TOP 2014 - 7th International Workshop on Top-Quark Physics

28 sept. 2014, 19:00 → 3 oct. 2014, 14:00 Europe/Paris

résidence Pierre et Vacances (Cannes-Mandelieu)

The TOP 2014 workshop will be held from September 29th to October 3rd, 2014 in Cannes, France. It will bring together about 130 experimental and theoretical physicists working on top quark physics and related topics. The workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest results from the LHC and Tevatron experiments as well as the most recent theoretical developments and an outlook on top quark physics at future colliders. The programme will consist of plenary presentations, a poster session conceived for young researchers, and plenty of time for discussions. The goal of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive picture of top physics and a forum where experimentalists and theorists can discuss the interpretation of top quark results and future measurements.
