The U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory will host a town hall presentation on the 2025 National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report Elementary Particle Physics: The Higgs and Beyond from 2 to 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 19. The event is open to the Lab community and the public and will be held in the main conference room at the Science and User Support Center (SUSC, building 101).

This town hall provides an important opportunity for the particle physics community and the public to engage with the findings and recommendations from the NAS’ comprehensive long-range strategy for elementary particle physics. The discussion will cover key insights from the report and their implications.

Speakers will include committee co-chairs:

  • Maria Spiropulu, the Shang-Yi Ch'en Professor of Physics for the Division of Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy at the California Institute of Technology
  • Michael S. Turner, senior strategic advisor at the Kavli Foundation and the Bruce V. and Diana M. Rauner Distinguished Service Professor, Emeritus at the University of Chicago

Refreshments will be served following the presentation and Q&A.

No registration is required for this open-to-the-public event, but a Lab ID or Real ID-compliant identification is required for all attendees.
