Description

Conference on LHC First Data

The LHC has begun to probe a new energy frontier.  With a year of LHC data in hand, this symposium will provide an opportunity to discuss and perhaps speculate about what we have learned.  There will be a chance not only to assess the detector performance, but also to consider early physics results.  We expect broad participation from both the theoretical and experimental communities.
