<br>
<b>Registration is opened. The full schedule is online.</b><br>
<br>
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.<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 free on
purpose 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 about the Frontier and Careers workshop is
attached to this email. <br>
<br>
<b>Conference Fees</b><br>
Single Room ($910) and Shared Room ($860) fees cover the cost
of registration, meals and rooming for Conference participants.
