High Energy physics 

Objective of the Community

The community prioritizes joint student training, research collaboration, and capacity building through shared courses and seminars. It also supports developing expertise in detector and accelerator physics, including applications in medical physics, aiming to link research with industry. Modular training programs will provide flexible education tailored to students’ research interests. The community integrates with regional networks like CONHEP, LAA-HECAP, and the Central American HEP Network to enhance cooperation and infrastructure across Latin America. These efforts aim to expand scientific capabilities and participation in global research while addressing local educational and technological needs.

Tentative Lines of Work

The community has identified the following tentative lines of work:

• Research areas: detector physics, accelerators for Medical and High Energy Physics, Radiation protection in medical physics, high-energy labs and astronautics, Radiobiology in High-Energy Contexts, nuclear physics, High-Energy Radiotherapy and Hadron Therapy, quantum field theory, Numerical Simulation of Radiation Transport.
• Citizen science: implement science communication and outreach initiatives in schools and universities to build early interest in HEP.
• Institutional collaboration: strengthen connections with established groups such as the High Energy Physics Network of Central America, the Colombian Network on High Energy Physics (CONHEP), and LAA-HECAP to share best practices, speakers, and funding opportunities.
