PHENOEXP 2020

The main goal of PHENOEXP 2020 is to bring experimentalists and theorists together to reflect on the current and future opportunities in the field of particle physics. Subjects to be discussed include Higgs, QCD, flavor and BSM physics at the LHC. Since Argentina and Brazil have the largest LHC communities in the region, the target participants are mostly researchers from these countries but we are also counting on the participation of colleagues from other Latin American countries.

The core of the Workshop will be devoted to the participation of Working Groups (WG) towards generating new collaborations, and there will be a few invited talks to cover the trends and challenges of the field and short presentations from the different research groups in the community. As in the previous edition, the following WG’s will be formed: Higgs, QCD, Flavor Physics, and BSM physics at the LHC. A fifth Working Group will occur as a satellite meeting during the last two days of the workshop: “Precision Frontier”.  It is expected that the workshop will stimulate close and profitable collaborations for the next decade.

This is the second edition of the workshop, after the successful experience with PHENOEXP2018 held at ICAS, U. San Martín, Buenos Aires in May 2018. For detais of PHENOEXP2018, see https://indico.cern.ch/e/phenoexp2018

Visa information: Nationals from several countries in Latin America and Europe are exempt from tourist visa. The Brazilian government announced that effective June 17, 2019, a visitor visa (electronic or paper) will not be required for U.S. citizens to travel to Brazil for the purposes of tourism, business, transit and artistic and sportive activities, for stays of up to 90 days. Nationals from Australia, Canada and Japan can apply for an e-visa through VSF Global. Please check here which nationals need a tourist visa to enter Brazil.

Hotel recommendation: http://www.ictp-saifr.org/hotel-recommendations-2. Participants and Speakers whose accommodation will be provided by the institute will stay at The Universe Flat.

How to reach the Institute: The workshop will be held at ICTP South American Institute, located at IFT-UNESP, which is across the street from a major bus and subway terminal (Terminal Barra Funda). The address which is closer to the entrance of the IFT-UNESP building is R. Jornalista Aloysio Biondi, 120 – Barra Funda, São Paulo. The easiest way to reach us is by subway or bus, please find instructions here.

Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for travellers going to Brazil. Note that the vaccine needs to be taken at least ten days before the trip to be effective. Information: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/alert/yellow-fever-brazil
