XVII Mexican School of Particles and Fields 2016

The Mexican School of Particles and Fields (MSPF)  is organized every two years by the Division of Particles and Fields of the Mexican Physical Society. It is designed to complement the education of advanced graduate students and young postdocs working in High Energy Physics from Mexico and abroad. This year, the school will take place in the colonial city of San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, 890 km South-East from Mexico City, from the 21st to the 26th of November.

The format of the school will consist of several courses devoted to advanced topics in elementary particle physics, thought from a modern perspective, to be delivered by well known specialists in different areas of high energy physics. The school will also include theoretical and experimental review seminars on the latest developments in the field. A poster session will be included too, aimed to allow the participants to show their research results, and to enhance the interaction of the students with the speakers. Please, check this webpage frecuently to be aware of changes.
