[clas_members] a message from Marc Vanderhaeghen: Gordon Photonuclear research conference announcement

Wed Jun 8 04:14:55 EDT 2022

Dear all,
on behalf of Marc Vanderhaeghen, vice-chair of the Gordon Conference, I
share this announcement. Marc pointed out to me that students can still
apply for $500 support (directly on the google form), even if officially
the deadline has passed. It is a good occasion to attend a prestigious
conference for young researchers.
Best regards,
Silvia

Photonuclear Reactions is a forum for the presentation and
discussion of the most
recent and exciting results in a wide range of subatomic physics topics.
Since 1959,
the Photonuclear Gordon Research Conference has been a preeminent meeting
for the
discussion of new ideas and results, even at the preliminary stage,
providing ample
and unique opportunities for young scientists and leading researchers to
interact in
the most scientifically stimulating environment. Senior researchers and
younger
colleagues are housed on campus at the Holderness School, and can meet in an
informal, yet rigorous atmosphere. Participation from students and junior
researchers is particularly encouraged.

Topics for the 2022 conference are: New Results in Precision Hadron
Structure with
Electromagnetic Probes, Femtography of Hadrons, Electrons for Neutrinos,
Hadrons in
the Nuclear Medium, Low-Energy Precision Physics and Applications, Hadron
Spectroscopy, From QCD to Gravitational Waves, Nuclear Physics and Quantum
Information Science, Physics with an Electron-Ion Collider.

The conference is structured around invited morning and evening talks, and
poster
sessions. The afternoons from 1:30-4:00pm are left free to promote
discussions,
exchange of new ideas, and connections among colleagues, while also allowing
attendees to enjoy the many outdoor activities offered by the area.

Poster Competition

A poster competition will be organized at the beginning of the conference,
and the
best theory poster and experimental poster presenters will be rewarded
with the
chance to present their research in a short talk during the conference.
The posters
will remain on display throughout the conference to promote extended and
in-depth
discussions.

Conference Fees

The cost to conference participants for registration, meals, and a
single room is
$950 ($900 for a shared room). If you wish to stay off-site, the fee is
$750 to
cover the cost of registration and meals. It is possible to be accompanied
by one or
more guests for an additional fee. Even if you register at the off-site
rate, it is
anticipated that you will eat meals on-site with the other attendees. See [

A Satellite Workshop on Frontiers & Careers

A workshop on "Frontiers & Careers" for graduate students and junior
postdocs is
being independently organized just before and not far away from this Gordon
conference. This workshop is a great opportunity for young scientists to
discuss
career options and pathways both in academia and outside. It is possible
to meet and
connect with fellow young scientists beforehand, and then enjoy the Gordon
conference together. We strongly encourage our junior attendees to also
consider
participating in the Frontiers & Careers workshop. More information on
this workshop
is available at [

Statement on Coronavirus Outbreak

The Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) is continuing to monitor
developments related
to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and is working closely with the
conference
chairs to address the impact of the disease on their conferences. The
safety of our
attendees is always GRC’s highest priority and we will continue to monitor
the
situation. GRC’s management team and Board of Trustees will continue to
monitor the
situation, and post additional information in the months leading up to the
start of
the season.

GRC remains committed to our mission to advance the frontiers of science
and provide
an international forum for the presentation and discussion of frontier
research in
the biological, chemical, physical and engineering sciences, and their
interfaces.
Now more than ever, we look forward to continuing to carry out our mission.

The health and safety of our attendees remain GRC’s top priorities, and we
will:

    * require proof of COVID-19 vaccination and booster shot (for eligible
individuals) from all registered attendees and guests*,
    * continue to monitor all health and safety guidelines provided by the
federal
and state governments,
    * continue to work closely with our venues to take all necessary
precautions and
welcome our attendees back safely,
    * provide information about testing availability in the area of our
venues and
recommend that attendees bring their own COVID-19 at-home rapid tests,
    * and offer GRC masks and KN95 masks to all attendees.
