Effective Field Theories for Collider Physics, Flavor Phenomena and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

10 Nov 2014, 08:00 → 13 Nov 2014, 18:00 Europe/Berlin

Schloss Waldthausen

This workshop is sponsored by the ERC Advanced Grant "An Effective Field-Theory Assault on the Zeptometer Scale: Exploring the Origins of Flavour and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking." It will be an excellent opportunity for a productive interaction of theorists and phenomenologists interested in applications of effective field theories. We intend to leave plenty of time for informal discussions.
