Brookhaven Forum 2011: "A First Glimpse of the Tera Scale"

19 Oct 2011, 08:00 → 21 Oct 2011, 12:30 US/Eastern

Berkner Hall: Auditorium, Rooms A, B and C; Chemistry: Large Seminar Room and Lounge (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

Amarjit Soni (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Hooman Davoudiasl (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

The scientific program will be devoted to new developments in high energy physics, with an emphasis on the latest data from the LHC and the Tevatron experiments. A significant portion of the agenda will be dedicated to topics in cosmology and astrophysics, and their relation with outstanding questions in particle physics. Talks will be arranged in both plenary and parallel sessions. With the exploration of the Tera scale now underway at the LHC, as well as other experimental facilities, we look forward to lively discussions on many interesting and perhaps as-yet-unforeseen issues during this meeting. Please visit the conference website at http://www.bnl.gov/bf2011/ for periodic updates.
