Support for Gordon Research Conference on Photonuclear Reactions. Conferece to be held in Holderness, NH August 5-10, 2012

该奖项为2012年戈登光核反应研究会议提供了部分支持，该会议将于2012年8月5日至10日在新罕布什尔州Holderness的Holderness学校举行。戈登会议是介绍该领域最新思想和成果的论坛，在推动核物理中电磁反应的理论和实验工作方面发挥着重要作用。罗格斯大学（Rutgers University）的罗纳德•吉尔曼（Ronald Gilman）是本次会议的副主席，他是该提案的牵头人。这笔资金将用于支持青年科学家的国内旅费和注册费。这个奖项更广泛的意义在于对年轻科学家的培训。初级科学家的参与是戈登研究会议组织的一个重点，目的是让初级科学家广泛互动，发展科学合作者网络，同时也发展他们物理知识的广度和深度，从而取得更大的职业成就。戈登光核反应会议因大量年轻科学家的出席而引人注目。在2010年的会议中，41%的与会者是研究生，13%是博士后。值得注意的是，25%的与会者是女性，远远超过了该领域女性的比例。

This award provides partial support of the 2012 Gordon Research Conference on Photonuclear Reactions, which will be held at the Holderness School in Holderness, NH from August 5 - 10, 2012. The Gordon Conference serves as a forum for the presentation of the newest ideas and results in the field, and plays an important role in driving forward theoretical and experimental work on electromagnetic reactions in nuclear physics. Ronald Gilman of Rutgers University, the PI of this proposal, is vice-chair of the meeting. The money will be used to support domestic travel costs and registration fees of junior scientists.The broader significance of this award is in the training of junior scientists. The participation of junior scientists is a focus of the Gordon Research Conferences organization, with the intent of having the junior scientists interact extensively and develop a network of scientific collaborators, while also developing the breadth and depth of their physics knowledge, leading to greater career achievements. The Gordon Photonuclear Reactions Conferences have been notable for the large attendance of junior scientists. For the 2010 Conference, 41% of attendees were graduate students, and 13% were postdocs. It is very noteworthy that 25% of attendees were women, far in excess of the percentage of women in the field.
