Northwest Terascale Research Projects:
Modeling the underlying event and minimum bias events
Schedule
The small size and informal nature of this workskhop allows us to revise the schedule as we go. Thus the information listed below is subject to change.
We will meet in the Center for High Energy Physics conference room. In addition, the Institute of Theoretical Science conference room will be available at most times for discussions among subgroups of us.
