The state of particle physics at the end of LHC's first run.
The Latsis Symposium of ETH Zurich is a prestigious annual event under the auspices of the Latsis foundation. The 2013 symposium is a four days event that brings together leading experts from the world of particle physics to discuss the fundamental laws of nature at the new energy frontier explored by the Large Hadron Collider. It is organized by the ETH Zurich, the University of Zurich, the Paul Scherrer Institute and the Pauli Center.
