The DarkSUSY Day

Monday Jun 16, 2008, 9:00 AM → 4:00 PM Europe/Stockholm

FB51 (AlbaNova)

A day with lectures on the various bits and pieces of DarkSUSY, a tool for calculating relic densities and various detection rates of supersymmetric dark matter. There will also be hands-on sessions with training.
