Gordon Research Conference on Photonuclear Reactions and Frontiers and Careers in Photonuclear Physics in Holderness, NH, August 10-15, 2014

该奖项提供了2014年戈登研究会议（GRC）光核反应的部分支持，该会议将于2014年8月10日至15日在新罕布什尔州霍尔登的霍尔登学校举行。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。罗格斯大学的罗纳德吉尔曼是这一提议的主要参与者，他是会议的主席。这笔资金将用于支持年轻科学家的国内差旅费和注册费。 该奖项还将支持一个相关的会议“前沿和职业在光核反应，”在两天前的GRC。 该前沿会议由年轻科学家组织，旨在介绍将在GRC讨论的主题。该奖项的更广泛意义在于培养年轻科学家。年轻科学家的参与是戈登研究会议组织的一个重点，目的是让年轻科学家广泛互动，发展科学合作者网络，同时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。戈登光核反应会议以大量年轻科学家的出席而闻名。在2012年的会议上，30%的与会者是研究生，14%是博士后。非常值得注意的是，27%的与会者是妇女，远远超过该领域妇女的比例。

This award provides partial support of the 2014 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Photonuclear Reactions, which will be held at the Holderness School in Holderness, NH from August 10 - 15, 2014. 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 chair of the meeting. The money will be used to support domestic travel costs and registration fees of junior scientists. The award will also support an associated conference "Frontiers and Careers in Photonuclear Reactions," during the two days immediately prior to the GRC. This Frontiers meeting is organized by and for junior scientists and is meant to provide an introduction to the topics that will be discussed at the GRC.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 2012 Conference, 30% of attendees were graduate students, and 14% were postdocs. It is very noteworthy that 27% of attendees were women, far in excess of the percentage of women in the field.
