Soft Collinear Effective Theory Workshop 2011

6 Mar 2011, 08:00 → 8 Mar 2011, 18:00 US/Eastern

Giant Eagle Auditorium (Baker Hall A51) (Carnegie Mellon University)

Adam Leibovich (U. Pittsburgh), Ambar Jain (CMU), Ira Rothstein (CMU), Jui-Yu Mannie Chiu (CMU), Thomas Mehen (Duke University)

VIIIth Annual Workshop on Soft Collinear Effective Theory jointly hosted by Carnegie Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh.

 This workshop is the eighth in a series of annual meetings started in 2003. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in effective field theory applications to collider and heavy-flavor physics, and the interface with other field theory methods for studying QCD. In order to ensure an informal atmosphere with lots of discussion time, attendance is limited to about 60 participants.
