Northwest Terascale Research Projects: Using jet substructure

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 Institute of Theoretical Science conference room, Willamette 472.

All talks are 40 minutes plus roughly fifteen minutes of discussion time. The talks are supposed to be springboards for discussions. We can move things around to allow for this as needed.
