Theoretical high energy physics journal
club 2010/2011
We meet every Friday in room D1-240 at 3:15pm. The aim is to
keep each other up to date concerning the latest developments in the field,
and to find out how other physicists view the world. The plan is to have an
informal summary of the paper(s) that the speaker finds interesting, followed
by a discussion. Both should not exceed 45 minutes in total. Suggestions of
articles to be discussed are welcome!
It may happen that you find an interesting article that you would like to
recommend the others, but there is no time to discuss it at the journal club. For such situations,
we would like to keep a list of new papers that might be of general interest. Please do send us
your suggestions.
