Brookhaven Forum 2023 Advancing Searches for New Physics (BF2023)

4 Oct 2023, 08:45 → 6 Oct 2023, 17:00 US/Eastern

The quest for new physics continues. As high energy physics and cosmology presses forward on multiple fronts, the BF2023 program will explore new cutting edge directions in experimental searches, theoretical calculations, and phenomenological efforts.

The plenary and parallel talks will be hosted on a single zoom link available to registered participants only. Breakout rooms will be used for the various parallel tracks. If you have not yet received the zoom link and have registered for the meeting, please reach out to the conference organizers.

There will be a public lecture on Thursday, October 5, by Chad Hanna on gravitational waves.

Plenary and parallel speakers: please upload your slides as soon as possible. If you do not have access, please email them to BrookhavenForum at bnl.gov.

All participants are required to conduct themselves in a professional fashion. Discrimination and harassment are not tolerated. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other related concerns contact the event co-chairs and/or the Brookhaven Lab Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Office (1-631-344-6253) immediately.
