Description

Homepage | Registration

The "Brookhaven Forum 2015 (BF2015): Great Expectations, a New Chapter" event will be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY, USA, October 7-9, 2015. The scientific program will be devoted to new developments in high energy physics, with an emphasis on the latest data from the LHC.

Three years after the landmark discovery of the Higgs boson in Run I at the LHC, 2015 marks the start of Run II and we are all eagerly awaiting the findings at 13 TeV LHC, in its ongoing exploration of the Tera scale. Part of the scientific program will be dedicated to topics in cosmology and astrophysics, as well as physics at the intensity frontier. Talks will be arranged in both plenary and parallel sessions.
