Phenomenology 2011 Symposium

9 May 2011, 07:30 → 11 May 2011, 18:20 US/Central

University of Wisconsin at Madison<br/>New Union South, 1308 West Dayton St

The 2011 Phenomenology Symposium will be held May 9-11, 2011 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
PHENO 11 will cover the latest topics in particle phenomenology and theory plus related issues in astrophysics and cosmology. Now that the LHC has begun its historic mission, we are all excited about the prospect of new discoveries!

PHENO 11 is over.
We hope you enjoyed the conference and your stay at Madison!

If not done so already, please don't forget to upload your slides for future reference.
See you next year at Pittsburgh!
