14th International Workshop on Top Quark Physics (TOP2021)

13 Sept 2021, 14:00 → 17 Sept 2021, 18:45 Europe/Paris

Welcome to the 14th International Workshop on Top Quark Physics (TOP2021)

The 14th International Workshop on Top Quark Physics (TOP 2021) will be held online, via zoom, from September 13 to 17, 2021, starting on Monday at 14h CERN time (8am EDT).

TOP 2021 brings together experimentalists and theorists to present and discuss the latest developments in top-quark physics. This year's meeting will be an on-line conference hosted by Michigan State University and other North American institutions. The program includes a mini-workshop entitled "Top Physics @ Future Colliders".

Young scientists are especially encouraged to participate, and there will be a poster session as well as a block of short plenary talks in the "Young Scientist Forum'',  allowing them to present their work.  There is no registration fee.

Please note that all times correspond to CERN time. The conference will be held on Zoom; information about how to join can be found on the left for registered users. Speakers should upload their slides before their session starts, ideally one day in advance. The zoom information is shown in the bar on the left.

There is a slack channel for chats with other conference participants and with the organizers, you can join it at this link.

The poster session will be organized as separate Zoom rooms for individual presenters. Conference participants can visit as many poster rooms as you like during the session by moving from Zoom room to Zoom room, similarly to a normal poster session. We will award a prize for the best poster.

We expect that posters are in the traditional poster format, either horizontal or vertical. However, if you have a preferred format for you poster, please email the conference organizers.
