Brookhaven Forum 2010

A Space-Time Odyssey

Registration is now closed...

Scope & Purpose

Brookhaven Forum (BF) 2010 will be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY, USA, May 26-28, 2010. Assessment of the status of the LHC experiments and the early data from them will be one of the main purposes of this event. Key results from Fermilab will also be reviewed. A substantial part of the agenda will be devoted to new developments in laboratory experiments and astrophysical observations that are relevant to outstanding questions in cosmology.

Talks will be scheduled in both plenary and parallel sessions. We hope that the discussions at BF2010 will be a prelude to a new era of scientific discoveries that will revolutionize and deepen our understanding of Nature.
