This NExT PhD Workshop is the fourth of a series dedicated to post-graduate training. It is open to NExT Institute staff, PDRAs and PhDs as well as external participants. It aims to bring people together to present, share and generate new ideas. The topic of this edition is "The road ahead", a chance to discuss present status and future plans for particle physics in the light of LHC, Planck and neutrino results.

Southampton will host the 34th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory in July 2016. The conference will be held on campus and we expect about 500 participants from across the globe (it moves in successive years between Europe, the Far East and the USA). The decision was made by the International Advisory Committee of the conference during this years Symposium "Lattice 2014" which was hosted by Columbia University, New York.

Lattice Field Theory is a subfield of particle physics in which space-time is approximated by a lattice of points and fundamental quantities are evaluated by simulations on high-performance supercomputers (our collaboration uses the DiRAC IBM BlueGene/Q machines in Edinburgh and accesses about 1.3 petaflop of processing power). The conference therefore brings together experts in particle physics and quantum field theory, in the development of the corresponding algorithms and even groups which build dedicated machines.

Congratulations to Mr Declan Millar, a NExT PhD Student on a joint Southampton-QMUL PhD programme on the project `Search for Resonant Production of Top Pairs at ATLAS', supervised by Prof Stefano Moretti (Southampton HEP group) and Dr Lucio Cerrito (QMUL PPRC), who has secured a very prestigious ATLAS PhD Grant.

This grant will support Declan's stay at CERN on Long Term Attachment (LTA) to the ATLAS experiment for the academic year 2014/15, followed by additional support for a further year back in the UK. This award is also a clear endorsement by the experimental world of the importance of the NExT Institute vision of embedding theorists within data analysis.

A novel proposal for cold dark matter, with a surpringly small mass of only 100 eV and interacting remarkably strongly with normal matter, has been published in Nature Scientific Reports   (authors James Bateman,  Ian McHardy, Alex Merle, Tim Morris and Hendrik Ulbricht). The paper also represents a milestone for the history of the department: for the first time there has been a publication involving authors from all three groups in Physics and Astronomy.
