2. 24th Rencontres de Blois, Particle Physics and Cosmology,
May 27th-June 1st, 2012, Château de Blois
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an announcement and call for papers for an international
conference which will be held in the Château of Blois, in France's
Loire Valley. Particle Physics and Cosmology will emphasize the
increasing interplay between high energy accelerator based physics and
cosmology.
The conference will consist of plenary sessions for invited in depth
oral presentations (review talks and talks on specific specialised
topics), and contributed papers, in the form of relatively short oral
papers or posters. We will aim to achieve a balance between review
talks, provocative talks given by recognized specialists, and shorter
contributions, special emphasis being placed on active participation
by younger researchers and post-docs. Parallel sessions are foreseen,
and are being organised as the need arises.
This will be the 24th meeting in this series of annual international
multidisciplinary meetings, created in 1989 by Jean Tran Thân Van and
which has in the past covered many topics in physics, astronomy and
biology. All sessions take place in the Château of Blois, a beautiful
renaissance castle which has housed many French kings, and notably
François 1st. Meals are served in the castle to all participants, in
order to encourage interaction between scientists at all
levels. Participation is limited to about 150 persons.

The meeting will be articulated around the results and their impact on
current theories from the three major new experimental and
observational facilities which have recently been commissioned and are
producing new and exciting results:
- CERN's LHC
- the PLANCK satellite
- the HERSCHEL satellite
Topics will include:
- the Standard Model in particle physics, in new data and analyses
- the search for the Higgs boson
- theories of and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model
- heavy flavour physics
- neutrino physics (astrophysical and laboratory)
- dark matter, dark energy and recent advances in cosmology.
The detailed scientific programme is currently under development; if
you urgently need information which is currently not available on this
