Name Description
The listing of future scheduled NPP talks is given below. Old announcements of NPP seminars are also available by clicking here.
The purpose of the NPP series is to provide an informal regular forum for those interested in Nuclear and Particle Physics (NPP) and broadly related subjects, to meet and talk about their work, across the divisional and administrational boundaries which all too often divide us.
The NPP talk is not intended to be another technical seminar. It is more important in the NPP venue to convey the goals and intrinsic interest of one's research to a general audience, rather than attempt to give technical detail suitable only for experts in the area. Accordingly, speakers are asked to limit their presentation to a maximum of 20 min., allowing another 10 min. for questions and discussion.
Topics are not necessarily limited to Nuclear and Particle Physics, and in fact, some of the best attended and most interesting talks in the past couple of years were those given by people outside the NPP area. All are welcome to join us.
The location alternates between TA-53, LANSCE, Rm. A234 and TA-3, Theoretical Div., Rm. 121 in order to draw upon both an experimental and theoretical audience. Generally, experimental talks are held in T-Div., while theoretical talks take place at LANSCE.
The time of the NPP meeting is Friday afternoons at 4 pm., close to the end of the day, and beginning of the weekend. Coffee, tea and cookies or donuts are provided each week.
The following people have agreed to act as NPP coordinators in their groups and areas of interest:
Automated e-mail announcements of NPP talks are sent out on Tuesday and Friday mornings of the week of the talk. Send e-mail to npp-admin@gita.lanl.gov if you would like to be added (or deleted) from our automated e-mail list. Alternatively, you may contact one of the NPP coordinators above, especially if you would like to give an NPP talk, know of someone (such as a visitor or collaborator) who would like to give a talk, or are interested yourself in acting as a NPP coordinator for your group or subfield of interest.
