[Olympus] Symposium "Experimental and theoretical aspects of the proton form factors" in St.Petersburg in July

[Belostotski, Stanislav]

Dear OLYMPUS colleagues,
As you perhaps already  know, Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute 
(PNPI)  and OLYMPUS collaboration are organizing a symposium on 
"Experimental and theoretical aspects of the proton form factors", to be 
held from July 9-13, 2012 in St. Petersburg, Russia.  This symposium  is 
a follow-up on the "Workshop on Radiative  Corrections in 
Electron-proton and Positron-Proton Scattering", held at MIT on July 30, 
2011.The idea is to bring experimentalists involved in proton form 
factor measurements   and theorists together in order to  discuss 
various theoretical  and experimental aspects of the  proton form 
factors, like multi-photon processes in elastic ep scattering. In 
particular important is to quantify   the two-photon exchange correction 
and  to try to  constrain it from the current and future experiments. 
The Symposium   offers  a  good  opportunity   for exchanging 
information  on experimental  details,  Monte Carlo analyses, evaluation 
of systematic uncertainties, etc.
For a more detailed information please visit  the Symposium  site
          http://hepd.pnpi.spb.ru/hepd/olympus_2012/index.html
On behalf of  the Program Committee I would like to invite you for 
participation in the Symposium.
It is planned that the symposium will take place in the PNPI (Gatchina) 
  from 9 to 13 July with one full day for excursion. Given the fact that 
there will be intensive  apparatus tests at DORIS  in July you may 
reduce your visit to SPB to one or two days. In such cases your 
Symposium fee will be reconsidered correspondingly.
  We are planning to organize EVO session at the symposium.If you would 
like  to present an EVO talk you need not fill in registration form. 
Contact please directly to Yuri Naryshkin  <naryshk at mail.desy.de> 
indicating the title of your talk and requested time quota.
If you decided to come to St.Petersburg  do not postpone please your 
registration  and  the visa application process.Take a notice please 
that there is a peak of touristic activity in July in St.Petersburg 
because of excellent weather and white nights.
  The corresponding  instructions for visa processing can be found on 
the Symposium website.

I am looking forward to seeing you in St. Petersburg in the second  week 
of  July, 2012.
With best regards, Stan  Belostotski
