Be.HEP Summer Solstice 2018

Europe/Brussels
Ghent

Ghent

Description

Following a tradition established over almost two decades,  the Belgian High Energy Physics community organises regular informal scientific meetings where ideas and results, theoretical as well as experimental,  are presented and discussed.

Originally, these meetings were held in the context of the PAI Fundamental Interactions. Even though the PAI programme has now stopped, the HEP community has decided to continue the tradition and start a new be.hep series of yearly meetings.

One of the most enriching aspects of these events is the fact that all "souls" of HEP activities in Belgium, will be present and contribute to the program. These go from formal aspects of quantum field and string theory, gravitation and cosmology to particle physics, theory and experiments (from the LHC, to NA62, to Solid,..) and astroparticles (IceCube, TA, ...).

This event is supported by FNRS and FWO, also through the EOS project be.h and the COSPA network.
