• 2nd CFHEP Symposium on circular collider physics---August 11-15, 2014 Beijing, China

Center for Future High Energy Physics, http://cfhep.ihep.ac.cn , will organize a week-long workshop on the physics opportunities at future circular colliders in Beijing starting August 11. We are writing to invite you to participate the workshop.

As you know, there are many physics studies on this and related topics being carried out, both from domestic working groups and from the international community. As part of the Chinese effort, we are aiming at presenting a summary report on the physics case this fall. The purpose of the August workshop is to collect available results, gather input, and prepare the ground for the report. During the workshop, we will hear the summaries from the working groups, and perspectives from abroad.

If you plan to come, we would appreciate it if you could register (website) or inform us as soon as possible.

Organizers:
Nima Arkani-Hamed, director (IAS)
Cai-Dian Lu, deputy director (IHEP)

Sally Dawson (BNL), Tao Han (U. Pittsburgh/Tsinghua U.), Hongjian He (Tsinghua U.), Michelangelo Mangano (CERN), Shufang Su (U. Arizona), Lian-Tao Wang (U. Chicago), Zhizhong Xing (IHEP), Jinmin Yang (ITP), Xinmin Zhang (IHEP) Shouhua Zhu (Peking U.)

Registration:
Please register at http://indico.ihep.ac.cn/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=4311
The registration is open until July 20, 2014. The registration fee is 800 RMB, covering meeting materials, lunches, and coffee breaks. The registration fee must be paid in Chinese RMB at the registration desk on-site. Please note that the credit card payment cannot be accepted.

• 1st CFHEP Symposium on circular collider physics---February 23-25, 2014 Beijing, China

The Center for Future High Energy Physics (CFHEP), hosted by Institute of High Energy Physics, will start its activities in Feb. 2014. CFHEP will dedicate its efforts to carrying out detailed studies on both the physics case and the design of the possible future colliders. The immediate focus will be on an electron-positron Higgs factory and a high energy proton-proton collider, based on a circular tunnel. More information regarding CFHEP can be found at http://cfhep.ihep.ac.cn.

This symposium is the kick-off meeting for CFHEP. There will be a day of public events on Feb 23, highlighting new physics opportunities after the discovery of the Higgs. It will feature a panel discussion at Tsinghua University with panelists Nima Arkani-Hamed, David Gross, Gerard 't Hooft, Joseph Incandela, Luciano Maiani, Hitoshi Murayama, Yifang Wang and Edward Witten, moderated by Shing-Tung Yau, on the topic of "After the Higgs Discovery: Where is Fundamental Physics Going?".

A two-day workshop (Feb 24 - 25) will then be held at IHEP, focusing on the physics case for future circular colliders, as well as discussions on how to synchronize the domestic theoretical particle physics effort with the planning and designing of future circular machines.

We hope you will join us to begin a discussion of these issues and we are looking forward to a fruitful year of CFHEP activities in 2014!

Workshop on Future High Energy Circular Colliders---December 16-17, 2013 Beijing, China

The workshop will bring together people interested in high energy circular e+e- colliders as a Higgs factory as well as future high energy circular pp colliders beyond the LHC energy frontier, and will discuss critical issues for accelerator development and detector design, theoretical aspects of Higgs precision measurements, and the physics potential of pp colliders at 50-100 TeV.
