The Berkeley Symposium on Hard Probes and Beyond will be held at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory August 18-19, 2022. The symposium will focus on jet quenching as a probe of the structure and dynamics of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. Xin-Nian Wang will be the honored guest, in celebration of his 60th birthday.

In-Person Location: Perseverance Hall (Bldg 54-130) Inside Cafeteria in the back (type Perseverance Hall in the search box)
