14th International Workshop on Top Quark Physics (TOP2021)

Europe/Paris
Description

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.
