The 2013 Phenomenology Symposium will be held May 6-8, 2013 at the University of Pittsburgh. It will cover the latest topics in particle phenomenology and theory plus related issues in astrophysics and cosmology. The recent discovery of the Higgs boson has begun a new era of exciting insights into the nature of the universe.
Early registration ends April 14, 2013.
Talk submission ends April 21, 2013.
The tentative plenary program is now available.
The tentative topics and speakers are:
Symposium sponsored visit to Phipps Conservatory on the afternoon of May 8.
PITT PACC Travel Awards: There are a number of awards (up to $300 each) available to graduate students for travel and accommodation to Pheno 13. A student applicant should send an updated CV, a statement of the need, and arrange a short recommendation letter sent from the thesis advisor by email to pittpacc+award@pitt.edu. The decision will be based on the academic qualification, the talk submission to Pheno 13, and the need. The deadline for the application is the same as the talk submission April 21, and the winners will be notified by April 26.
PHENO 2013 ORGANIZERS: Cindy Cercone, Neil Christensen, Ayres Freitas, Tao Han (chair), Adam Leibovich, Josh Sayre, and Susanne Westhoff.
PHENO 2013 PROGRAM ADVISORS: Vernon Barger, Lisa Everett, Kaoru Hagiwara, JoAnne Hewett, Xerxes Tata, and Dieter Zeppenfeld.
