WHEPP-X: Working group on Neutrinos, Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology

WHEPP-X

Working group on Neutrinos, Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology

The Tenth Workshop on High Energy Physics Phenomenology (WHEPP-X) will be held at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai during January 2-13, 2008. This page will contain information about the themes, talks and activities of the working group on neutrinos, astroparticle physics and cosmology. We will be updating this page regularly, as more information becomes available.
