FLAINE 1976My first Moriond

My talk: “Exclusive Neutral Currents and e pairs at BNL”

THE MORIOND FORMATNew/preliminary results

Rubbia (W), Pearl (), …plenty of discussionsfrom ice skating to skiing!

My first downhill run Ice-skating and short skis for braking

Wow!

Extra: the 2-neutrino experiment (talk prepared in 1963)

MY MORIOND

The conference that shaped my lifeAll welcome: Students, Professors, Scientists, Engineers Prerequisites: a passion for science – and skiing!

ancient Greece: healthy mind in healthy bodyRewards: meet other scientists, make life-long friends

Meet Kim and Tran – and your hard work will be fun!
