SF03 Cosmology Summer Workshop: Schedule        

The weekly focus of the workshop is typically one week for CMB, one for large scale structure, and one for the early universe. The ordering of the individual weeks is: CMB (first week), Large Scale Structure (second week), and Early Universe (third week).

All talks will be held in the Senior Common Room in the Peterson Student Center (see the Location page for more information). All morning talks will begin at 9:30. Since questions are encouraged during the review talks we expect these to take longer than a typical seminar -- we will take a 15 minute break about 45 minutes into the review. The review talks should finish up by 11:15 allowing time for informal discussion before lunch.

After lunch, we will begin at 1:00 with two technical talks of roughly 30 minutes each, and including time for discussion these should be done by 2:30. The directed discussion sessions begin at 3:00 and go on till the participants are exhausted (hopefully this will happen around 5:00 or so).

Following the practice established in SF99, there will be no talks on Wednesdays and Fridays will be half-days. (Unless there are strong objections, that is.)

A new feature of SF03 will be a public talk, ``The Quantum and the Cosmos'' by Rocky Kolb on Tuesday, July 22nd.
