The 2024 International Workshop on Future Tau Charm Facilities

      The 2024 International Workshop on Future Tau Charm Facilities (FTCF2024) will be hosted by the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in Hefei, China on Jan. 14 - Jan. 18, 2024. The workshop is the 5th in the series of workshops on future tau charm facilities that began in 2018.

      In the field of particle physics research, the tau-charm energy region has unique properties, rich frontier physics topics, and great potential for scientific discoveries.  The next generation of tau-charm facility projects have been proposed and extensively discussed. With two orders of magnitude higher in luminosity than the currently operating Beijing electron-positron collider (BEPCII), and twice the energy range, the facility will provide a key platform for deepening the study of the internal structure of hadrons, searching for exotic states, and understanding the nature of non-perturbative strong interactions, exploring the asymmetry of matter-antimatter in the universe (CP violation),  and probing new physics beyond the standard model. The construction of the accelerator and the detector of the facilities will challenge many of the world's cutting-edge key technologies. The workshop will be dedicated to discuss the highlights of physics in tau-charm energy region, and the key technologies in accelerator and detector. 

     The main topics of the workshop include:

• Hadron spectrum and hadron structure
• Flavor physics and CP violation
• New particles and forbidden / rare processes search
• Status of current experiments and their upgrades
• Future facilities
