Description

We are excited to introduce SEARCH, a bold new conference series designed to become a hub for exploring new physics discovery potential and breakthroughs at high-energy physics experiments. This annual event will gather leading minds from around the world for in-depth discussions and collaborations on the forefront of Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics.

SEARCH draws inspiration from the successful workshops series of the same name held between 2012 and 2016, where the focus was on vibrant, interactive discussion sessions. These workshops created a dynamic and open environment for debate and idea exchange. The aim of SEARCH is to reignite that spirit and offer an opportunity to shape the future direction of BSM physics research.

The inaugural event, SEARCH25, hosted at CERN from October 20th to 24th, 2025, will focus on the discovery potential of today and feature a dynamic mix of open discussions and thought-provoking presentations spanning theory and experiment across a variety of subfields in HEP, designed to spark new ideas and collaborations. The preliminary version of the conference agenda is now available. Registration is open at no fee. 

We warmly invite the high-energy physics community to join us in this exciting venture and to help define the roadmap for BSM physics in the coming years. We hope you join us at SEARCH25 to ignite the search together.

        Questions 1h 30m
        Speaker: Zach Marshall (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (US))

        • What do you each think is the most interesting area within the BSM landscape currently and why?

        • Is there anything that you heard this week that changed your mind about a specific area of the BSM landscape with respect to its importance for new searches?

        • Are there any experimental or phenomenological developments (other than a discovery) on the horizon for the next few years that would 'solve' the area of the BSM landscape you find most interesting, or make you turn your attention elsewhere?

        • To what extent should experimentalists be informed by theorists’ opinions about what is most interesting? What guiding principle(s) should we use to decide what to devote several years of work to?

        • Does our community sufficiently account for constraints from other subfields (cosmology, EDMs, MDMs, precision tabletop experiments, DM-direct detection, atomic/LE, etc)? Are there particular areas to which we should be paying more attention?

        • What about the other direction? Are there things we could do with our results to make them more broadly useful and used in other subfields?
