Bulletin #1

The International Seminar "Quarks-2014" is organized by the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences on June 2-8, 2014. "Quarks-2014" is the eighteenth in the series of seminars taking place biennially since 1980 in the Soviet Union and since 1992 in various historical and cultural places of Russia; the previous seminar, "Quarks-2012", was held in Yaroslavl.

The coming Seminar will take place near Suzdal, about 250km east of Moscow.

We plan to reserve time to visit the town with a guided tour of its historic monuments. We are sure you will appreciate one of the most beautiful places in Russia.

Despite of the Seminar's traditional name, the program of "Quarks-2014" is fairly broad and includes plenary sessions, meetings at sections and informal discussions on various problems of quantum field theory and particle physics, including:

• physics beyond the Standard Model (colliders, rare processes, higgs phenomenology, exotica);
• cosmology and astrophysics as related to particle physics;
• modern field theory, dynamics of strongly coupled theories;
• aspects of mathematical physics;
• physics of neutrino, neutrino oscillations;
• quantum chromodynamics, strong interactions;
• ultra-high energy cosmic rays;
• selected experimental results;

We expect that about 150 physicists will participate in the Seminar.
