[Cuga] 8th Patras Workshop on Axions- A message from Andrei Afanasev

[Lorelei Carlson]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to call your attention to the 8th Patras Workshop on 
Axions, WIMPs, and WISPs
to be held July 18-22 in Chicago and Fermilab in the USA!

This workshop will continue this very rich series and will highlight 
theoretical and experimental work
in this exciting field of research. Participation by young scientists is 
encouraged as the foundations
of this series started as a Training Workshop at CERN. We believe our 
workshop is unique  in the
manner in which it brings the different research topics together along 
with breadth and an outlook
on the future technology and techniques required to carry this research 
into the future.

The physics case for WIMPs, Axions, WISPs
Searches for Hidden Sector Photons
Signals from astrophysical sources
Direct and Indirect searches for WIMP Dark Matter
Indirect and direct searches for Axions and WISPs
New theoretical developments
Review of collider experiments
Scalars and Dark Energy - theory and experiment

Details regarding registration fees are being finalized soon and are 
expected to be similar to
previous workshops in this series. A next announcement should have those 
details.  Details
of the entire workshop series may be found at http://axion-wimp.desy.de

The workshop hotel will by the Hyatt Regency Chicago with one day of 
meetings at the Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory. The Hyatt Regency is located in a 
fantastic area of Chicago
and is easily accessible by public transportation. The conference fee 
will include lunch and
coffee breaks, a reception, and an excursion that highlights Chicago's 
rich architecture.

Please feel free to forward this mail to others who might be interested 
in joining this workshop.
Apologies if some of you receive this email more than once.

We look forward to having an exciting meeting this summer in Chicago!

Best regards,

William Wester (wester at fnal.gov <mailto:wester at fnal.gov>)
