[Alessandra Filippi]

Dear all,
let me forward you the following message, about a school on Feebly Interacting 
Particles that will be held in a nice location in french Alps, Les Houches, on 
mid-May. It could be an interesting happening for our students and young 
colleagues (also with a chance of poster presentations).
Please note the deadline for application, March 15.
cheers
     Alessandra

Dear Colleagues,

"FIPs in the ALPs" is the first edition of a foreseen series of schools fully 
dedicated to the physics of feebly-interacting particles and will be held in 
the beautiful mountain village of Les Houches (France), from 14 to 19 May 2023, 
see the webpage:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__indico.cern.ch_event_1247323_&d=DwIBAg&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=ErLkbYGWd8oSAZ70ywHxhA&m=Zx4WLnuXg41f18wBf19sqhT7u-grlH9QBbfBdpsw4UlfWWVONsBNOYxkDxo1LgDy&s=FG1pnLYEzEovD2a55noxXWZbLE_SP4riLPTAyUNlPl8&e= 

The school is organized by the FIP Physics Centre at CERN and aims to embedding 
a new generation of physicists into the activities of the group.

Advanced PhD students and PostDocs are strongly encouraged to apply.
Given the limited number of rooms, only about 50 young researchers will be 
selected.

PROGRAMME:
==========
The School is organized along three main directions:

     MeV-GeV Dark Matter and its searches at accelerator, direct and indirect 
detection experiments;
     Heavy neutral leptons and their connection to active neutrino physics;
     Ultra-light (< 1 eV) FIPs in particle physics, astroparticle, and 
cosmology.

and has the following preliminary programme and confirmed lecturers:

     Marco Drewes, Mikhail Shaposhnikov: Heavy Neutral Leptons in particle 
physics and cosmology
     Maxim Pospelov: FIPs in the early universe
     Yevgeny Stadnik: Phenomenology of ultra-light FIPs
     Joerg Jaeckel: ALPs in the FIPs
     Stefania Gori: Phenomenology of MeV-GeV Dark Matter
     Gaia Lanfranchi: FIPs searches at extracted beam lines.

The format of the school consists of about 5 hours of lectures per day with 
plenty of time for informal discussions. There is the possibility for the 
participants to present their activity with a poster.


APPLICATIONS:
=============
The applications should consist in 2pp (max) CV+motivation letter and can be
submitted via the registration form at the school website until 15 March.
The results of the selected (about 50) participants will be communicated by the 
end of March.

PRACTICALITIES:
===============
A bus from CERN to Les Houches (and back) will be organized at the beginning 
and end of the school.
The price of a single room, full board included, is 104 Euros/day. No fee for 
the school is foreseen.


Looking forward to meeting you in Les Houches!
