DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ryuichiro Kitano (YITP)\n\nParticle physics is at cr
 ossroads: the Standard Model is confirmed with unprecedented precision aft
 er decades of experimental explorations\, and yet it offers no explanation
  to some of the most profound scientific puzzles such as the nature of dar
 k matter and dark energy. Moreover\, past theoretical guiding principles s
 uch as naturalness have not bore fruit in experimental searches. Quo vadis
  particle physics?Pondering on the future\, we would like to gather a smal
 l group of theoretical and experimental experts in an informal setting to 
 evaluate the current state of affairs and devise future strategies\, all s
 urrounded by the natural beauty of Hokkaido in the winter.This is the 2nd 
 workshop of this series.(last one in 2024: https://conference-indico.kek.j
 p/event/248/)In this workshop\, we plan to devote a significant amount of 
 effort to the muon as a common thread between a very high energy collider 
 and other low energy precision tests of the Standard Model\, as well as th
 eir possible synergies. Wider theoretical/experimental topics on BSM (sear
 ches) will also be covered. Invited Speakers:So Chigusa (MIT)Takeo Moroi
