This symposium is intended to provide a forum for theorists and experimentalists to meet and discuss topics of current interest.  The topics will include:  Diffractive physics and low-x phenomena at  the Tevatron and HERA, production of jets at LEP/SLD, heavy-ion physics with an emphasis on the expectations for RHIC, physics at the LHC, and the interface between the results from high energy collisions and cosmic-ray/astrophysics.  Confinement-deconfinement mechanisms in QCD will also  be discussed.

Abstract Submission: The deadline for abstract submission has passed. If you are scheduled to present a talk and have yet to submit an abstract, please do so immediately. If you still want to be considered for presenting a talk but have not done so,  please contact the Conference Coordinator: maryann@het.brown.edu.

Accommodations: All participants will be housed in the Vartan Gregorian Quadrangle, a modern air-conditioned facility, well-suited for our needs.

• Basic housing involves dormitory-style suites, each consisting of several single bedrooms and a general sitting room.
• A limited number of hotel-style guest rooms,  are also available on site for an additional charge. (The Donald L. Saunders '57 Family Inn) Each room includes a private bathroom, and two double-beds, and is appropriate for those with accompanying person and/or family members.

Housing/Meals:

• $450 - includes Dormitory-style lodging/breakfast/lunch/dinner for 6 days beginning the evening of 8/8/99.  This arrangement is most suitable for all single participants.

$750- includes Hotel-style guest room/breakfast/lunch/dinner for 6 days beginning the evening of 8/8/99.  For each additional accompanying person and/or family members staying with a paid participant in a hotel-room, the additional charge for meals/activities is $210/person.
• For those who prefer arriving a day early and/or stay on for a day or two, rooms are available at $40/day for a dorm-room and $90/day for a hotel-room.  Advanced notice is required.

• General directions can be found at Brown University Home Page. Driving directions and information regarding Buses, Trains and Planes to Providence can also be found at  this site  The Vartan Gregorian Quadrangle, located at 101 Thayer Street, telephone (863-7500) is South of the main campus.

 
• Conference site, MacMillan Building, Room 115,  corner of Thayer and George Streets.

• Providence is serviced  most directly by the T. F. Green State Airport, (PVD). It is often more convenient for those coming from abroad to fly to Boston's Logan Airport, (BOS), and then come to Providence by a direct  bus service. Alternatively, one can also fly to New York's JFK Airport and then come to Providence either by train or by bus.

• Most convenient bus service for Providence to and from Boston Logan Airport, R. I. Green Airport, and New York City, is by Bonanza Bus.

• For those flying directly to RI, direct Limo service from the T. F. Green Airport provides the most convenient method for reaching the Brown campus. If two or more are traveling together, hiring a taxi becomes a more reasonable choice.

The first session of the Symposium starts on Monday, August  9th at 8:15 a.m. and the last session ends on Friday, August 13th at 6:00 p.m.

Registered participants are also entitled to use Brown's athletic facilities, including tennis courts, swimming pool, weight-training equipment, etc.  University Health Service is open from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during weekdays.
