The idea is to gather together LHC experimentalists and theory colleagues to discuss possible developments for Run 3 and Run 4. In particular, we are interested in exploring if there are any new physics scenarios that we have yet to exploit, new developments that could enable new searches, and technical innovations to improve the sensitivity of measurements.
The format will be rather informal to facilitate the discussions. We plan on having theoretical overview of few physics areas and discuss new experimental techniques mainly impacting:
- Trigger
- Tracking/flavor tagging
- Machine Learning
although are open to any novel ideas!

The format will be rather informal to facilitate the discussions. We plan on having theoretical overview of the following physics areas:
- Precision — Higgs & SM (i.e. VBS)
- BSM direct searches
- BSM Higgs
- LLPs

The SLAC Summer Institute (SSI) is an annual two-week-long Summer School tradition since 1973. Lectures will generally be given in the mornings during both weeks. Afternoons include additional lectures and topical talks which alternate with discussion sessions, student project sessions and tours. Evening events include
poster sessions and social activities. SSI is especially targeted for graduate students and postdocs while senior researchers are also welcome.
The theme of the 2019 SLAC Summer Institute will encompass the broad landscape of flavor physics associated with quarks, charge leptons and neutrinos. Lectures will cover contemporary theoretical developments, current experimental results and future frontiers, as well as discussions of the various flavor puzzles and anomalies. The program will also include discussions of the fundamental origin of the Standard Model family structure and the prospects towards the next level of insight.

The 2018 SLAC Summer Institute celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Standard Model with a broad overview of the multiple successes and the various challenges that the SM still faces. In addition to a survey of the historical development of the different components of the SM, the contemporary theoretical and experimental framework of the SM will be reviewed with prospects of new horizon beyond it.

The theme of the 2017 SSI will be ''Cosmic Opportunities”, focusing on upcoming opportunities to expand our knowledge and understanding of the physics of the universe via cosmological measurements of CMB, Dark Energy, Dark Matter and Gravitational Waves. New fundamental observations are forthcoming from improved experiments and new frontier facilities. What do we hope to learn from this new information ?
Higgs Couplings 2016 is this year's installment of an annual workshop devoted to new experimental and theoretical results on the Higgs boson.
The theme of the 2016 SSI will be "New Horizons on the Energy Frontier", focusing on the Run 2 LHC, its upgrades and possible future e+e- and hadron colliders.
