Description

 

 

James D. Bjorken (1934-2024) was a giant of theoretical physics.  Beyond his original contributions to all aspects of particle physics, Bj personified the idea that progress in physics is driven by the pure joy of exploration.   This symposium brings together many of Bj's friends and colleagues to review his life and work.

Speakers will include:   Helen Quinn, Fred Gilman, Stan Brodsky, Chris Quigg, Sekazi Mtingwa, Cyrus Taylor, Davison Soper, Larry McLerran, Natalia Toro, and members of Bj's family. 

The meeting will be web-cast at the following Zoom link:

If you plan to attend in-person, please note this on the registration form.

 

Please note that, on the previous day, Nov. 8, SLAC will host a symposium celebrating the 50th anniversary of the J/psi discovery.  For details, see
