Description

The Gordon Research Conference on Particle Physics is a unique forum for both senior scientists and the younger generation to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The meeting will cover a wide range of topics. A key goal is to bring together scientists working in theory and experiment at all frontiers of particle physics, ranging from the LHC and other future high energy colliders over precision and intensity frontier approaches to the increasingly important study of astroparticles and the early universe at the cosmic frontier. The meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for theorists and experimentalists to communicate with each other, inspire each other and form collaborations in the search for new physics and in the quest to answer long standing questions about the fundamental laws that govern our universe.
