California Amplitudes Meeting
QMAP, UC Davis, May 31 - June 1, 2025
The meeting will be held in the space of the Center for Quantum Mathematics and Physics (QMAP). The focus is on various topic in scattering amplitudes and recent developments. It is mainly aimed at researchers located in California.
Practicalities:
All talks will be in the QMAP seminar room (3rd floor). Lunches and coffee breaks will be in the kitchen area on the 2nd floor. Saturday afternoon is devoted to discussions. There is free evening on Saturday (we will then go for dinner at 6:00pm in downtown Davis in multiple groups). The QMAP doors are closed on the weekends - Taro and Umut will open them for participants in the morning. If you are coming late or need to come back during the day, then call/text Taro (617-953-7193) or Umut (510-396-9794).
Schedule:
The workshop starts on Saturday, May 31 at 10:00 with the welcome and the first talk. We will be around since 9:00 to welcome people, breakfast and coffee will be also available. Same on Sunday morning (talks start 9:45). The workshop will end on Sunday, June 1, 2:00pm after the lunch. All talks are 25+5 minutes, the gong show talks are shorter (length TBD).
