International Workshop on Particle Physics at Neutron Sources 2018

The Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) and the Laboratoire de Physique Subatomique et de Cosmologie (LPSC) are organizing an international workshop on "Particle Physics at Neutron Sources", PPNS-2018, the next in a decennial series of particle physics workshops held at the ILL.

Participants are cordially invited to present both experimental and theoretical developments on:

• Properties of the Neutron
• Fundamental Symmetries and Interactions
• Hadronic Parity Violation
• Search for eV-Neutrinos
• Gravity tests in the quantum regime
• New Techniques and Ideas

These topics will be introduced by invited review talks:

• Clare BURRAGE (University of Nottingham, UK) will talk about the “Dark Side of the Universe”, covering aspects of Dark Matter and Dark Energy for non-cosmologists.
• Vincenzo CIRIGLIANO (Los Alamos National Lab, USA) will put the theoretical motivation of searches for neutron-antineutron oscillations into the context of other searches for physics beyond the standard model.
• Carlo GIUNTI (INFN Torino, Italy) will review Searches for eV sterile neutrinos.
• Martin GONZALEZ-ALONSO (CERN, Switzerland) will present Beyond the Standard Model searches in systems with light and heavy quarks.
• Ernst RASEL (Universität Hannover, Germany) will review gravity tests in the quantum regime.

The year 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the discovery of ultra-cold neutrons. On this occasion, Hartmut ABELE (TU Wien, Austria) will give a commemorative speech.

The workshop will consist of up to 25 contributed talks and a poster session. Proceedings will be published in a refereed journal.
