LHC Inverse Workshop
Wokshop Program
Here is a draft program. If your time is not appropriate please tell us. Some titles were guessed so don't hesitate to tell us to change yours, or add it if it is not there. There is room for a few more talks, but not too many since we want to have considerable time for discussions. If you already contacted us about a talk and we did not include it just remind us – it means we were disorganized, not negative.
Talks will take place in 340 West Hall, except that if talks are scheduled later Wednesday afternoon they will be in 335 West Hall since 340 will have a colloquium (on global warming). The workshop will otherwise be focused on the 3 rd floor of Randall Lab (attached to West Hall) where the MCTP and particle theory offices, and visitor offices, are located. The Oskar Klein Conference Room, 3481 Randall, will have coffee, juice, and snacks, and some chairs, throughout the meeting.
