The Latin American Symposium on High Energy Physics (SILAFAE) is an event with a tradition of over 25 years, that brings together the regional and international community of particle physics and related areas such as cosmology, gravitation and astroparticle physics. The conference has been the main regional hub for discussions on topics in the relevant fields, knowledge updates and the exploration of new ideas and perspectives towards the future. The event also promotes the expansion of regional and international cooperation as well as the professional development of young scientists and students.
This is the 15th edition of the SILAFAE series, which will take place in Mexico City, Mexico, at the beautiful campus of Cinvestav.
The conference format consists of a series of plenary and parallel talks covering a range of theoretical and experimental topics. Active posters sessions are also planned.
