Mini-Workshop
September 11-12, 2014
Victoria, BC
Precision data from particle physics and cosmology continues to shape our view of the fundamental constituents of matter. Despite its success, there is compelling empirical evidence that the Standard Model of particle physics is incomplete, as it cannot account for dark matter or neutrino mass. In recent years, the realization that this new "hidden sector" physics could be mugh lighter than the electroweak scale has drawn attention to the role of high precision experiments at the intensity frontier. This mini-workshop will bring together researchers working at the forefront to explore the new physics reach of next generation fixed target and collider experiments.
All sessions will be held at the Hotel Grand Pacific

The workshop will be held at the Hotel Grand Pacific in downtown Victoria, right on the harbour. Attendees staying at the same hotel should request the reduced "UVic rate". The hotel is located on the south side of the harbour, next to the BC Legislature, and there are alternative accomodation options nearby.
The hotel is about 30-40 minutes by shuttle or taxi from Victoria airport - see the Travel tab for further information about travel options.
Organizers: Maxim Pospelov and Adam Ritz
