40th SLAC Summer Institute

23 Jul 2012, 08:30 → 3 Aug 2012, 13:00 US/Pacific

Kavli Auditorium (SLAC)

Dong Su (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (US)), JoAnne Hewett (SLAC), Stefan Funk (SLAC), Thomas Rizzo (SLAC)

The SLAC Summer Institute is an annual event held at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in July-August. The Institute is a two-week-long Summer School. Lectures are given Monday through Friday each morning. The afternoons contain a mixture of topical talks, discussion sessions, and tours. In the evenings, there are social activities and  student poster sessions. The attendance is typically a mixture from graduate students to senior researchers. The theme of this 40th anniversary of the SSI is The Electroweak Scale - Unravelling the Mysteries at the LHC, in conjunction with the celebration of the Higgs discovery.
