Tau2016"The 14th International Workshop on Tau Lepton Physics"
Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing, China
September 19 – 23, 2016
FIRST BULLETIN

1. Place and DateThe "International Workshop on Tau Lepton Physics" (Tau2016), will be held at Institute ofHigh Energy Physics (IHEP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, from Monday,
September 19 to Friday, September 23, 2016. This is the fourteenth workshop of this series
devoted to physics of the τ lepton and its associated neutrino. The goal of the workshop is to gettheorists and experimentalists together to discuss recent progress in τ lepton physics. New resultsin τ from high energy machines, low energy machines and B-factories will be presented as well as
recent results from g-2 and neutrino oscillation experiments. The program also includes related
subjects such as hadron cross section measurement at e+e colliders, searches for Lepton Flavour
Violation in μ decays and review talks on the future experiments.
