Call for bids for the organisation of the EPS-HEP 2019 Conference
The HEPP Board of the European Physical Society is soliciting Expressions of Interest [EoI] from potential hosts of the EPS-HEP conference in 2019. These EoIs should contain some preliminary information on the Local Organizing Committee, the Universities and/or Laboratories involved, the location of the conference, the foreseen costs, the expected financial contributions from sources other than conference fees.
EPS HEP 2015 in Vienna
Physicists from all over the world gathered in Vienna in July 2015 for the biennial European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics, organized for the first time in the Austrian city of music, and chaired by Prof. Jochen Schieck from the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. About 750 physicists joined from the 22nd to the 29th of July to profit from 425 parallel talks, 194 posters, and 41 plenary talks covering the latest experimental and theoretical work in physics of particle colliders, neutrinos, heavy ions, astroparticles, and cosmology, as well as detector and machine developments. This was completed by a strong physics outreach program, and a rich social program including an exceptional concert.
A new era in Particle Physics
These are exciting times. In July 2013, one year after the discovery of a Higgs boson with the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN, about 750 particle physicists met at the international EPS Conference on High Energy Physics in Stockholm. This meeting was organised jointly by the EPS High Energy and Particle Physics Division [EPS-HEPP] and a local organising committee. The anniversary of the Higgs discovery was celebrated with the award of the EPS-HEPP Prize to the ATLAS and CMS collaborations and to M. Della Negra, P. Jenni, and T. Virdee for their leadership roles in these…
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…
Report from EPS HEP 2011
Impressive results, so early on, and so much more yet to come! This was the prevalent feeling among the 800+ attendees of the EPS-HEP bi-annual meeting, held at the end of July, in Grenoble.
The spectacular performance of the Large Hadron Collider, which within a year has delivered the integrated luminosity milestone of one inverse femtobarn, along with the very fast analysis of the data by the experiments, was a leading actor at the conference. In parallel, with the Tevatron approaching the finalization of its physics program…
HEPD elects new chair and secretary
The EPS High Energy Physics Division [HEPD] Board has elected Paris Sphicas, of the University of Athens, Greece, and CERN, Switzerland as the board’s next chair. Thomas Lohse, of Humbolt University, Berlin, is also being welcomed as the incoming secretary.
The HEPD would like to express its warmest thanks to the outgoing chair, Fabio Zwirner, for his hard work and dedication.
Winners of EPS High Energy Physics Division prizes
The winners of the EPS High Energy Physics Division prizes have been announced. The awards will be presented at the 2011 Europhysics Conference on High-Energy Physics, which is being held between 21-27 July in Grenoble, France.
The 2011 High Energy and Particle Physics Prize, for an outstanding contribution to the field, is awarded to Sheldon Lee Glashow, John Iliopoulos and Luciano Maiani, for their crucial contribution to the…
EPS-HEP Conference
The High Energy and Particle Physics (HEPP) division of the European Physical Society has recently called for nominations for the 2011 EPS HEPP Prizes, which will be presented at the International Europhysics Conference EPS-HEP 2011, to be held in Grenoble on 21-27 July 2011.
With eleven parallel sessions and an extended poster display, EPS-HEP is one of the major international conferences that reviews the state of our knowledge of the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions…
