Join us at the 2016 Gordon Conference on
*Photonuclear Reactions:*
*New Trends in Probing Quark-Gluon Dynamics*
*August 8-12, 2016 *at the Holderness School, Holderness, NH
*Program and application: http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=11906 *
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.
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.
The conference 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.
*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 at the University of New Hampshire,
on Thursday Aug. 4 - Saturday Aug. 6. A website for this workshop is
under preparation.
This is a great opportunity for young scientists to discuss career
options and pathways both in Academia & Research and outside. It is also
a great opportunity 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.

*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 winning posters
and as many selected posters as space allows
will remain on display throughout the conference to promote extended and
in-depth discussions.
*Conference Fees*
Single Room ($890) and Shared Room ($835) fees cover the cost of
registration, meals and rooming for GRC Conference participants.
Off-Site fees ($700) cover the cost of registration and meals only. It
is possible to also 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.
*Family support*
The Holderness School campus is quite family friendly, with a possibility
of limited 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. As you make your plans, please be
aware that only registered meeting participants can attend the technical
and poster sessions, and conferees should not plan for their children or
guests to accompany them to these portions of the meeting. All
registered guests are welcomed at meals and other social events.
