We encourage participation of students and postdocs in the form of contributed talks (15-20 min). We will waive the registration fee and reimburse part of their travel expenses (up to ~$500). Please inform interested people in your group/department about this opportunity. They will need to submit a title and an abstract of their presentations to us (skdoorn @ lanl.gov or serg @ lanl.gov). The deadline for abstracts is August 1, 2006.

 

The meeting will be held in the beautiful hotel La Posada de Santa Fe ( http://www.LaPosadaDeSantaFe.com ), located in the very heart of Santa Fe, NM. A block of rooms has been reserved for conference participants.

 

The conference is open to the public.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are a Foreign National (i.e. not a US citizen) and have plans to visit LANL (i.e. visit experimental labs and/or meet our researchers), you need an approval from the LANL security office. Depending on the country of residence or birth, such pre-approval can take us as much as 6 weeks to process. If you are a foreign national planning on visiting LANL please contact Adam Shipman (ashipman@lanl.gov) at your earliest convenience so that we can initiate this paperwork.
