The workshop site will be the picturesque campus of the Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (UTFSM). The scientific program of the workshop will address a broad range of topics covering many areas in high-energy particle physics and nuclear physics, namely: Higgs Physics, Hadron Spectroscopy, Neutrino Physics, High-Energy QCD, Hadron Structure, Non-perturbative QCD, Detectors and Instrumentations, Heavy Ion collisions, Beyond the Standard Model, Dark Matter searches, Phenomenology of AdS/CFT, Astroparticle Physics and Future experiments. For more information and registration, please visit the workshop website: https://indico.cern.ch/event/hep2016.
Abstract submission
The Scientific Program Committee is now accepting abstracts. The deadline is set to November 20th 2015. Please submit your abstract at your earliest convenience. You need to have a CERN (Lightweight) account for that. If you do not have one, or have trouble submitting the abstract through the website, you can email it to hep-chile@usm.cl.
Registration and workshop fee
Please register through the workshop website. The registration deadline is December 20th 2015. The regular workshop fee is 250000 CLP. It covers the participation to the workshop, the workshop kit, the welcome reception, the coffee breaks and the lunches. The fee can be paid by credit card through the workshop website under the “HEP2016 Online payment” link. It can also be paid by CASH ONLY upon arrival to the workshop. The online payment procedure is explained within the payment website. You will receive a confirmation email after the validation of your payment (this will take few days). Please bring a copy of the receipt with you to the workshop.
Please note that the registration, the workshop fee payment and the abstract submission are three independent processes. We encourage you to register at your earliest possible convenience.
