Organizers:

D. Blas (ICREA/IFAE), A. Gómez (UB), T. Lux (IFAE), I. Riu (IFAE), R. Vázquez (UB), J. Virto (UB)

The International Meeting on Fundamental Physics is the Spanish Symposium on high energy particle physics with the longest tradition. Since its creation in 1973, it has been organized on an annual basis by each of the main Spanish groups in turn. Its scientific programs have included dedicated reviews with the latest results in the fields of particle and astroparticle physics and cosmology.

The 2024 edition is organized by the Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE) and the Universitat de Barcelona (UB). The program includes latest experimental results and theoretical advances in flavour and neutrino physics, particle physics, dark matter, cosmology, axions, gravitational waves, neutrino and gamma ray messengers. Dedicated talks will overview the detector and computing technological challenges for future accelerators as well as for rare event search experiments. The meeting will also include sessions scientific policy and strategy in particle physics, in particular within the Spanish community. We will also have special sessions to celebrate 50 years of the J/Psi particle and of Hawking radiation.

Benasque

Benasque, is a beautiful village located 1140 m above sea level in a valley in the heart of the Pyrenees. The beautiful landscapes and the proximity to the highest mountains of Pyrenees make Benasque one of the main tourist sites in the region.

The venue of the meeting will the Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual, a 25 years old facility devoted to the organization of international scientific meetings (http://benasque.org).
