The annual Theory Meeting on Particle Physics Phenomenology and Lattice QCD (KEK-PH-LAT 2026) will be held at KEK between Dec 9th -11th, 2026. This meeting covers a broad range of topics in particle physics phenomenology, including cosmology, astrophysics, and lattice QCD. We aim to discuss recent developments and progress in these areas, as well as the latest results and the status of ongoing and planned experiments.
The meeting will include talks by invited speakers as well as short presentations by participants. All talks will be given in English. We aim to provide an opportunity not only for experts but also for master's and Ph.D. students to learn about current progress in particle physics phenomenology and related areas, and to engage in intensive discussions.
