Our goal is to have a balanced program in nuclear physics
(ISAC, nuclear astrophysics, etc...),
particle physics (energy frontier, precision and neutrino)
and particle astrophysics,
including both experiment and theory. We welcome abstracts from
all subfields of nuclear and particle physics.
Please see our list
of confirmed invited speakers and
a list of currently
registered participants (as of January 22nd).
Registration will take place Friday afternoon 4 p.m. - 6 p.m.
A small reception will be held Friday evening after the first session.
