9th Annual Meeting of the Helmholtz Alliance "Physics at the Terascale"

17 Nov 2015, 10:00 → 18 Nov 2015, 22:00 Europe/Berlin

DESY Hamburg

Welcome to the 9th Annual Helmholtz Alliance Workshop on "Physics at the Terascale"! As in the past 8 years, the workshop will offer a rich programme of stimulating plenary talks and parallel sessions full of intense discussion on topics connected to the LHC, linear colliders and also Belle. The following parallel sessions will be held:
- Linear Collider Forum
- Standard Model physics
- Higgs physics
- SUSY / BSM physics
- Top physics
- Flavour physics (NEW! For the first time combining results from LHC and Belle!)
- Computing
In addition, a satellite Mtautau workshop (see also the menue entry on the left) will be held before the meeting.
A workshop dinner on Tuesday evening will round off the event.
