Top2015 - 8th International Workshop on Top Quark Physics

13 Sept 2015, 13:00 → 18 Sept 2015, 14:30 Europe/Rome

Continental Hotel, Ischia

Fabrizio Margaroli (Universita e INFN, Roma I (IT)), Luca Lista (INFN Sezione di Napoli)

The TOP 2015 workshop will be held from September 14^th to 18^th in Ischia, Italy.

The workshop will bring together the community of experimental and theoretical physicists working on top quark physics, 20 years after its first discovery, and at the beginning of the exploration of the new energy regime at the Large Hadron Collider. The workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest results from the LHC and Tevatron experiments as well as the most recent theoretical developments and an outlook on top-quark physics at future colliders.

The programme will consist of plenary presentations, a Poster Session, a Youg Scientists Forum and 'Question and Answers' sessions, targeted for young researchers. A significant fraction of the workshop time will be devoted to discussions.

The goal of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive picture of top-quark physics and a forum where experimentalists and theorists can discuss the interpretation of top quark results and plan future measurements.
