Frontiers of Nuclear/Particle Physics

Friday, October 28, 2011: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
Ballroom I (San Jose Marriott Hotel)
Chair:
David Ernst, PhD, Professor, Vanderbilt University

Description: Examples of nuclear and particle physics at the cutting edge are presented. These include the search for supersymmetry at the LHC, neutrinos and their oscillations, new results using cold and ultra-cold neutrons, and understanding nuclei in the very neutron rich region.
