 s/j/63122588121Recent advances in large language models and agentic AI sys
 tems have enabled them to perform increasingly sophisticated components of
  theoretical physics research\, including symbolic and numerical calculati
 ons\, literature synthesis\, code generation\, formal reasoning\, and part
 ially autonomous research workflows.\n \nThis EuCAPT Rapid-Response Works
 hop brings together researchers from particle physics\, astrophysics\, ast
 ronomy\, and cosmology who are actively developing and evaluating such sys
 tems. The aim is to assess what current AI tools can and cannot accomplish
  on real research problems\, identify key opportunities and limitations\, 
 and discuss how these technologies may influence the future practice of th
 eoretical physics. The workshop is free\, will be held online via Zoom\, 
 and is open to both EuCAPT members and non-members.\nThe programme consist
 s of three invited presentations (20+5 minutes each) followed by a moderat
 ed panel discussion.Agenda (all times CEST\; 15:30 CEST = 9:30 AM EDT)\n1
 5:30 Welcome\nPresentations15:35 Moritz Münchmeyer (UW-Madison)- Cosmolog
 ist developing AI methods for physics research. His work includes TPBench\
 , one of the first research-level benchmarks for evaluating large language
  models on theoretical physics tasks\, as well as systems for reasoning an
 d symbolic verification.16:00 Darius Faroughy (Rutgers)- Particle physicis
 t working on foundation models and generative AI for collider physics. He 
 is the lead author of Collider-Bench\, which evaluates whether AI agents c
 an reproduce Large Hadron Collider analyses using public papers and softwa
 re.16:25 Alex Lupsasca (OpenAI & Vanderbilt U.)- Black-hole and quantum-gr
 avity theorist\, recipient of the 2024 New Horizons in Physics Prize\, and
  research scientist at OpenAI. His recent work explores the application of
  advanced AI systems to theoretical physics research\, including much-publ
 icised results on single-minus gluon & graviton amplitudes.Panel discussio
 n16:50 Moderated by Antony Lewis (U. Sussex)\nPanelists:Boris Bolliet (U. 
 Cambridge)- Cosmologist leading research on agentic-AI systems for science
 . Creator of CMBAgent\, a multi-agent system applied to cosmological data 
 analysis and co-creator of Denario\, a framework for automated scientific 
 research. Joseph Tooby-Smith (U. Bath)- Researcher working at the interfa
 ce of theoretical high-energy physics and computer science. He develops in
 teractive theorem-proving tools for the physical sciences and maintains Ph
 ysLean\, a project for formalising physics in Lean.Ann Zabludoff (U. Arizo
 na)- Extragalactic astronomer and cosmologist whose research includes mach
 ine learning and AI applications in astronomy. She co-leads data-science a
