The next UNO International Collaboration Meeting will be held at
Keystone Resorts & Conference Center,
Keystone, Colorado. This meeting will include
one-day workshop dedicated to Proton Decays in Unification Theories
on Oct. 15 and a tour of the
Henderson mine on Oct. 16. The workshop, which is co-organized by
Edward Witten (IAS) and Chang Kee Jung (Stony Brook), is open to
non-UNO collaborators to participate. The Workshop is
sponsored by the Office of
the Vice President for Research of State University of New York
at Stony Brook and the U.S. Department of Energy.
While it is commonly recognized as one of the most
important discoveries to be made,
proton decay is often lost in a crack in usual conference and workshop
programs. So, this workshop is organized such that there can be an
one-day of concentrated discussion on the role of proton decay in all types of
unification theories beyond the traditional GUT models.
On Thursday Oct. 14 afternoon, we plan to have several experimental
talks on proton decay searches, which some of the theorists attending the
Unification day workshop may find interesting.
