Santa Fe 2008 Summer Workshop

``LHC from data to discovery''

July 6 - July 11, 2008


All the talks are now posted here


Introduction

The particle theory group (T-8) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory will host its annual workshop in July 2008 at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The topic of this summer's week long workshop will be the first few years of LHC physics.

We plan to have three or four talks daily (July 7 through July 11), with plenty of time for informal discussion and collaboration. To encourage this informality, attendance will be limited to 30 participants.

Housing

Accommodations for five nights (July 6 through July 10) at the La Fonda Hotel is included with the registration fee. Additional nights will not be covered by the registration fee but depending on room availability workshop participants can reserve additional nights before or after the workshop at the special rate of $94 ($114 for double occupancy) plus any applicable taxes. Further details on accomodations can be found here.

The registration fee, which includes five nights accommodations, breakfast, lunch and snacks Monday-Friday, will be $450 for all faculty and $250 for junior participants.
