Naturalness 2014 - satellite

12 Nov 2014, 09:00 → 13 Nov 2014, 20:30 Israel

Drory Auditorium (Weizmann Institute of Science)

This is a 2-day satellite workshop, immediately preceding the Naturalness 2014 workshop (https://indico.cern.ch/event/290373/). It will cover a variety of topics related to beyond the standard model physics.

Registration and possible accommodation arrangements (at the same hotel in Tel Aviv as the main workshop) can be done through the registration form of Naturalness 2014. There is no registration fee.

The workshop will be held at the Weizmann Institute, in Drory Auditorium which is inside Weissman building (Physics) -- #59 on the campus map http://www.weizmann.ac.il/campus_map/. Transportation from the hotel will be provided. (Please note that the main Naturalness 2014 workshop will not be held in the same building!)
