Wednesday 11 Feb 2015, 12:00 → 19:00 US/Central

Other Institutes

Joint theoretical/experimental HEP workshop focusing on physics with heavy flavor: identifying interesting signatures and how to tackle them in run 2. If you plan to attend please fill out this doodle poll: http://doodle.com/bisznq4c7viidsir.

The meeting will place in the physics building Loomis Laboratory, located at 1110 W. Green St in Urbana, in the Interaction Room 204.

There will be a catered lunch from 12-1 PM in the Interaction Room, and a dinner at Radio Maria from 6-7 PM. If you would like to attend either of these please fill out this doodle poll: http://doodle.com/4me96sd2vrzgcqih.
