The 10th International Workshop on High Precision for Hard Processes at the LHC (HP2 2026) will be held at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) on October 5-9, 2026.
This series of workshops is devoted to high-precision studies of hard scattering processes at hadron colliders and beyond. The main themes are recent developments and new results for theoretical computations in quantum field theory and their applications to collider phenomenology. These topics are particularly relevant as the LHC experiments at CERN will be entering a new phase of precision measurements.
Topics:
- Precise predictions for Standard Model phenomenology and beyond
- New mathematical techniques for amplitude calculations and their automation
- Status reports, implications of current LHC results and prospects for future colliders
