The DarkSUSY Day

Monday 16 Jun 2008, 09:00 → 16:00 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.
