The LHC has recently finished its 8 TeV run, which represents a factor of almost 5 times increased luminosity compared to the 7 TeV run and at higher energy.  After this the LHC will shut down for approximately 2 years to be upgraded fur running at even higher energies.  By late this summer most all preliminary analyses of the data from the 8 TeV run will have been released, and it represents a crucial turning point for the field of high-energy physics.  The earlier results of evidence for a Higgs-like particle will be considerably strengthened to the point where deviations, or lack thereof, from a SM Higgs will become statistically significant. Additionally, given that this represents the end of the 8 TeV run any preliminary deviations elsewhere from the SM or lack thereof will need a concerted effort by theorists and experimentalists to best plan the next steps.  Given the extended nature of the shutdown, new analyses based on the 8 TeV dataset can be performed and planning for the physics program at higher energies can be adjusted.  The SEARCH workshop will bring together a select group of theorists and experimentalists from ATLAS and CMS to address these challenges and plan for the future.

All talks will be held in the Simons Center Auditorium (Room 103 on the first floor).

Tea Time will be held at 3:30pm daily on the 1st Floor Outside Patio (go through the art gallery).

Transportation

Please click this link on directions to the Simons Center: https://scgp.stonybrook.edu/about/directions

Directions to the Danfords hotel (http://www.danfords.com/)
1) You can take a cab/limo from any airport. The address of the hotel is: 25 East Broadway, Port Jefferson, NY 11777. Cabs should be readily available at the airports. Some limos companies to reserve with are  Chris Dee Limo – (http://www.chrisdeelimo.com/) (631)979-3824, Spartan – (631) 928-5454, and Classic – (631) 567-5100.
2) The other option is the train, LIRR. Please see the above link for directions to the Center. Instead of taking the LIRR to Stony Brook station, you will take it to the end of the line, Port Jefferson. The hotel is about a mile from the train station. There should be cabs available, but here are two phone numbers just in case: Lindy’s Taxi (631)444-4444 and Islandwide (631) 331-5959.
