<p><b>Join us at the 2018 Gordon Conference on Photonuclear
Reactions: From Quarks to Nuclei </b><br>
<br>
August 5-10, 2018 at the Holderness School, Holderness, NH<br>
Program and application: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
The conference is structured around invited morning and evening
talks, and poster sessions. 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.<br>
<br>
<b>Poster competition</b><br>
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.<br>
<br>
<b>Frontiers & Careers</b><br>
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 on this workshop will be available later, for now one
can get more information by emailing <a
