SCET Club

The Fermilab SCET Club is a study group on soft-collinear effective theory. If you want to be added to our mailing list, please contact me at nierste@fnal.gov. We normally meet on Mondays at 2 p.m. in WH3NE (Conjectorium). For each session we study one (or more) papers with one  speaker explaining the key points at the blackboard and leading the discussion.
