Conference on Electroweak Theory and Unified Theories

Brown University, Providence RI

Investigators

Abstract

The proposal requests funding for partial support for U.S. scientists to attend either of two sequential high energy physics conferences in Les Arcs, Savoie, France. The first conference (March 15-22, 2003) addresses Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories. The subjects are CP violation in B and K systems, particle astrophysics, neutrino physics, tests of the Standard Model, searches for new particles and theories beyond the Standard Model. The second conference (March 23-29, 2003) concerns Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and High Energy Hadronic Interactions. The topics to be covered include heavy flavor physics, structure functions, diffractive phenomena, low-x physics and saturation, tests of perturbative QCD, heavy ion collisions, the search for new phenomena and physics at future accelerators.
