Rare Pion Decay Workshop

6 Oct 2022, 08:30 → 8 Oct 2022, 18:00 US/Pacific

Cervantes and Velasquez Room (UC Santa Cruz)

Abraham Seiden (University of California,Santa Cruz (US)), Bruce Andrew Schumm (University of California,Santa Cruz (US)), David Hertzog (University of Washington), Jennifer Ott (University of California,Santa Cruz (US)), Simone Michele Mazza (University of California,Santa Cruz (US))

First edition of the Rare Pion Decay Workshop.

This Workshop is being generously supported by an award from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation through the APS.

 

Due to constraints of the workshop venue, in-person attendance is limited to 50 participants. Remote participation is also welcome beyond that number. 

 

Note: in person attendance is at the limit, however remote participants can still register.
