US LHC Users Association Annual Meeting

12 Nov 2014, 16:00 → 14 Nov 2014, 19:15 US/Central

Conference Room 1416 Thursday morning (Building 240)

Harvey Newman (Caltech)

We are looking forward to an exciting meeting, with a great range of final results on the Higgs boson discovery as well as the wide-ranging search for new physics and groundbreaking results on flavor physics and heavy ion physics from LHC Run 1. We will also hear of the preparations and exciting prospects for the next LHC run at higher energies, along with the well-advanced installations and longer term plans and developments for the LHC accelerator and detector upgrades. With the Higgs Boson discovery, and the fact that we have so far not found the physics beyond the Standard Model that may lie just over the horizon, this is a time of great anticipation in our field. Our annual meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for the members of our community, especially the younger members, to come and present and discuss their work. This will be complemented by status and physics highlights talks from each of the LHC experiments, the LHC accelerator team, and LARP, the view from Washington by representatives of the DOE and NSF, and a review and discussion of this year's trip to Washington together with Fermilab UEC and SLUO.

THURSDAY MORNING SESSION 1 AND SESSION 2 WILL BE HELD IN BUILDING 240 CONFERENCE ROOM 1416. THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY SESSIONS WILL BE HELD IN BUILDING 362 AUDITORIUM.
