Journal Club

Our journal club is an informal discussion for all members of the group, who are encouraged to bring along any interesting papers they have found. We use Benty-Fields as our online platform for suggesting and voting on papers, on which see 'Particle Cosmology - general journal club'. The journal club is currently held every other Thursday at 15:00 in CAPT room A113.

Journal club is currently run by Joonas Hirvonen.
