High Energy Physics

The symposium celebrates the life and achievements of James (BJ) Bjorken, a giant of theoretical physics, and brings together many of Bj's friends and colleagues to honor their friend and colleague. 

This one-day symposium celebrates the discovery of the J/psi resonance, which launched the modern era of particle physics. The symposium will review the lead-up to the discovery, the observations from BNL, SLAC, and Frascati, and the continuing influence of this...

ACE3P (Advanced Computational Electromagnetics 3D Parallel) is a comprehensive set of conformal, higher-order, parallel finite-element electromagnetic codes with multi-physics capabilities in integrated electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical simulation.

The goal of the workshop is to discuss unresolved physics questions associated with a novel type of lepton collider, which exploits strong-field quantum effects

We wish to invite you to join us for Honoring Burton Richter, a day-long symposium celebrating the life’s work of Nobel Laureate Burton Richter. The symposium will be held on Friday, May 15, 2020 in the Panofsky Auditorium at SLAC...

The SLAC Summer Institute (SSI) is an annual two-week-long Summer School tradition since 1973. The theme of the 50th SLAC Summer Institute for this Golden Anniversary year's installment is “Golden Opportunities: Puzzles & Surprises - Past & Future”. These SSI...

The 2021 SLAC Summer Institute will focus on the physics of the Higgs sector, from its foundational role in the Standard Model to the  various Beyond the Standard Model scenarios, as well as its cosmological connections. Several aspects of spontaneous...

The 2020 SLAC Summer Institute will focus on the physics of neutrinos, dark matter, dark energy and gravitational waves - referred to collectively as the “almost invisibles”. Their study is experimentally challenging because of their feeble interactions. They are also...

The theme of the 2019 SLAC Summer Institute will encompass the broad landscape of flavor physics associated with quarks, charge leptons and neutrinos. Lectures will cover contemporary theoretical developments, current experimental results and future frontiers, as well as discussions of...

The 2018 SLAC Summer Institute celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Standard Model with a broad overview of the multiple successes and the various challenges that the SM still faces. In addition to a survey of the historical development of...
