ICPPA 2016
from 10th to 14th of October, 2016
The Second International Conference on Particle Physics and Astrophysics
Moscow, Russia
General information
The Second International Conference on Particle Physics and Astrophysics (ICPPA-2016) will be held in Moscow, Russia. The conference is organized by the National Research Nuclear University “MEPhI”.
The aim of the Conference is to promote contacts between scientists and to develop new ideas in fundamental research. Therefore we will bring together experts and young scientists working in experimental and theoretical aspects of nuclear physics, particle physics (including astroparticle physics), and cosmology. ICPPA-2016 aims to present the most recent results in astrophysics and collider physics from the main experiments actively taking data as well as any upgrades for the methods of experimental particle physics. Furthermore, one special workshop will be held within the framework of this conference: «SiPM development and application».
The working language of the conference is English.
You can find more information about accommodation in Moscow below in the Accommodation section.
