Description
The 21st International Conference on B-Physics at Frontier Machines, "BEAUTY 2026", will be held in Maastricht, the Netherlands, from the 1st to the 5th June 2026.
Initiated in Prague - 1993, the BEAUTY conference series is devoted to reviewing the latest theoretical and experimental advances in heavy flavour physics.
The scientific programme will cover a wide range of topics, including CP violation, rare decays, spectroscopy, and production of heavy flavoured B and charmed hadrons. Prospects for upcoming B-physics experiments at frontier machines, and at the next generation of high-energy colliders will also be discussed.
During the week, several social activities are scheduled (welcome reception, excursion, conference dinner).
We would like to specifically invite early-career scientists to join and contribute to the two poster sessions with short lightning talks.
Please note that June is a very busy time in Maastricht. We urge everyone to book their accomodation as soon as possible.
As part of Beauty 2026, we are organize Bachelors@Beauty which has been generously sponsored by the Universiteitsfonds Limburg/SWOL
