SUPA Distinguished Visitor Lecture

Thursday, 17 May, 11:00 AM » 12:00 PM
Site event
"Experimental Status and Future of Generalised Parton Distributions" - two talks by Wolf-Dieter Nowak, DESY Zeuthen on 17 May and 24 May from 10:00 to 11:00 in all SUPA rooms.

Dr Nowak will present an overview of the existing data and experiments related to Generalised Parton Distributions as well as a look forward to future experiments and facilities.
