California Amplitudes Meeting 2016

California Amplitudes Meeting
October 10-12, 2016
UCLA Physics & Astronomy Department

This is the second in a series for meetings for researchers in California interested in scattering amplitudes. The first was held at UC Davis.

The focus is on recent topic in scattering amplitudes, including mathematical aspects of positive Grassmannian and Amplituhedron, non-planar on-shell diagrams, ratio functions in N=4 SYM, symbols and the basis of hexagon functions, multi-loop integrated amplitude, the CHY formula, BCJ duality, double-copy relations and applications to effective field theories.

Organizers: Zvi Bern (UCLA), Clifford Cheung (Caltech), Lance Dixon (SLAC), Jaroslav Trnka (UC Davis).
