August 5-10, 2018 at the Holderness School, Holderness, NH<br>
<br>
Program and application: <a

Deadline for registration is<b> July 8th, 2018.</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.
