Standard Model at LHC 2016
University of Pittsburgh
The SM@LHC 2016 conference will be held May 3-6, 2016 at the University of Pittsburgh.
The meeting aims to bring together experimentalists and theorists to discuss the phenomenology, observational results and theoretical tools for Standard Model physics at the LHC. The agenda is divided into four working groups:
- Electroweak physics
- Higgs physics
- QCD (hard, soft & PDFs)
- Top & flavour physics
Conference location: Forbes ballroom, Hilton Garden Inn, 3454 Forbes Ave.
Program organizers: Juan Alcaraz Maestre, Jeppe Andersen, Mario Campanelli, Tancredi Carli, Vitaliano Ciulli, Stefan Dittmaier, Frank Krauss, Eric Laenen, Katharina Müller, Aleandro Nisati
Local organizers: Cindy Cercone, Ayres Freitas, Tao Han, Brock Tweedie
SM@LHC 2016 is followed by the Pheno 2016 Symposium, May 9-11, 2016, in Pittsburgh.
