Workshop on Tests of Gravity and Gravitational Physics, May

Post by Pascal Vaudrevange » February 03 2009

Dear colleagues,

we will be holding a workshop on tests of gravity and gravitational physics at
Case Western Reserve University from May 18 - May 21, 2009.
Please forward this announcement to people that may be interested in
attending.

Thanks,

Irit, Glenn, Pascal, Tanmay

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

Workshop on Tests of Gravity and Gravitational Physics
arrival in the evening of May 18 - May 21, 2009

CERCA
Case Western Reserve University
Cleveland, OH

--------------------------------------------------------

Gravitational forces are being tested over a vast array of scales, from
microns to Gigaparsecs, and many clever ideas have been proposed to test
quantum effects in curved spacetime in laboratory analogs. The purpose of the
workshop is to inspire theorists to propose further tests of both classical
and quantum gravitational physics, whether in the laboratory or in outer
space, experimental or observational, while also paying attention to the
experimental and observational implementation. This focused workshop will
bring together both theorists and experimentalists working on these topics.

There will be some space for contributed talks. Please watch the
