` Rencontres du Vietnam 2024: The Axion Quest
OVERVIEW


Founded in 1993 by Jean Trân Thanh Vân, the association Rencontres du Vietnam (http://vietnam.in2p3.fr/), a non-profit organization and an official partner of UNESCO, has as its objective the promotion of international exchanges between Vietnam and the international community, particularly in the areas of science and education. It also aims at the encouragement and integration of Vietnamese scientists into the international scientific community and at supporting the role of education and science by encouraging scientific awareness and stimulating passion for science in the younger generation. The Rencontres du Vietnam lies within the scope of two series of scientific meetings created by Jean Trân Thanh Vân : the Rencontres de Moriond (https://moriond.in2p3.fr/) in 1966 and the Rencontres de Blois (http://blois.in2p3.fr/) in 1989.

The creation of the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science Education (ICISE, http://rencontresduvietnam.org/) in the city of Quy Nhon (Central Vietnam) has the ambitious objective to focus on developing Science and Education by fostering exchanges between Asia-Pacific scientists and colleagues from other parts of the world.


 
The Axion Quest

The conference The Axion Quest will take place on 4-10 August 2024 in the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science Education (ICISE) of Quy Nhon, Vietnam. It will gather theorists and experimentalists, from particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology, to discuss forefront topics in the field of axion physics.

A detailed scientific programme is currently in preparation and this web site will be updated regularly. For any urgent information, please contact Isabelle Ripp-Baudot (email).

The conference will consist of in-person plenary sessions with both review and topical invited presentations, as well as contributed talks selected among submitted abstracts. A special emphasis will be put on active participation of young researchers (PhD and early stage post-docs) with dedicated Young Scientist sessions.

The conference will gather around 100 scientists discussing subjects covering following topics:
- The strong CP problem and axion models
- Axion cosmology
- Search for galactic axions with haloscopes and other antennas
- Search for solar axions with helioscopes and underground detectors
- Collider probes of axion-like particles
- Low energy probes of axion-like particles, fifth forces, light shining through wall
