Dear Colleagues,
Klaus Desch has asked me to call this announcement regarding the
Les Houches Workshop to your attention.

---------------------------------------------------------
Les Houches Workshop Physics at TeV Colliders will be the fourth in a
series whose aim is to bring together theorists and experimentalists
working on the phenomenology of the upcoming TeV colliders . The
emphasis will be on the physics of the LHC during its first few years
of running with a strong interplay between, on the one hand what has
been learned from the Tevatron and on the other hand how the next linear
collider could complement what will be learned from the LHC. The impact
of cosmology and astrophysics will be addressed. Themes to be covered in
the Workshop range from Quantum ChromoDynamics to the mechanism of
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking , notably Higgs physics , Supersymmetry,
the phenomenology of Extra-dimensions and Little Higgs models. The
interdependence between the signals from the New Physics and their
respective backgrounds will be stressed. Two Working Groups have been
set up covering these different aspects of the searches at the
colliders. The projects are to start in January 2005 and should be
completed by the end of the year 2005.
The meeting at les Houches, between May 2nd and May 20th , will be the
culminating point of the Workshop where, besides the Working Group
activities, a few lectures and review talks are planned. Participation
to the Workshop is open to all however due to space limitation in Les
Houches, attendance to the meeting is limited to 70 participants at any
given point. Due to the overwhelming response of the past three
sessions, this session is over a period of almost 3 weeks. Though we
expect some participants to attend the full duration of the meeting,
plans will be made so that a certain number of participants cover either
the first of second half of the meeting, allowing us to accomodate about
110-120 participants in total this time.
Les Houches Centre for Physics is located in the French Alps, about an
hour from Geneva and an hour from Annecy. The Centre has a tradition of
organising Schools, Workshops and Conferences for more than five decades
now and boasts an excellent library. For the purpose of this Workshop a
special computing system will be installed.
