Alliance Top Quark Workshop 2012

22 Mar 2012, 12:00 → 23 Mar 2012, 13:30 Europe/Berlin

0'101 (Berlin, Germany)

The Alliance Top Quark Workshop 2012 aims at theoretical and experimental physicists active in the area of top quark physics. A focus is set on current topics, such as
• charge asymmetries • spin correlations • differential distributions • boosted top quarks • single top
Comprehensive overview talks will be given by experts in the field summarizing the current status in theory and experiment.
A series of additional talks will complete the topical sessions including ample time for discussions.
