The 8th annual Large Hadron Collider Physics conference Dear Colleagues,

we are pleased to announce the eighth annual Large Hadron Collider Physics (LHCP2020) conference will take place fully online in the originally scheduled window from 25th to 30th May 2020.

Scientific programme

The LHCP conference series began in 2013 as a successful fusion of two international conferences, "Physics at the Large Hadron Collider Conference" and the "Hadron Collider Physics Symposium".

The programme will contain a detailed review of the latest experimental and theoretical results on collider physics, with results of the Large Hadron Collider Run II (LHC at CERN, Geneva), and discussions on further research directions within the high energy particle physics community, both in theory and experiment.

The main goal of the conference is to provide intense and lively discussions between experimenters and theorists in such research areas as the Standard Model Physics and Beyond, the Higgs Boson, Supersymmetry, Heavy Quark Physics and Heavy Ion Physics as well as to share recent progress in the high luminosity upgrades and future collider developments.The program includes 12 plenary and 8 parallel sessions as detailed in the Figure below.

Parallel and plenary sessions

Parallel and plenary sessions will take place virtually in Zoom webinars. The links to the webinars are available in the indico agenda. The passwords for connecting to the meeting will be mailed to the participants.

People will be muted and without video when joining. Video will be reserved for speakers and session chairpersons. The questions the end of each talk will be taken with the Zoom raise-hand option accessible in the participants window. We ask the participants to wait for the talk end before raising their hands. Questions can be also submitted via the chat box but it is a bit more cumbersome. The session chairpersons will invite the person(s) who raised their hands or sent the request in the chat box to ask their question.

The sessions will be recorded and the recordings will be uploaded to CDS after the conference is over. Speakers who do not want to be recorded should inform the session chairs before their session; the recording will be paused during their presentation.

We suggest that the speakers (on voluntary basis) include in their slides a link to a Zoom meeting created by themselves (with the same password as that of their session). In this room they can meet the interested participants to have a direct chat after their session and answer more questions.

Webcast

Attendance on Zoom is limited to 500 participants on the first come first serve basis. To allow more persons to attend the plenary sessions, the sessions will be retransmitted also on webcast. The webcast link will be available on the indico agenda. Participants that follow the talks on webcast can raise their virtual hands to ask their questions using discord.com web-chat application (additional information will be provided by email to the registered participants) at the end of each presentation.

Poster sessions

Two poster sessions of one hour each are scheduled for the afternoon of Thursday 28th May and the morning of Friday 29th May, so that authors from all over the world can connect to at least one session to present their poster. Authors will connect to their own virtual zoom and be available for questions and

explanations. The links to the zoom meeting rooms will be available in indico, as well as the pdf of the poster. The authors are also encouraged to pre-record a 3-minute long video explaining their poster and upload it to the cloud and link it to the indico agenda.

Posters contributions will be included in the proceedings.

Prizes for the top posters will be awarded.

Proceedings Conference proceedings in electronic form with online open access will be published in PoS. Poster contributions will be included.
