About us

The Latin American Symposium on High Energy Physics (SILAFAE) is one of the most important and traditional events on High Energy Physics in Latin America. Bringing together theorists and experimentalists to present the state-of-the-art of many different topics, it provides a major forum for the discussion of the latest developments in the field. Official SILAFAE site.

Summary

It will be held in the city of Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala, in November 14-18th 2016. The program contains plenary talks aimed at reviewing the status of the recent advances in frontier topics in High Energy Physics, both theoretical and experimental. It also includes specialized talks sessions of specialized talks. MCTP-SILAFAE site.

travel information

La Antigua Guatemala was founded on March 10, 1543. It is surrounded by Fuego, Agua and Acatenango volcanoes. The city was laid out in a square pattern, with streets running north to south and from east to west, and in its center the Central Park (Parque Central).

Designated, in 1944, as National monument and, in 1979, as World Heritage Site by UNESCO La Antigua Guatemala is one of the most important touristic centers of Guatemala. Not just for its cultural heritage, but also for the work of its artisans, the extensive sample of baroque architecture and the natural attractions.
