THIS Fall 2017
November 12, 2017
On November 10 and 11, after many years of talking about it, we finally had a first regional Texas Heavy-Ion & Spin physics symposium at our very own Rice campus. Within less than 2.5hr drive we have five institutes that are involved in heavy-ion and spin physics related research. Our goal is to bring graduate students and postdocs together and present their work to their peers in a friendly setting. Thirty-nine faculty, postdocs, and students showed up for this 2-day event and listened to sixteen very well prepared presentations. This was a great success and we hope next year to see a repeat of this. For more information go to THIS2017.
On the picture you can see all participants nicely lined up in front of the Brockman Hall for Physics. If you carefully zoom in on the column in the back you will see a bronze(!) event display of a Au+Au collision in the STAR detector.
