Joint Meeting of Pacific Region Particle Physics Communities

Pacific/Honolulu

Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii (Oahu)

Description
The Joint Meeting of Pacific Region Particle Physics Communities (DPF2006+JPS2006…) will be held from October 29 (Sunday) to November 3 (Friday), 2006 at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii. Honolulu is located on the island of Oahu. Oahu is often nicknamed "the gathering place". The 2006 Joint Meeting of the Pacific Region Particle Physics Communities will be the gathering place for particle physicists.

The goal is to hold a forum for young particle physicists in the Pacific region to meet each other, talk about their work, and discuss strategies for dealing with a future where the center of attention for high energy physics research, the LHC, will be at the opposite end of the Earth.
