The "USA-Italy Workshop on Dark Forces” will take place in downtown Rome, Italy, on Oct. 24th to 26th, 2016. The main scientific aim of the workshop is to bring together the American and European communities, and in particular in Italy, in the rapidly growing field of experimental searches for new force carriers, dark photons, in the MeV-GeV mass range.

The workshop is supported by the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), in the framework of bilateral Italy-USA scientific projects of wide interest - PGR-00226, CUP I86D16000060005
