Symposium on Triggering Particle Physics Discoveries (WesleyFest)

Aug 30, 2019, 12:30 PM → Aug 31, 2019, 1:30 PM America/Chicago

2241 (Chamberlin Hall)

Anna Goussiou (University of Washington), Isobel Ojalvo (University Wisconsin Madison), Kevin Black (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Sabine Lammers (Indiana University Bloomington)

Please join us in honoring Professor Wesley Smith for a distinguished
career in experimental particle physics that spans investigations into
neutrino phenomena at Fermilab, deep inelastic scattering and
structure functions at HERA, and proton-proton interactions at the
LHC.   Wesley has been a leader in the field of triggering, designing
and commissioning electronics for calorimeter triggers for over three
decades.   His colleagues, former students and friends will gather in
Madison for a symposium that will review Wesley’s contributions to the
field.
