Update March 25, 2022: The timetable of talks is now public.
Particle Physics on the Plains will be held on April 2-3, 2022, at the University of Kansas. The workshop facilitates a discussion about the latest results in particle phenomenology and theory among particle theorists in the region.
The format will be a hybrid. However, talks are preferred to be in person unless an accommodation is made or there are extenuating circumstances. Accommodations are are on a case-by-case basis and can be made by contacting the organizers.
Talks are intended to be mostly student/postdoc talks. If there is room in the schedule, we will add faculty talks. Nevertheless, this is an excellent opportunity for faculty to keep up on research in the region and gather for lengthy discussions.
March 1, 2022 There are funds available to help support lodging for students and postdocs who give talks. TTo be eligible for these funds students/postdocs must register and submit a talk abstract by 11:59 pm CDT March 1, 2022. Preference will be given to regional theoretical particle physics students/postdocs. However, provided funds are available, we will support the lodging of additional students/postdocs. Further details are on the registration and lodging pages.
March 4, 2022 Deadline for hotel reservation under our group rate at the Hampton Inn. Information can be found on the lodging page.
March 24, 2022 March 27, 2022 Registration closes at midnight CDT.
Confirmed Invited Speakers: Tao Han (University of Pittsburgh) and Tim Bolton (Kansas State University) have agreed to attend on Saturday and give a talks at Particle Physics on the Plains this year. Tim Bolton will give a neutrino experiment overview.
Masks are strongly encouraged. Information about COVID-19 regulations at KU can be found here: https://protect.ku.edu/
Lunch on Saturday and coffee breaks will be provided during the conference.
Driving directions on Google maps from the hotel to campus can be found on the lodging page.
This workshop is supported in part by the Research Excellence Initiative of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Kansas, US-DOE, and the University of Kansas Department of Physics & Astronomy.
