[Cuga] Light Dark Matter search at Accelerators (LDMA2017), May 24-28 2017- a message from Marco Battaglieri

[Lorelei Chopard]

Dear Colleague,
we would like to invite you to attend the workshop  Light Dark Matter 
search at Accelerators (LDMA2017) to be held in Elba Island (Italy) on 
May 24-28 2017.
Visit the web site of the conference for more details: 
https://agenda.infn.it/conferenceProgram.py?confId=12410

Following the 2015 workshop 
(http://ldma2015.ge.infn.it/LDMA2015/Welcome.html), LDMA2017 will gather 
people interested in this new and fast growing field to share expertise 
spanning from theory to the experimental techniques and provide guidance 
to the development of an experimental program aiming to prove or 
disprove the possible scenarios of light dark matter.
In this spirit, a significant fraction of time will be devoted to 
discuss novel ideas, plans and proposals.
The topics we would like to cover are the following:
- theoretical motivation and justification of light dark matter scenario(s);
- constraints from cosmology and astrophysics;
- experimental searches at accelerators:
     - visible decays,
     - invisible decays,
     - searches at colliders;
- direct detection experiments (WIMPs);
- existing and future facilities.
These topics will be covered in the 7 half-day sessions convened by:
/    Theoretical overview, cosmology and astrophysics: , G. Krnjaic 
(Fermilab), C. Bohem//(Durham)
//    Visible searches:  M.Holtrop (UNH), A.Denig (Mainz)//
//    Invisible searches: R. Van de Water (LANL)//
//    Searches at colliders: E. Izaguirre (Stonybrook), W. 
Bonivento//(INFN-CA)
//    Direct detection: P. Belli (INFN-RM2),  D. Snowden-Ifft (Oxy), 
S.Davini//(INFN-LNGS)
//    Facilities Overview: S. Stepanyan (JLab), P.Valente//(INFN-RM)/
LDMA2017 workshop will be the occasion to strengthen existing 
collaborations between groups (theorists and experimentalists) active in 
the field and review the present status and plans for searches at 
facilities in Europe (CERN, LNF, Mainz, ...) and oversea (JLab, Cornell, 
SLAC, Novosibirsk) labs.
All participants will be lodged at Hotel Hermitage, where the workshop 
sessions will take place, or the nearby Hotel La Biodola.
Best regards
