The 11th International Workshop on Tau Lepton Physics, Tau 2010, will be held at the University of Manchester, UK, from September 13th - 17th, 2010.

1. Aims of the Workshop

This will be the eleventh in a series of biennial international Workshops, whose goals have been to provide a relatively informal opportunity for experimentalists and theorists to report and discuss the latest results in tau physics and related topics. The previous workshop took place in 2008 at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk.

2. Registration

Registration is now open at the Workshop web site: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/Tau2010, where other details about the Workshop are available.

The deadline for registration, to guarantee accommodation in the recommended hotel, is 6 August 2010.

Any enquiries about the Workshop may be sent to tau2010@manchester.ac.uk

Limited funding may be available to provide some support for students and young researchers who may otherwise be unable to attend the Workshop. Those who wish to be considered should send an email to tau2010@manchester.ac.uk

3. Scientific programme and submission of abstracts

All talks will be plenary, by invitation. Potential speakers, and anyone wishing to present a poster, are asked to send an abstract to tau2010@manchester.ac.uk. The spokespersons of the large experiments will be be contacted with invitations for delegates to present their latest results.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 23 July 2010.

Topics to be covered at the Workshop will include:

 - Static properties of the tau
 - Tests of lepton universality
 - Semihadronic tau decays, QCD and alpha_s
 - Strange tau decays, |Vus| and the strange quark mass
 - Decays of heavy quarks to tau
 - CP violation in the tau sector (SM and BSM)
 - Lepton-flavour violation
 - Muon and tau magnetic moment anomalies
 - Neutrino physics
 - Tau production and decay at hadron colliders
 - Prospects for tau physics
 - Poster session on all aspects of tau physics
