Deadline for registration is*July 8th, 2018.*

​Photo-nuclear 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 Photo-nuclear 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 2018 conference are:  Nucleons in Nuclei, QCD for 
Neutrino Physics, Movement of Partons in the proton, Innovative Tools 
for the Study of Hadrons, Hadron Spectrum and QCD, Imaging the Proton in 
3D, Long Range Structure of Hadrons and Origin of the Proton Mass.

The conference is structured around invited morning and evening talks, 
and  poster sessions. The afternoons are left free on purpose  to 
promote discussions, exchange of new ideas, and connections among 
colleagues, while enjoying the many outdoor activities offered by the area.

*Poster competition*
A two-day 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.

*​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 
& Research 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 
about the Frontier and Careers  workshop is attached to this email.

*Conference Fees​*
​Single Room ($910) and Shared Room ($860) fees cover the cost of 
registration, meals and rooming for Conference participants. Off-Site 
fees ($720) cover the cost of registration and meals only. It is 
possible to be accompanied by one or more guests for an additional fee. 
If you register at the Off-Site rate, it is anticipated that you will 
eat meals on-site with the other conferees. See

possibility of accommodation in a separate dormitory. Please contact us 
if you wish to be accompanied by your children and family, and we will 
do our best to accommodate your needs.

*​Financial Support*
Limited but substantial support is available to help defray the 
registration or travel costs, with special consideration will be given 
to students and postdocs also participating to the Frontiers and Careers 
workshop.  Inquire with the conference Chairs about this opportunity.
