FIRST CIRCULAR (December 17, 2001):
Light-Cone 2002: Structure of Hadrons and Nuclei on the Light Cone
To be held August 5 - 9. 2002 at the LANSCE facility at Los Alamos
National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM.
This workshop is one of an annual series organized under the auspices
of the International Light-Cone Advisory Committee. It is co-sponsored
by New Mexico State University and the Physics and Theoretical
divisions at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
In view of the extraordinary wealth of very accurate measurements of
dynamic properties of hadrons and nuclei presently being gathered in
many laboratories in the US, Europe and Japan, this meeting will focus
on the presentation and discussion of recent theoretical research in
perturbative and nonperturbative QCD in these areas.
The information in this circular, and future updates to it, will be
posted on our event WebPage:
http://p25ext.lanl.gov/lightcone2002/ . This WebPage also
contains information about Los Alamos and Northern New Mexico and
various maps, including one for getting to Los Alamos from
Albuquerque.

LOCATION OF MEETING AND WORKSHOP PARTICULARS:
The meeting will be held at the Rosen auditorium in the main office
building of the LANSCE facility (TA-53) at Los Alamos National
Laboratory. We have reserved a small number of nearby conference rooms
for informal discussion.
The workshop will include three days of formal sessions, approximately
one of which will be devoted to experiment and the other two to theory
relevant to light-cone physics and hadron phenomenology. In
order to allow ample time for informal discussions, the number of
formal talks will be limited. A program for the formal
days will be included in the second circular, which will be
distributed in late January.
If you are interested in presenting a short contribution during one of
the informal days, please send a title and brief abstract to one of
the organizers by 1 April. Topics for the informal meetings will
be decided on the basis of this abstracts. If your contribution
not presented at one of the informal sessions, it may be selected for
the poster session. Speakers are requested to provide a copy of
their talk in an electronic format so that it can be posted on the
conference WebPage.
Limited funds are available to support local expenses. Additionally,
we are seeking special fellowship funding for local expenses of young
researchers. If you are in need of such support, please apply to one
of the organizers. The application for students and postdocs
fellowships requires a letter of reference.
You may expect a modest registration fee to cover the cost of a
banquet and incidentals such as refreshments during breaks.
There will be no published proceedings.
ACCOMODATIONS:
We have had a block of 30 hotel rooms set aside at the Hill Top House
in Los Alamos for Sunday August 3rd through Saturday August 10th at
$71 (+ tax) per night for single occupancy. For those are willing to
share a room, a limited number of dual ($81/night), triple
($91/night), and quad ($101/night) occupancy rooms are available but
not reserved. To make your motel reservations, you may email
Lorie, the motel representative, at
Loriew@vla.com or call here
at 1-800/462-0936, ext. 1109. Please reference the "Light-Cone
Workshop".
Information about other options for accommodations is available
through links on our Light-Cone 2002 WebPage.
REGISTRATION:
Deadline: June 1, 2002.
Please provide the following information below to register for the
workshop if you are interested in attending this meeting. As the
processing DOE approvals for LANL varies according to the country, it
is especially important that we have the registration material from
participants who are not U.S. citizens by 1 June so that we have ample
time to acquire the required approvals. You may send the registration
information to the conference secretary, Debbie C. Spore, dcspore@lanl.gov
Apologies in advance for the long list of questions. The
information is required by Los Alamos, and we cannot secure the
approvals without all of it.
