William and Mary Autumn Workshop
``New Ideas Beyond the Standard Model''
October 8-October 10, 2005
October 8-October 10, 2005
Introduction
The Physics Department at the College of William and Mary will host a workshop on New Ideas Beyond the Standard Model. The topic includes new ideas in electroweak symmetry breaking, extra dimensions, strings and cosmology. The workshop has been scheduled to include the Columbus Day holiday so as to minimize scheduling constraints of participants. Autumn is also a wonderful time to visit the Williamsburg, Virginia area, and there are many activities available locally for families.
We plan to have four or five talks daily, with plenty of time for informal discussion and collaboration. To encourage this informality, attendance will be limited to 40 participants.
