Welcome to the West Coast LHC Theory Meeting

When: Jan 16, 2008
Where: Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Menlo Park, California
Location:
- Kavli Auditorium (in the morning)
- Redwood Rooms C/D, Bldg. 48 (in the afternoon)
Registration: Registration is free. Please register by January 9, 2008.

This is the fifth in a series of meetings of the West Coast LHC Theory Network. The purpose of these meetings is to encourage theorists in the West Coast region to collaborate and pool resources and expertise as we confront the problems raised by the physics results from the LHC. Each meeting has featured lectures on common theme. The theme for this meeting is the understanding of heavy particle Standard Model backgrounds to generic new physics signatures. We have scheduled talks on the LHC expectations and on experience from the Tevatron, and we will discuss a possible common project in preparation for the LHC data.

We hope you will have a stimulating day at SLAC.
