Past Workshops & Meetings

Thursday, April 10, 2014 - 9:00am to Saturday, April 12, 2014 - 5:00pm

Lederle Graduate Research Tower (LGRT) 419B , U Mass Amherst

De Sitter and Anti-deSitter provide simple, yet rich, playgrounds for studying quantum gravity and quantum field theory. On the observational side, Planck has provided a data set with unprecedented accuracy concerning (what we believe to be) a primordial epoch of quasi-de Sitter expansion. The goal of the workshop will be to study what data can teach us about the fundamental properties of exact (anti) de Sitter spaces.

Hadronic Probes of Fundamental Symmetries

Thursday, March 6, 2014 - 9:00am to Saturday, March 8, 2014 - 5:00pm

Lederle Graduate Research Tower (LGRT) 419B , U Mass Amherst

Joint ACFI-Jefferson Laboratory workshop, with support also provided by U.N.C.-Wilmington.

The workshop will explore new opportunities for probing physics beyond the Standard Model and testing chiral symmetry in hadronic process.

Co-organizers: Liping Gan (U.N.C.-Wilmington/Jefferson Lab),
Jose Goity (Hampton U./Jefferson Lab),
Dave Mack (Jefferson Lab),
Michael Pennington (Jefferson Lab/William & Mary),
Michael Ramsey-Musolf (UMass Amherst)
