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. </font></div>

<div class="gmail_default"><font color="#000000"
face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Topics for the
2016 conference are: Hadron spectrum and QCD; Long
range hadron structure; Nucleon spin structure;
Parton structure of nucleons and nuclei; Few and
many nucleon systems; Standard model and new
physics with photon-induced and electroweak
processes; Neutrino Physics; New results in QCD
theory; Future facilities and directions. </font></div>

is structured around invited morning and evening
talks, and a late afternoon poster session. The
afternoons are left on purpose free to promote
discussions, exchange of new ideas, and
connections among colleagues, while enjoying the
many outdoor activities offered by the area. </font></div>
