Dear colleague,
We are pleased to invite you to the 7th International Conference on High Energy Physics in the LHC Era (Hep2018) to be held from 8 to 12 January 2018 in Valparaíso, Chile. The conference site will be the picturesque campus of the Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (UTFSM). The scientific program of the conference 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.
This version of the conference will be dedicated to the memory of Professor Lev Lipatov who passed away recently, we are organizing special plenary session with recollections and a dedicated memorial parallel session. If you would like to contribute to them please get in contact with the organizers as soon as possible.
Abstract submission
The Scientific Program Committee is now accepting abstracts. The deadline is set to December 9th 2017. 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 conference fee
Please register through the conference website. The registration deadline is December 15th 2017. The regular conference fee is 300000 CLP (460 USD or 430 EUR). It covers the participation to the conference, the conference kit, the welcome reception, the coffee breaks and the lunches. The fee can be paid by credit card through the conference website under “Hep2018 Online Payment” or following this this link. It can also be paid by CASH (only) upon arrival.
