Description

The University of Mississippi is proud to host the 2024 Belle II Summer Workshop.

This workshop will be primarily face-to-face with a SpeakApp connection for those who are unable to attend in person. You can join virtually through the following link: https://speakapp.link/to/TgIphA

The purpose of this workshop is to give students, postdocs, and more senior researchers the tools and knowledge needed to get started and make progress on Belle II physics analysis and performance studies. Topics will include Belle II physics, software, and computing in a hands-on tutorial format.

This workshop is open to all Belle II collaborators and we welcome attendance from across the collaboration.

If you would like to give a flash talk or an "elevator pitch" please sign up via this form: https://forms.gle/fMkbSm7ykCQDVAmP9

      Tour of Oxford and drop off on the square for dinner on your own
    • Outing to William Faulkner's house

      We will meet at the University of Mississippi museum (University Ave & S 5th St) and walk along the Bailey Woods trail, which is a little less than 1 mile (https://www.rowanoak.com/about/bailey-woods-trail), to Rowan Oak, the historic home of William Faulkner. If you'd rather not walk the trail, you can meet us at Rowan Oak (916 Old Taylor Rd). Note that parking is limited there. We will get a tour of the house before walking back to the University. Make sure to pack your walking shoes!
