Subject: INT Neutrino Workshop
From: Tony Mezzacappa (mezz@mail.phy.ornl.gov)
Date: Wed Sep 06 2000 - 13:05:40 EDT
Dear Colleague,
In anticipation of the Town Meetings on the Long Range Plan for
Nuclear Physics, a Neutrino Workshop will be held in Seattle from
September 21st-23rd, 2000. A Web site
http://int.phys.washington.edu/PROGRAMS/neutrino_2000.html
has been set up to provide information about the program and housing
arrangements, and to allow interested parties to register.
Objective: Draft a National Plan for neutrino research within the purview
of nuclear physics.
Identify opportunities for nuclear physics in:
- solar neutrinos,
- supernovae and neutrino astrophysics,
- neutrino mass,
- reactor and accelerator neutrinos,
- underground laboratories in North America,
- atmospheric neutrinos,
- high-energy neutrinos.
**************************************************************************
* *
* As a co-Convenor of the Session on Supernova Neutrinos, the Mechanism, *
* and Related Astrophysics, I invite you to attend. *

**************************************************************************
A session program is given below. Not all speakers are confirmed. The
presentations must be brief. They will serve to structure and focus the
roundtable discussions, where *all* workshop participants will provide
input.
This is an extremely important time for neutrino physics and astrophysics
in the United States, for many reasons, many of which you already know, and
a unique opportunity to bolster their status at the DoE. We very much hope
you will accept our invitation. If you decide to come, we urge you to make
your travel plans now. We apologize for the short notice.
On behalf of the co-Convenors, George Fuller, Ken Lande, and myself, we
look forward to seeing you in Seattle!
Tony
