2008 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting

Mark your calendars:
May 27-30, 2008

The 2008 Users' Meeting will be held from May 27 to May 30, 2008 at Brookhaven National Laboratory.  The first day, Tuesday (May 27) will have workshops on RHIC science, which will run in parallel and will highlight the recent results from RHIC experiments.  The science of RHIC II and accelerator technology that will make it possible, will be the focus of the second day (Wednesday, May 28) with a special symposium on the topic. 

Invited speakers from around the world will assess the impact of what has been done so far at RHIC and what is expected from RHIC II.  On Thursday (May 29), we will present the operational highlights from the most recent run-8 of RHIC experiments and the accelerator along with presentations from the Funding Agencies.  A special event for diversity in physics is being planned the evening of Thursday, May 29.  The last day of the meeting, Friday (May 30), will focus on Users' concerns, discussion, open forum, and the Users' Executive Committee activities - including election results.

The Users' Executive Committee (UEC) welcomes participation in the poster session to be held during this meeting and invites you to join them at dinner on Wednesday evening at Majestic Gardens, Rocky Point, New York.  Also, three awards will be given at the meeting this year to recognize the most outstanding thesis related to research conducted at the RHIC or AGS facilities.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
