32nd Western Regional Nuclear & Particle Physics Conference

February 17-19,1995

immediately preceeding the Lake Louise Winter Institute

• Application form and related information (deadline for registration submission January 15/95)
• Abstract submission (deadline for abstract submission January 28/95)
• Accommodation at the Chateau Lake Louise (deadline for accommodation request January 15/95)
• Bus Schedule between Calgary airport to Lake Louise

The 1995 Western Regional Nuclear and Particle Physics Conference (WRNPPC), organized by University of British Columbia, will be held at the Chateau Lake Louise from Friday evening, February 17 through Sunday noon, February 19. This conference is followed by the Lake Louise Winter Institute (LLWI) from February 19-25/95. The theme for this year's Lake Louise Winter Institute is QUARKS AND COLLIDERS. The WRNPPC and LLWI are separately organized, you must submit a separate application form to each.

The WRNPPC is intended to provide a forum where work in subatomic physics in Western Canada can be presented and discussed in a pleasant, relaxed atomosphere. In addition to the eight invited speakers below, we encourage members of the nuclear and particle physics community, (both theory and experiment) to submit an abstract for a 10 minute talk; we have time slots reserved for 26 submitted talks. This has traditionally been a conference where graduate students and young postdoctoral physicists contribute significantly to the sessions. Please especially encourage and support your young colleagues to come and present their research. There are no written/published proceedings for this conference. As in past years, a prize sponsored by the Nuclear Physics division of CAP will be awarded for the best contributed talk. The value of the prize has just this year been increased to $150.

This year, invited speakers and their topics include:

• Nobel Laureate, Dr. Richard Taylor, SLAC/U Alberta - Electron Scattering from HEPL to H1

• Dr. Bruce Campbell, U Alberta - Particle Physics and Cosmology
• Dr. Bill Cummings, TRIUMF - Measuring the Weak Pseudoscalar Coupling Using Polarized Muonic 3He.
• Dr. William Falk, U Manitoba - Investigation of (p,d pi+) Reaction in the Quasi-Free Region.
• Dr. Margret Fincke-Keeler, U Victoria - The LEP Collider and Physics at the Z0.
• Dr. Kara Keeter, SAL - New results for the Reaction p(gamma,pi0)p at Threshold.
• Dr. Anne Trudel, SFU/TRIUMF - The HERMES Experiment: Unravelling the Origins of the Nucleon's Spin.
• Dr. Chris Waltham, UBC - The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory: Physics 2km Underground.

• Friday and Saturday evening sessions 19:30-22:30
• Saturday and Sunday morning sessions 8:30-12:15,
• Saturday afternoon is free for recreation/skiing/discussion.

A small reception will be held Friday evening, after the first evening session.

EPILOGUE: (added after conference)

• The conference went well, 39 physicists participated. Congratulations go to graduate students Mohammed Kermani and Makoto Fujiwara, for each winning a $75 prize for best student contributions. Mohammed is a UBC graduate student working on the CHAOS experiment at TRIUMF, and Makoto is a UBC graduate student on the muon-catalyzed fusion experiment, also at TRIUMF.
