PHENOEXP Workshop

The PHENOEXP Workshop – 2nd Edition (2026) follows the inaugural meeting held in Argentina in 2018 and continues its mission of strengthening the dialogue between phenomenologists and experimentalists engaged in the LHC physics programme, especially for researchers in South America.  By bringing together senior experts and early-career scientists from across the region, the workshop seeks to stimulate long-term collaborations and to reinforce the region’s scientific presence in high-energy physics. As the second edition in its current format, PHENOEXP 2026 represents an important step toward establishing a regular and enduring series of meetings.

Conceived as a focused forum for in-depth scientific exchange, the workshop aims to foster sustained and productive interactions between theory and experiment at a pivotal moment for the field. The scientific program will address key areas of contemporary high-energy physics, including Higgs physics, QCD and hadronic physics, flavor physics, and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) at the LHC and the forthcoming HL-LHC era. Particular emphasis will be placed on identifying current challenges, emerging opportunities, and strategic directions that will shape the next decade of research.

The 2026 edition will be held as a satellite meeting of ICHEP 2026, which will take place in Natal immediately beforehand. This timely connection provides a unique opportunity to capitalize on the international scientific momentum generated by ICHEP, while creating a more focused environment for in-depth discussions among researchers particularly engaged in LHC phenomenology and experimentation.

BOARDING PASS: All participants, whose travel has been provided or will be reimbursed by ICTP-SAIFR, should bring the boarding pass  upon registration. The return boarding pass (PDF, if online check-in, scan or picture, if physical) should be sent to secretary@ictp-saifr.org by e-mail.

Visa information: Nationals from several countries in Latin America and Europe are exempt from tourist visa. Nationals from Australia, Canada and USA are required to apply for a tourist visa.

Accommodation: Participants, whose accommodation will be provided by the institute, will stay at Hotel Intercity the Universe Paulista. Hotel recommendations are available here.

Power outlets: The standard power outlet in Brazil is type N (two round pins + grounding pin). Some European devices are compatible with the Brazilian power outlets. US devices will require an adapter.

Poster presentation: Participants who are presenting a poster MUST BRING A PRINTED BANNER . The banner size should be at most 1 m (width) x 1,5 m (length). We do not accept A4 or A3 paper.

Badge: You will receive an identification badge upon registration, which must be used during the entire event. Without the badge, it may not be possible to enter the venue.

Security issues: Although São Paulo is a relatively safe city, be careful when using cellphones on the street, avoid isolated areas at night, and be aware when crossing the street that cars may not stop for pedestrians. Also, please do not leave valuable items like laptops unattended even for short breaks. At the IFT-UNESP, there are storage lockers available and keys can be obtained with our secretaries.
