The Physics of the Sun and the Solar Neutrinos: 2nd

4 Oct 2010, 08:30 → 5 Oct 2010, 19:00 Europe/Rome

Majorana conference room (INFN - Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso)

The Workshop will take place at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of INFN in Assergi (Italy) from October 4th to 5th 2010. The Workshop program will focus on the physics of the Sun with discussions on Standard and "Non-Standard" Models. The program will also focus on solar neutrino observations and on solar neutrinos as a probe for neutrino physics and solar physics. The scientific program will consist of plenary sessions with invited speakers.
