Dear Colleague,

This is the first announcement of MC4BSM 2017, to be held at SLAC 
National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, CA, USA on May 11-­13, 2017.

MC4BSM is a series of workshops bringing together theorists and 
experimentalists with an interest in developing Monte Carlo programs to 
simulate collider signatures of Beyond the Standard Model physics, and 
in using such tools in phenomenological studies and in searches for new 
physics at energy frontier colliders. Since 2006, ten workshops have 
been held in this series, hosted in the USA, Switzerland, Denmark, 
Germany, Korea and China. The focus of MC4BSM 2017 will be: 1) to report 
new features and new developments of general-purpose Monte Carlo tools; 
2) to discuss new directions in BSM model-building; 3) to discuss the 
experimental needs from the LHC, from dark matter experiments, and from 
physics studies of future colliders; 4) to offer tutorials to PhD 
students, postdocs, and young faculty interested in using Monte Carlo 
tools in their research.

For further information please refer to the workshop website, where you 
can also find links to the previous editions of MC4BSM:

MC4BSM 2017 will include a limited number of contributed talks. The 
organizers encourage the submission of abstracts for 15-minute 
presentations. In selecting the talks to be presented, we will give 
priority to attendees who are in the early stages of their career.

We suggest participants to register and arrange for travel and 
accommodation as early as possible, especially if they need to obtain a 
Visa to enter the US. Since accommodation in the Silicon Valley can be 
very expensive, we also suggest to timely book a room at the Stanford 
guest house. We have a block reservation for participants to the 
workshop that expires on Feb 24.

The workshop will be followed by an ATLAS Support Center Meeting on May 
15-16. More information on this meeting can be found on the following 
website:

We look forward to your participation.


Sincerely,
The MC4BSM 2017 organizers
