1st mini workshop on R-parity violating supersymmetry

28 janv. 2010, 08:00 → 29 janv. 2010, 20:00 Europe/Paris

Salle 5 (LSPC Grenoble)

Benjamin Fuks (IPHC Strasbourg), Ingo Schienbein (LPSC Grenoble)

This is the first of a series of workshops on R-Parity violation supersymmetry. Each workshop will be divided in talk sessions in the morning and working sessions in the afternoon and will try to address various important questions for RPV supersymmetry.
