LHC Paperfest

Europe/London
Description

An unprecedented scientific milestone was recently reached - 1000 peer-reviewed papers have been published from each of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland and over 600 from the LHCb experiment. We propose a day to celebrate the LHC science and technology story so far.  This will be a retrospective of the LHC science and technology, and a look ahead to the new technologies and the science questions at the LHC in the years to come.

Venue: IOP Headquarters, 37 Caledonian Road, London N1 9BU

Coffee at 10.30am

Presentations 11am-5.30pm

Reception at the IOP building following the close of talks around 5.30pm

Dinner 7.30pm at the Ambassador's Bloomsbury Hotel, 12 Upper Woburn Place,  Euston, London WC1H 0HX.
