[PhilPhys] PHEP 2022

[Center for Philosophy of Science]

Join us Saturday March 26th and Sunday March 27th for PHEP2022: Early Career Conference in Philosophy of Particle & High Energy Physics

Particle physics is at a critical juncture: recent monumental experimental work at the Large Hadron Collider led to the Higgs discovery, but has not produced further experimental evidence of new physics. Current searches for the theoretical particles that comprise dark matter candidates raise major methodological questions of their own and are bringing particle physics into close contact with cosmology and astrophysics. Meanwhile, philosophy of cosmology and astrophysics, and philosophy of quantum field theory as applied to the models used in mainstream physics, have been major growth areas of philosophical investigation in recent years.

Topics include philosophical investigation of:

The significance of properties used in particle physics;
The recent increase of 'tabletop' experiments for precision tests of the standard model;
The variety of uses of renormalization and regularization techniques;
The relationship between cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics;
The methodological status of effective field theories;
The role of simulations in cosmology and particle physics
