CoPS/Nordita Theory Journal Club


This is our CoPS/Nordita Theory Journal Club. By calling it "CoPS/Nordita" we don't mean that only CoPS/Nordita members are allowed to attend.

The location is the CoPS room (A5:1041).

We do prefer if participants have at least read through the papers under discussion (though not necessarily all the background material)
