MC4BSM-2014: Monte Carlo Tools for Physics Beyond the Standard Model

18 May 2014, 18:00 → 23 May 2014, 18:55 ROK

Room #204 (DCC)

Seung Lee (KAIST)

This is the 8th workshop in the MC4BSM series, intended to bring together experimentalists, model builders, phenomenologists, and tool builders to discuss new roads on the way for a possible discovery of physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC (and future colliders/experiments). The workshop will be of interest to a broad range of theorists interested in interpreting LHC data (including model-builders, collider phenomenologists, and Monte Carlo experts), experimentalists involved in searches for physics Beyond the Standard Model, as well as graduate students in these areas, who will benefit from the dedicated tutorial sessions.

The workshop registration fees for participants are $150 USD  ($130 USD for students). We will have a free Wednesday with an optional  excursion to Seoul.
