TALENT / INT Course on Nuclear Forces

Schedule

Here is the planned schedule for the principal lectures. The first lecture each day will be from 9am-10:30am and the second from 11am-12:30am.

We meet again at 2pm for discussion and problem sessions. Student presentations are scheduled for two morning slots in the third week plus some 2pm-3pm periods on the second and third weeks.
