NExT Meeting at Sussex

Wednesday 19 Nov 2014, 08:00 → 18:30 Europe/London

Pevensey I 1A7 (University of Sussex)

News from BSM, Higgs and supersymmetry

This half-day meeting of the NExT institute will gather international research leaders and early career researchers to discuss recent progress and developments towards the new SM with a particular emphasis on Higgs physics, BSM searches, and astro-particles gearing up towards net year's high-energy run of the LHC.

Participation is free of charge and talks will run from 13:00 - 18:30.

The NExT Institute is a regional alliance in the South-East of England (SEPnet) to promote Particle Physics at the interface between theory and experiment.
