Berkeley School

Medium Properties, Chiral Symmetry and Astrophysical Phenomena

Nuclear Science Division
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory   

May 21 - 26, 2007       Perserverance Hall     (behind cafeteria)

This year will be devoted to the properties of hadrons in the medium, their relation to chiral symmetry and their implication for astrophysical phenomena. The school will be in honor of Prof. Gerry Brown.

The morning sessions will consist of one or two lectures followed by a moderated discussion. The afternoon sessions will continue with three contributing talks and moderated discussions. Please take note, there are limited funds available for support of students and post docs. Please apply early, as funds will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.
