Updated: 10/25/2008
We meet Fridays at 3:30 pm, but ONLY WHEN WE HAVE A SPEAKER, not every week. If you want to give a talk, if possible tell me at least 10 days in advance so we can get onto the weekly notices.
Students: you are welcome to attend any time, but please contact J. Wilkes in advance if you want to register for credit. Students registered for credit must contribute a presentation to the group.
This term we will continue to focus on the physics of neutrino oscillations. This is an alpha test for a new course concept: read this prospectus. Registered students will be expected to participate, if possible by making a short presentation. Any interested parties welcome! Students are invited to join, learn, and teach us what you have learned. Notes from past sessions are posted here.
If you gave a talk, write up your notes and send me pdf and tex (or Word) files to post. Be sure to include auxiliary files for figures, etc. If you need help with the mechanics of Latexing, see http://www.emerson.emory.edu/services/latex/latex2e/latex2e_toc.html .
You are strongly encouraged to maintain a website containing your own notes and links to references - best way to retain info for the future! To learn how, see http://catalyst.washington.edu/web_tools/simplesite.html. If you do create such a website, send me the URL so others can share your resources.
Add your contributions to the Neutrino Wiki Page (thanks to Kevin Connolly): http://staff.washington.edu/hbar/neutrino_wiki

Speakers:
If possible please send your talk's title to reception@phys.washington.edu no later than Tuesday of the week before your talk, i.e. 10 days in advance. (If you send your title later, it can still appear on the daily email list of seminars, but will not be on the weekly posters).
