Banff Centre

Jens Dilling (TRIUMF)
Description
The Winter Nuclear and Particle Physics Conference is a national meeting for the Canadian subatomic physics community, with a special focus on providing a forum for junior researchers (students and postdocs) and interaction with groups across Canada. The 2020 meeting is being organised by University of Manitoba, Chairperson Blair Jamieson, and as usual will feature sessions focusing on the research areas of interest to the Canadian community (both experimental and theoretical). There will be a number of invited talks by experts in: Electroweak and Higgs physics Neutrino properties QCD and hadrons Physics beyond the Standard Model Nuclear structure Nuclear and particle astrophysics.
