General Information

The 2022 edition of the International Conference on Kaon Physics will be hosted by Osaka University, Osaka, Japan, from September 13th to 16th, 2022. This conference continues the KAON series which was originated in 1988 and offers opportunities for theorists and experimentalists from the high-energy physics community to discuss all aspects of kaon physics.

Scientific Program

The organizers aim to have a stimulating mix of presentations on experimental and theoretical particle physics covering recent results, current status, future plans of experiments, and new developments.

The program covers all aspects of kaon physics:

  • CP and T violation
  • CKM matrix and flavor mixing
  • Rare decays
  • Precision Standard Model tests
  • CPT and quantum mechanics
  • Lepton universality and flavor violation
  • Theory
  • Physics beyond the Standard Model
  • Future opportunities in kaon physics

The organizers aim to create an informal atmosphere among participants, with plenty of opportunity for discussions and developing contacts. All of the sessions will be plenary sessions. We welcome and encourage participation of all High Energy Physics experimentalists and theorists from graduate students to senior researchers.

To accommodate those who cannot participate in person, the conference will adopt hybrid style. Details will be available in future bulletins.

Registration

Participants will register by means of an online form available at the conference website after April 18th. The registration fees will be announced for various cases.
