New Horizons on the Energy Frontier
August 15-26, 2016
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Menlo Park, California
The SLAC Summer Institute (SSI) is an annual two-week-long Summer School tradition since 1973.
Lectures are given Monday through Friday each morning. The
afternoons contain a mixture of special lectures, topical
conference talks, discussion sessions, student projects and
tours. In the evenings, there are social activities and student
poster sessions. The attendance is typically a mixture from
graduate students to postdocs, as well as senior researchers.
The theme of the 2016 SSI will be ''New Horizons on the Energy Frontier”,
focusing on the Run 2 LHC, its upgrades and possible future
e+e-
and hadron colliders. The LHC has just begun taking data at 13
TeV with growing anticipations on what it might discover during
Run 2. Our community is also contemplating potential future
facilities to follow up the upgraded LHC. This ambitious journey
to unlock the secret of nature beyond the Standard Model
involves extensive challenges to the accelerator, experimental
and theoretical communities with variety of opportunities.
