Multiple Parton Interactions (MPI) are the main theme of the MPI @ LHC2019 five-day scientific congress, which begins Monday, 18 November. It is organized by the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering CTU in Prague (FNSPE) together with the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (AS CR).

The issue of MPI is part of the research of the depths of the hadron microcosm, which is carried out at places other than on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research).

 

Seventy scientists from all over the world will come to Prague to discuss the latest discoveries in the field of experiments, as well as theories about parton correlations and software development, without which further research in high energy physics would be unthinkable. The current meeting is the 11th annual regular event.

 

MPI @ LHC2019 was supported by the CAAS project, co-financed by the European Union. The event is part of the Particle Physics - PARTPHYS program, which is directly involved in the study of micro-world physics at experiments at the world's largest hadronic LHC accelerators at CERN and RHIC at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.
