The 23rd Hadron Collider Physics Symposium 2012 kicks off today in Kyoto, Japan. The meeting will showcase the latest results from CERN's Large Hadron Collider, Fermilab's Tevatron, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Lab, and the Hadron-Electron-Ring Facility (HERA) at DESY in Germany.
The conference programme includes sessions on supersymmetry and exotic particles, as well as top-quark- and heavy-ion physics. Sessions on Wednesday and Thursday will include the latest updates on the analysis in the search for the Higgs boson.
