Second Annual Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC) Meeting

October 16 - 18, 2000

The Second Annual Meeting of the Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC) was be held on Monday, October 16 through Wednesday, October 18, 2000. It took place at Danfords in Port Jefferson, NY, about 30 minutes from Brookhaven National Laboratory.

The meeting featured reports of the U.S. effort towards a post-LHC hadron collider. The program included an overview of physics in the 100 TeV c.m. regime, reports on superconductor and magnet R&D, as well as studies of accelerators and accelerator systems. The agenda also included a roundtable discussion of plans for future activities.
