Description
Summary:The First Sharjah International Conference on Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology (FISICPAC-2018), was organized by the University of Sharjah (UoS) from November 11 to 13, 2018, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Al Qassimi, ruler of Sharjah and president of the University of Sharjah The conference was organized within the framework of the ongoing research collaborations between the University of Sharjah, the Abdu Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Its program addressed the interests of theorists, phenomenologists and experimentalists working within the realms of Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology. Attendees representing various institutions from 24 countries consisted of 250 participants for whom the conference provided a real platform for the exchange of new ideas and experiences, as well as, to promote and establish a collaborative framework of researchers and academic partners. Participants included several international speakers and representatives from various prominent universities and research centers, lead by Professor Hamid Al Naimiy, chancellor of the University of Sharjah, director of the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy & Space Science & Technology (SAASST) and Founder & President of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences. Also present was Prof. Fernando Quevedo, ICTP director, Prof. Patrick Fassnacht advisor of the CERN DG to the MENA region, Prof. Karl Jacobs, Spokesperson of the ATLAS experiment and Prof. Martin Barstow, director Leicester Institute of Space and Earth Observation and former president of the Royal Astronomical Society. The conference’s scientific program included presentations of research findings via oral and poster sessions, in addition to a series of overviews and plenary talks delivered by pioneering physicists specialized in the fields of particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics such as Prof. John Ellis, Clerk Maxwell professor of theoretical physics at King's College London, Prof. Bobby Acharaya, professor of physics at King’s College London UK and ICTP and Prof. Andreas Eckart, professor of physics at Physikalisches Institut, Universität zu Köln, Germany. In total the scientific program featured 9 plenary speeches, 62 oral presentations and 19 posters. There were 36 contributions from the UAE, including 13 contributions from the University of Sharjah, 5 of which were by students. Moreover,
