Many of the slides of the talks are available <a href=\"http:\/\/indico.cern.ch\/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=13975\">here.<\/a>  The talks covered a wide range of ground, from theory not obviously relevant to the LHC to reports on the status of experiments.  The talk by Michael Tuts of ATLAS reports that they may be roughly 5 weeks behind schedule, with nominal schedule setting the start of beam commissioning at 450 GeV late in November.  7 TeV beams won&#8217;t be available until summer 2008, with first physics run perhaps in July, and about 10-100 pb<sup>-1<\/sup> during 2008, giving similar statistics to what the Tevatron has today for some processes.  It looks like it may be the 2009 run that will most likely produce data that will go beyond the Tevatron results, although if the Higgs mass is about 150 GeV, there may be evidence in the 2008 data.  Plans for a luminosity upgrade in 2015 are already proceeding.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a plan for a meeting of the String Vacuum Project at the workshop, with a discussion paper available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.physics.rutgers.edu\/~mrd\/svp-mar07.ps\">here<\/a> (via their Wiki).<\/p>\n<p>This week, also down in Princeton, but at the IAS, there will be a <a href=\"http:\/\/math.ias.edu\/pages\/activities\/conferencesworkshops\/workshops\/workshop-on-homological-mirror-symmetry-and-applications-ii\/agenda.php\">Workshop on Homological Mirror Symmetry and Applications<\/a>, mainly devoted to recent work on geometric Langlands and its relation to mirror symmetry.  Since I had to teach I couldn&#8217;t make it down there today, so unfortunately missed the first talks by Kapustin and Witten, as well as that of Edward Frenkel, but I&#8217;m looking forward to going down tomorrow and maybe later in the week to hear some of the talks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week Princeton hosted a workshop on Physics at LHC: From Experiment to Theory.
