelerators and in underground laboratories will be addressed by enthusiastic experts in the field–happy to share with you their wisdom. We shall also introduce you to the fascinating world of gravitational waves detectors, investigating black holes and neutron stars, towards a better understanding of the gravity and of our Universe.
The hands-on experiments we will do together with you go from quantum and particle physics, to applications of physics for society. We shall also organize dedicated visits in our Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN Visitor Centre and to our main infrastructures, including the unique DAFNE accelerator, where stars meet particle and nuclear physics. Last but not least, we shall address new avenues in technologies, such as quantum technologies and sensors, and new medical applications.
We invite you, the Universe tomorrow’s explorers, to join us in this INSPYRING adventure, from Quarks to Black Holes.
