Tamura Symposium 2017: Lepton and Baryon Symmetry (attending)

University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas

May 8 – 9, 2017 in Peter O’Donnell Jr. Building (ACES) Room POB 2.402

Attending conference (not presenting)

Event information:

This year, the theme of this mini-conference will be “The Lepton and Baryon Symmetry”. The motivation for this focus are connections and experimental explorations by researchers at the University of Texas and the Osaka University, where we conduct experiments on neutrino oscillations and searches for neutrinoless double-beta decays and muon-to-electron conversion.

During the symposium we will cover the most recent results and both experimental and theoretical directions to explore global symmetries of the Standard Model: the lepton flavor, and baryon conservation. We will bring together a small group of experts in theory and experiment who will share their views on ongoing world results and trends.
