Description
This is the annual joint meeting of the Institute of Physics High Energy Particle Physics and Astroparticle Physics Groups.
The meeting will take place at the University of Sussex, starting on Monday 21 March. An STFC town meeting will follow the conference on the afternoon of 23 March.
The conference will focus on both experimental, as well as theoretical physics within the following themes:
collider physics
neutrino physics
flavour physics
non-accelerator particle physics
astroparticle physics
particle physics
particle physics detectors
particle accelerators for future projects
Twitter hashtag: #IOPSUSSEX2016
The 42nd Annual Bubble Chamber HEP football tournament will be held on Sunday 20 March.
