Meeting Structure

HAW05 will be a five-day meeting. Workshops will be held on 18 September, preceding the plenary session and scientific sessions that follow. The plenary session on Monday afternoon will open the main meeting and will highlight the nuclear physics of Japan and the U.S. Scientific sessions will be held during the afternoon and evening, except on the last day of the meeting, when sessions will be scheduled for the morning and afternoon to accommodate those with evening flights. Typically an afternoon or evening will see one invited paper session running in parallel with multiple sessions of contributed papers and mini-symposia. As is usual, mini-symposia will involve one lead (invited) talk followed by contributed papers all on the same topic. The mini-symposia are viewed as ideal sessions to integrate the JPS and DNP communities around topics of mutual interest.

As was true for Hawaii 2001, differences from traditional APS meetings include:

• All slots for talks will be multiples of 15 minutes, rather than 12 minutes.
• Instead of 10 minute contributed talks, all contributed talk slots will be 15 minutes—a 12 minute talk plus 3 minutes for questions and discussion (12+3).
• Lead talks in mini-symposia will be 25 minutes plus 5 minutes for discussion, a time slot of 30 minutes (25+5).
• Invited session talks will be 35 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion, a total of 45 minutes (35+10).

Participants are reminded that this is an international meeting. Thus, all speakers should pay particular attention to speaking slowly and clearly and to including important points on their "transparencies".
