Kaon 2005 International Workshop

June 13-17, 2005

Welcome!

The purpose of this workshop will be to bring together the latest experimental and theoretical developments on flavor physics with particular emphasis in the kaon system. Our community has finished a series of important measurements, and we need to develop a new generation of experiments that will have the precision to challenge our understanding of the standard model. In order to realize this potential, a close collaboration of physicists working in various subfields of high-energy physics - experiment, chiral perturbation theory, lattice QCD, CP-violation, lepton number violation and other sources of physics beyond the standard model - is necessary. The format is plenary talks only, and with a moderate number of talks each day to have time for lively discussions.

Travel and Financial Information

Location: TECH Building -- Northwestern University is located in Evanston, IL on the north side of Chicago.

Lodging: We have rooms reserved at Hilton Garden in Evanston and in the Club Quarters in Chicago. Other options include more expensive hotels in the Evanston area. 

Flying: Chicago has two airports (O'Hare and Midway). For inexpensive airfare, it is worth checking various web sites (Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline, Cheap Fares, Discount Airfare) or contacting a travel agent.

Directions to Northwestern : Directions for traveling from the airport or driving to the Evanston campus, and a list of shuttle services from O'Hare may be obtained by clicking the corresponding link. You may find the map of Northwestern's Evanston campus to be helpful in locating the TECH Building, which houses the Physics department.

Parking: The most convenient parking lot is the central parking lot. Do not park in the following Northwestern lots: Student Health, University Police, Central Utility Plant, Tech Institute lots and drives (which are within 30 feet of Tech), and Foster Walker complex. Parking on Evanston's city streets is not recommended as the "parking vultures" (parking enforcement) will ticket you.

Weather:  Temperature is expected to be between 60ºF (16ºC) and 80ºF (27ºC).  Rain is possible at some time during the week.

Food: Here is a great guide to Evanston area restaurants.

Time: Evanston is in the central time zone. Click here for the current time in Evanston or click here for a timezone converter. We have the same time as Indiana during the summer and different time during the winter.
