Zewail CIty of Science and Technology
The International Symposium on Physics in Collision is a prestigious conference series that was first held in 1981 in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. The symposium primarily features review talks that highlight the latest experimental research findings, with a strong emphasis on particle physics. It also includes discussions on related fields such as heavy ion physics, astroparticle physics, and gravitational physics. In addition to the review talks, the symposium incorporates shorter contributions through poster sessions and parallel talk sessions, which further explore these topics. Invited speakers are tasked with reviewing and updating key areas in particle physics and related disciplines, focusing on significant results published in the past year or anticipated before the next symposium. The presentations are designed to foster informal discussions on new experimental findings and their broader implications. The symposium covers a diverse array of physics topics, ranging from accelerator-based particle physics to astroparticle physics, providing a comprehensive platform for scientific exchange and collaboration.
