Bootstrap Approaches to Scattering Amplitudes
September 14 - 18, 2026
Bethe Center for Theoretical Physics, Wegelerstraße 10, 53115 Bonn (Germany)
The Bethe Center for Theoretical physics hosts the workshop “Bootstrap Approaches to Scattering Amplitudes” during the week September 14 -18, 2026.
In recent years, a revival of bootstrap techniques has been particularly striking in the area of scattering amplitudes, with applications branching out into more and more directions. The incentive of this week-long workshop is to bring together experts on perturbative and non-perturbative bootstrap approaches to amplitudes in a broad sense. Topics include curved space or string amplitudes, 2d S-matrix bootstrap, CFT methods, cosmological correlators or QCD. We plan a light program with ample time for interactions and discussions with workshop participants and locals in Bonn.
Speakers include:
Elisabetta Armanini (CERN and EPFL Lausanne)
Paolo Benincasa (MPP Munich and Santiago de Compostela)
Justin Berman (Michigan University)
Lance Dixon (SLAC)
Laura Donnay* (SISSA Trieste)
Giulia Fardelli (Boston University)
Andrea Guerrieri (City University London)
Yifei He (ENS Paris)
Grisha Korchemsky (IPhT Sacclay)
Elli Pomoni (DESY and Hamburg University)
Francesco Riva (Geneva University)
Charlotte Sleight* (Naples Univesity)
Sasha Zhiboedov (CERN)
Xinan Zhou* (GUCAS and KITPC Beijing)
