APS Topical Group on Hadronic Physics

The mission of the APS Topical Group on Hadronic Physics (GHP) is the advancement and diffusion of knowledge related to QCD and hadronic physics. This includes enhancing communication between the Divisions of Particle and Nuclear Physics with physicists interested in the interactions and structure of strongly interacting particles in vacua and at high temperatures and densities. We also seek to enhance communication within the diverse hadronic physics community. The topical group should interest physicists working on spectroscopy, lattice gauge theory, structure physics, heavy ion physics, jet physics, and QCD at finite temperature and density.

Nov 28 We are organizing! We need volunteers and nominations for Secretary-Treasurer, executive council Member-at-Large, and for members for the GHP Fellowship Committee, GHP Program Committee, and GHP Nominations Committee. The Fellowship Committee nominates GHP members for APS Fellowships. The Nominating Committee is charged with identifying candidates for vice Chair, Secretary-Treasurer, and Member-at-Large. The first election will be held in 2002. The Program Committee organizes meetings and sessions relevant to the GHP. The first such event is a session on hadronic physics at the APS April meeting in Albuquerque, NM.

Nov 28 It is important that as many people as possible join the APS and the Topical Group. Further information may be found here. The cost is a mere $6 for APS members.

If you are not an APS member, please consider becoming one. There is currently a special half price APS membership offer for new Regular members and dues are only $50 (in addition to $6 for the Topical Group).

Nov 18 The APS Executive Council approves the topical group. Thanks to the more than 340 people who helped support our effort! Signatories to our petition are listed here.
