Colleagues,

With interest building after the apparent discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson, doors are opening to a new range of questions and discussions. A collider with its clean and controlled collisions could be the key to future research.

The UCLA Physics & Astronomy Department will sponsor a workshop on the Higgs boson and the development of a Higgs factory collider. The meeting will be held at the UCLA Faculty Center on Thursday March 21 and Friday March 22, 2013. The workshop website is available here:

https://hepconf.physics.ucla.edu/higgs2013/

Topics to be covered include:

- Latest results from the Large Hadron Collider
- S-channel muon collider Higgs
- Factory status of muon cooling and collider research
- h⁰ factory, A/H factory
- Calculations of the Higgs branching ratios

Abstracts are now being accepted. Registration for the two-day workshop will begin in December 2012. We invite you to forward this message to anyone who may be interested in participating.

Sincerely,
David B. Cline
on behalf of the Organizing Committee
