High Energy Theory Journal Club/Informal Meeting This journal club is for relatively informal discussion of topics that happen to be interesting us, and the topics listed are usually just rough topics, not titles. If you have ideas or suggestions, please let Sakura Schafer-Nameki know. These meetings are in 469 Lauritsen on the day and time listed below for each quarter (except when specially noted).
