Class Projects for Physics 152/252, Spring 2003

Date:  Wednesday, May 28

Each student will give a short (~10 minute) presentation on a paper in particle physics (your choice).

Let me know which paper you would like to do, so we don't have duplications.
Also, let me know if you want to report on a paper besides those listed below.  
[e-mail: lance@DUMMY_NAMEslac.stanford.edu; telephone: (650)-926-2627]

The idea is to summarize the gist of the paper, not to worry about the details!
