[RPC2024IOC] Fwd: Re: RPC 2026 workshop

Dear Pino and Rinaldo, Thanks for your support concerning our proposal. It will be a pleasure to be with you during the Santiago de Compostela conference. I look forward to seeing you there.

Rinaldo has already explained you the procedure. We will take note of your mail. Make sure somebody from your institute (hope you can join the conferenze in Santiago) can briefly present the initiative at the conference IAC in September. Of course I would be personally very happy.

In our organization, the choice of the next conference site is usually announced at the end of the previous conference. In our case this will be at the end of the second September week. Personally I am very happy of this proposal and hope that this will encourage a strong participation of Latin American groups. Hope to meet you in Santiago.

Our group has strong engagement with CMS-Muon-RPC Project, where I am deputy PM working together with Salvatore Buontempo and Gabriella Pugliese. I am writing to you because I would like to start preliminary discussions with you as RPC workshop International Board members, in order to draw a proposal for my home institute to organise the RPC workshop at Rio de Janeiro/Brazil on Sept 2026. Below, you can find a brief summary of information on our home institute and our group in CMS collaboration. Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ) is one of the main state public universities in Brazil, enrolling approximately 30,000 students, 2,000 faculty members and 6,000 staff members. It offers 40 undergraduate programs, unfolded in different qualifications, education, and bachelor courses. The university also boasts 92 graduate programs, divided into 54 master's degree programs and 38 doctorate degree programs. The Physics Institute at UERJ was founded in 1966. It currently has 407 students (80% graduate, 20% undergraduate), 77 faculty members and 26 staff members, in 4 main departments: High Energy & Nuclear Physics, Theoretical Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, and Applied Physics & Physics Education. The High Energy & Nuclear Physics department specifically holds 19 faculty members, 4 associate researchers, 2 full professors, 14 graduate students and 5 undergraduate students. The group is involved in several projects within the CMS/LHC experiment at CERN, both in collaboration for construction and maintenance of detectors (such as CASTOR, PPS and RPC) and in data analyses in several physics topics. Concerning our expertise regarding the organisation of international conferences, we have hosted a CMS Week in Rio de Janeiro(2017) and we also promote a traditional international HEP school, LISHEP [0], since 1993, when it was established by Prof. Alberto Santoro. This annual international event aims to contribute for the development of HEP community in Brazil and Latin America and to discuss main hot topics with speakers from different countries. We would also like to clarify some information about the organisation of previous RPC workshop: - Average numbers of participants in the last years - Minimum space required to host an RPC workshop - Maximum value of the fees - Typical length of the workshop (how many days) - what types of sessions are usually proposed Let me know if we can clarify those points above and we can draft a preliminary proposal to be available for the Internacional committee of RPC workshop.
