Scientific Program

Printer friendly version of program in pdf format.

The conference will consist of plenary talks with no parallel sessions foreseen. Conference sessions will be held in Rangos Auditorium at the University Center on the Carnegie Mellon Campus. Coffee breaks will take place in an adjacent room. In addition, sit-down luncheons will be served on-site to allow for more discussion and scientific exchange among the conference participants.

This is the final version of the scientific program for Beauty 2003. For the given times of presentations, 20 min means 17+3 min, 25 = 20+5, 30 = 25+5, 45 = 35+10.

Electronic versions of the presentations have been added. We make the original format available and made an attempt to convert into pdf if a pdf version of the talk was not provided.
