12-14 February 2010

The Winter Nuclear and Particle Physics Conference is a national meeting for the Canadian subatomic physics community, with a special focus on providing a forum for junior researchers (students and postdocs).

The 2010 meeting is being organised by the University of Victoria and TRIUMF, and as usual will feature sessions focusing on the research areas of interest to the Canadian community (both experimental and theoretical). There will be a number of invited talks by experts in these fields.

• Particle physics at the high energy frontier
• Precision flavor physics and CP-violation
• Neutrino physics
• Nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics
• Astroparticle physics and searches for dark matter

When registering, please indicate whether you will be contributing a talk, so that we know to expect your abstract. Graduate students in particular are encouraged to attend, and to present their work in front of their peers from across the country. Prizes will be awarded for the best student talks, funded jointly by the CAP's Divisions of Particle (PPD) and Nuclear (DNP) Physics. The registration and abstract deadline is January 22.

The meeting runs from the evening of Friday February 12, until midday on Sunday February 14, with Saturday afternoon free, and it precedes the Lake Louise Winter Institute which commences at Chateau Lake Louise on February 15. For those attending both meetings, please see the information regarding transportation to Lake Louise on Sun Feb 14.
