5th Liverpool Workshop on Muon Precision Physics 2026 (MPP2026)

24 Nov 2026, 12:00 → 26 Nov 2026, 22:30 Europe/London

This is the fifth edition of  the Muon Precision Physics Workshop (MPP2026). 
The first edition of the workshop was held in 2022 (see here) to kick off a new muon physics programme in Liverpool funded through a Leverhulme Foundation award.  The aim of the workshop is to focus on the different activities of the muon programme in Liverpool, UK and worldwide and discuss possible plans and collaborations.

The workshop will start on Tuesday 24th afternoon and will finish on Thursday 26th evening. On Friday 27th there will be a RMCL2 working group meeting as satellite of this Workshop.

Attendance of the workshop is by invitation.
