NA61/SHINE Beyond 2020 Workshop

Description

This workshop will focus on development of the physics program for the NA61/SHINE detector in the years after CERN's Long Shutdown 2. This versatile detector has been used in recent years for heavy ion physics as well as particle production measurements for understanding neutrino beams and cosmic ray air showers. The collaboration is open to new potential physics opportunities from these or other physics communities. This workshop will provide a forum to present plans and ideas to current and potential new collaborators. A tour of the detector will be conducted.

Contributions on relevant physics, detector options, or related measurements are welcome. Please contact the organizing committee at the address below.
