Editorial – From Particles to the Cosmos at EPS HEP 2017 in Venice
Close to a thousand physicists from all over the world gathered in July 2017 at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP) in Venice, Italy. The HEPP division of the EPS played the role of the International Organising Committee and the conference was organised by Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padova.
HEP2017
The biennial International EPS Conference on High Energy Physics will be held from Wednesday 5 to Wednesday 12 of July 2017 in Venice, Italy. This major conference will cover new physics results and more on Astroparticle physics and Cosmology, Neutrinos and Dark Matter, Flavour and CP violation, Standard Model and Beyond, Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, Quantum Field and String Theory, QCD and Heavy Ions, Accelerators and Detectors, Outreach, Education, and Diversity.
ATLAS and CMS awarded for the discovery of a Higgs boson
In July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations announced the discovery of a new heavy particle at a mass around 125 GeV. Its properties were strikingly similar to those of a Higgs boson, a long-sought particle expected from the mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking that was introduced almost 50 years ago by Robert Brout, François Englert and Peter Higgs.
Experimental confirmation of the Higgs boson presented monumental challenges because of its relatively large…
EPS HEP 2013
The High Energy Physics conference of the European Physical Society [EPS HEP] will take place in Stockholm, Sweden from 18 to 24 July 2013.
The EPS HEP is a biennial conference organized by the High Energy and Particle Physics Division of the European Physical Society since 1971. The conferences in this series usually attract 600-700 participants and are part of the world’s largest conferences in its field. Topics covered are: Standard Model and Beyond…
