26th International Conference on Computing in High Energy & Nuclear Physics

Welcome to the website of the 26th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics.

The CHEP conferences address the computing, networking and software issues for the world’s leading data‐intensive science experiments that currently analyze hundreds of petabytes of data using worldwide computing resources. The Conference provides a unique opportunity for computing experts across Particle and Nuclear Physics to come together to learn from each other and typically attracts over 500 participants. The event features plenary sessions, parallel sessions, and poster presentations; it publishes peer-reviewed proceedings.

The focus of the conference evolves with time to highlight changing technologies and major scientific initiatives. Through the plenary sessions, related scientific and computing topics are presented to ensure a broad and thoughtful program that engages the community. This edition of the conference will place special emphasis on high-performance data organization, management, and access (DOMA), a topic of interest and relevance throughout the scientific community.

The nine parallel session tracks focus on specific topics and often have very animated discussions on the technical merits of various approaches. Birds of a feather sessions promote international communities of common interest. 

The CHEP 2023 organizers are committed to fostering a supportive and diverse environment with opportunities for everyone. We take a positive attitude towards having full participation from the whole community and everybody in the field is encouraged to attend. Attendance of students at CHEP 2023 is strongly encouraged. A diversity event will be scheduled. 

The CHEP conference location rotates between the Americas, Asia and Europe, and is typically held eighteen months apart. The CHEP 2023 conference will be hosted by the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) at the newly renovated Norfolk Marriott Waterside hotel in Norfolk, Virginia.

The conference will be held from Monday, May 8, 2023, through Friday, May 12, 2023. For the most up-to-date travel guidelines, please reference https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/international-travel-during-covid19.html.
