====Symmetry Energy Journal Club: Fall 2011-Summer 2012 ====

We will be meeting once a week (meeting time and location: Thursday 1:30-2:30pm, Nuclear Seminar) to discuss recent papers and developments in symmetry energy.

A partial list of papers that discuss constraints on the symmetry energy can be found in /projects/hira/hodges/Constraints.xlsx
