====================================================================

Dear colleagues,

Jefferson Lab will host the "Light Cone 2018" Conference from May 14
to 18, 2018:

https://www.jlab.org/conferences/lightcone2018/

This will be the latest in the series of conferences that, beginning
in 1991, have played an important role in promoting research towards
a rigorous description of hadrons and nuclei based on light front
quantization methods.  The aim of this meeting will be to create a
scientific program that will stimulate developments in research at
the forefront of nuclear, hadron and particle physics research.

In particular, Light Cone 2018 will focus on the following physics
categories and methodologies:

Physics Categories
   * hadronic structure
   * meson and baryon spectroscopy
   * parton physics
   * finite temperature and density QCD
   * few- and many-body physics

Methodologies
   * light-front field theories
   * lattice field theory
   * effective field theories
   * phenomenological models
   * present and future facilities

We would like to invite you to attend the conference and join the
lively scientific program that we anticipate.  If you are interested
in attending, please fill out the registration form on the conference
website, or directly at:

     https://misportal.jlab.org/Ul/conferences/generic_conference/registration.cfm?conference_id=LIGHTCONE-2018

Abstracts for contributed talks may be submitted via the indico page:

      https://www.jlab.org/indico/event/252/

choosing "Submit an Abstract" in the left menu.  If you do not have a
JLab-indico account, you can create one via the website.

We would also like to draw your attention to the Gary McCartor Award:

      http://www.ilcacinc.org/newsFell18NomR2.pdf

which is open to students and young scientists.  Successful nominees
will receive a travel allowance and the opportunity to present their
work at the conference (see link for further details).

All other information related to visas, accommodation, and travel
arrangements can be found at the conference website.

We look forward to seeing you at Jefferson Lab!

Best regards,

the LC2018 Local Organizing Committee:
