I’m blogging from the site of CHARM-2012 conference, which has just started in Honolulu, Hawaii. This is a fantastic conference at a fantastic place! The conference will have four full-packed days filled with many aspects of physics related to charmed quark. As I reported earlier, many exciting recent results are associated with charm quark.
Why is the conference taking part in Hawaii? Besides being a nice place in general, it is almost exactly half way between Japan and the US. This meeting alternates between Asian, US and European locations, and last meeting, in 2009, was in Beijing — so it is US’ turn. There will be many talks from KEK‘s Belle collaboration (which University of Hawaii is a member of), LHC experiments, as well as from Tevatron experiments. Besides, world’s only operating charm experiment (BES 3) is located in Beijing, China. Indeed, there would be many theory talks as well. It shapes to be a very nice conference — and I’ll be reporting about exciting results to be discussed here.
