The Mitchell Conference on Collider, Dark Matter, and Neutrino Physics 2018

→ US/Central
Description

In association with the Physics Department at Sam Houston State University, the 2018 Mitchell Conference on Collider, Dark Matter, and Neutrino Physics will be held on May 21-23 at the George P. and Cynthia Woods Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy, Texas A&M University. The conference will focus on recent developments in the fields of collider, dark matter, and neutrino physics. The conference will be attended by experimental and theoretical experts from these fields, and plenty of time will be allocated for interaction, discussion, and collaboration.

Venue
Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas
Mitchell Institute (MIST), Hawking Auditorium

Internet Access
Guest internet instructions will be provided with your welcome packet. Some guests have had connectivity issues in the past, so we highly recommend that you setup Eduroam if your home institution supports it. The setup requires internet connection, so it needs to be done before hand. Once done it will allow you hassle-free internet access at more than 400 academic institutions around the US. Please contact your IT support for assistance.
