Kruger 2010
December 5 - 10, 2010
Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa
published July 19, 2011
Six days of plenary talks and parallel sessions where some of the very latest experimental results from the LHC (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb), as well as topical beyond the Standard Model theories, will be presented. The surroundings of one of the worldʼs largest national parks, and the physics results presented during this workshop, will serve to inspire discussions between theorists and experimentalists on the latest LHC and Tevatron measurements as well as our expectations for the future.
