Particle Physics Seminar Programme2016–2017 |
Welcome to the University of Birmingham Particle Physics group seminars page.
Particle Physics Seminars are held on Wednesdays at 1:30pm
in the Poynting Small Lecture Theatre (room S06).
The Poynting Building is at R13 on the
campus map.
Tea, coffee and biscuits are served at 1:15pm.
