There is clear evidence for the existence of new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM), including the origin of neutrino mass, the nature of dark matter (DM) and the baryon asymmetry of the universe. Some theoretical considerations, such as the strong CP problem and the hierarchy between the electroweak scale and the Planck scale, also imply the existence of new physics scales. Addressing these fundamental questions demands the development of innovative theoretical frameworks and experimental strategies. A range of experiments across the intensity, energy, and cosmic frontier provide unique opportunities to explore fundamental extensions of the SM and address its shortcomings. This timely conference will consider new physics scales across the electromagnetic spectrum with a multi messenger approach to highlight important results from the ongoing experiments, and determine how they can be interpreted within the context of theoretical models. The workshop will offer guidance for the development of new experiments, and establish how the wide range of available energy scales can be used to search for new physics.

Winter Conferences

From December through April each year, the Aspen Center for Physics hosts between six and eight one-week winter conferences. These single-session meetings, with typical attendance of about 80, are focused on the latest developments in the core physics areas of the Center. The details of the format vary, but most have a set of invited speakers, additional speakers drawn from the conference participants, and poster sessions that give an opportunity for all participants to present and discuss their work.
