Our mission is to host in-depth and unbiased overview talks on recent experimental/observational results of interest, given by experts in the field, to a broad audience of particle physicists and astrophysicists.

You can sign up to the HEP/Astro Results Forum mailing list by clicking here.

The zoom links for the talks will be sent via the announcement email of each talk. 

Below you will find a list of our past talks, and the slides - video recordings of recent talks (starting fall 2020) are also available.

Note that the HEP/Astro Results Forum used to be "The LHC Results Forum" before fall 2020. The name was changed to better reflect the breadth of topics covered in this seminar series. The talks before fall 2020 are listed here.

The HEP/Astro Results Forum is organized by: Spencer Chang (U. Oregon), Can Kilic (UT Austin), Nicholas Rodd (LBNL), Jessie Shelton (UIUC), Jure Zupan (U. Cincinnati)
