The Invisibles18 Workshop will take place in Karlsruhe, Germany from September 3 to September 7, 2018 and is organized by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The associated Invisibles18 School will take place the week before, from August 27 to August 31, 2018, at the TUM Science & Study Center Raitenhaslach in Burghausen, Germany and is organized by the Max Planck Institute for Physics and TU Munich.
The focus of the workshop will be on the physics of the "Invisibles":
- Neutrinos
- Dark Matter
- Axions
- Direct and indirect BSM searches
- Invisibles in astrophysics and cosmology
Talks are by invitation only, except for PhD students who are encouraged to apply for a brief plenary talk plus a poster presentation.
Important Dates:
- May 28, 2018: Deadline student applications for "Plenary Talk + Poster". Applications for "Poster Only" are also accepted afterwards.
- June 15, 2018: Early registration deadline.
- July 31, 2018: Final registration deadline - extended till Aug. 8, 2018
Social program and excursion:
On the evening of 3 Sept there will be a reception in Karlsruhe Palace.
On the free afternoon of Wed, 5 Sept we offer two organized events: A visit to the KIT research center at Campus North, including a visit to the KATRIN experiment and/or a guided tour at the local brewery Hoepfnerbräu. Both events have a limit for the number of participants. If more people are interested there will be a waiting list.
In the evening of Wed, 5 Sept there will be the conference dinner at Hoepfnerbräu.

The Invisibles18 Workshop is organised in the context of the Horizon 2020 funded projects ELUSIVES (674896-ELUSIVES-H2020-MSCA-ITN-2015) and InvisiblesPlus (690575-InvisiblesPlus-H2020-MSCA-RISE-2015), which focus on Neutrino and Dark Matter phenomenology and their connection, with emphasis on the role of the symmetry relating matter and antimatter. It is the seventh thematic workshop in the series initiated in connection with the past ITN project INVISIBLES.
