Seminar: Topics in String Compactifications and their Experimental Signatures – Overview

This seminar is offered by Dr. Sven Krippendorf and Prof. Dr. Dieter Lüst.

Organizational Meeting: 15.10.2019 16-18 (A348, Theresienstr. 37)

Times for talks: Friday 6.12.2019 14-18.30 (N110); Monday 9.12.2019 13-18.30 (A450)

The aim of this seminar is to discuss contemporary topics in confronting string theory with experiments. The topics are chosen broadly and hence allow an independent preparation.
