Boosted Object Phenomenology, Reconstruction, Measurements and Searches at Colliders (BOOST 2024)

BOOST 2024 is the 16th conference of a series of successful joint theory/experiment workshops that bring together the world’s leading experts from theory and LHC/RHIC experiments to discuss the latest progress and develop new approaches on the reconstruction of and use of jet substructure to study Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and look for physics beyond the Standard Model.

This year’s edition is jointly organised by Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Genova, and Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) – Sezione di Genova. The conference will cover the following topics:

  • Searches for new particles (phenomenology and experiment)
  • QCD calculations and measurements in vacuum or in medium from any collision system
  • Jet reconstruction and calibration
  • Other aspects of hadronic final state reconstruction, such as pileup mitigation
  • New observables and techniques, including machine learning
  • Studies related to future colliders

This workshop will be held in Genova (Italy) from 29th July to 2nd August 2024. Registration and Abstract submission (for talks and posters) are now open at https://agenda.infn.it/e/boost24

Information about travel, accommodation and things to do in Genova can be found on the conference website. Early booking is recommended, as July – August is high season and Liguria is a very popular tourist destination.
