We are very fortunate indeed to have such a lovely > locale for this year's congress and I hope to see you all there! Details > for this year's congress may be found at: http://www.upei.ca/~cap2003/ > > I am working on the program of the Particle Physics Division sessions > of the congress. I plan on having 4 half-day sessions (The Precision > Frontier, The Energy Frontier, Instrumentation and the Future of Particle > Physics, and Particle Astrophysics) with one afternoon free to > participate in the DNP Nuclear Astrophysics session. All of these > sessions will consist of a mixture of invited and contributed talks. We > will also have a plenary talk on the the Cosmic Microwave Background > given by Douglas Scott of UBC. > > I wish to invite you all to submit contributed abstracts for any of > these 4 sessions. Here is an excellent opportunity for students, postdocs, > and faculty to present their work to their Canadian particle physics > community. This year, we are attempting to institute a new (cash) award > for best graduate student presentation. I also want to draw your attention > to the fact that most universities also offer student bursaries to attend > conferences. > > Abstract submissions may be made until March 3, 2003 at: > > http://www.cap.ca/congress.htm > > I kindly ask you to also send me a copy of the talk title and abstract so > that I may keep track of the sessions. > > So, please pass this message on to students and colleagues! Encourage > your students to attend. > > See you in June! > > Manuella Vincter > Chair-PPD > > **************************************************************************** > Manuella G.
