Lattice Meets Experiment 2012: Beyond the Standard Model
26—27 October 2012, University of Colorado at Boulder
All talks will be held in the JILA Auditorium, most easily entered on the south side of the Duane Physics building (2000 Colorado Ave.). Weather permitting, coffee breaks will be held just outside the auditorium.
Color-coding denotes whether a talk is primarily experiment, phenomenology, or lattice oriented.
