REPORT ON THE DNP FALL

MEETING AT ASILOMAR Plenary Session CONFERENCE CENTER IN PACIFIC

GROVE, CA, 20-23 OCTOBER 1993 The Plenary Session, "Basic Nuclear A well attended and highly successful Physics: Funding, Applications, Future DNP meeting was held at Asilomar, CA Directions", took place Thursday morning with over 600 registered attendees and before a full house. The theme was in tune many guests. The weather was sunny and with the presentations of previous years, mild for the entire week. The exciting focussing on basic nuclear physics, the science and the pleasant ambiance of future of the field, and its intersection with Asilomar facilitated many informal societal concerns. discussions beneath the cypress trees, out on the sand dunes, and on the beach. On Robert Eisenstein, Director of the behalf of the membership, the DNP Physics Division at the NSF, opened the Session with a brief overview of the lensing effect as it passed behind a Foundation Budget and of the supposed "massive compact halo object" programmatic activities of the physics (MACHO) located in our Galaxy.

The Williamsburg area includes numerous additional popular attractions such as colonial plantations, James Town, York Town, Bush Gardens and a variety of museums. Shopping ranges from the quaint shops to the 'famous' Pottery. The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) is 15 minutes travel from the meeting location.

The Local Committee is planning an invited session on "Strangeness in Nucleons and Nuclei". Topics include Parity Violating Electron Scattering, Photo and Electroproduction of Strange Particles, Hypernuclei, Hidden Strange Production, H particle (if found), and Strangeness in Neutron Stars.

The Local Committee is planning two workshops at Williamsburg. One is on "Spin Degrees of Freedom in Electromagnetic Nuclear Physics", with the following topics: 3 r Polarimeters, Targets: H, D, HD, He, e Sources, GEn, Electroweak Form Factors, and the Spin 'Crisis'. The second workshop is on "Data Acquisition and Reduction Issues in Nuclear Physics". The planned topics for this workshop are Acquisition Systems, Simulations, Databases, Parameter Sets/Calibrations, Farms/Parallel Processing, and Code Development.

On October 26 and 27 there will be Reception Tours of CEBAF. The buses will depart at 4:30 p.m. from Williamsburg. Each Tour can accommodate 250 - 300 people.

Nominations remain active for 10. PHYSICS NEWS IN 93, C. B. DOVER three years. It is extremely helpful for the committee to receive additional Three nuclear physics topics of very letters of support that detail the high current interest were selected for contributions of the nominee and the inclusion in Physics News in 1993. These impact these contributions have had on will appear in a future issue of APS News. the field. It is also appropriate to submit One topic was "Making Oxygen in Stars", material such as significant articles that dealing with studies of the 12C + 4He might help us evaluate the nominee's 16O + reaction, a key process in the chain contribution.

Most of the people who replied added $15M to the Nuclear Physics budget, found only minor corrections, but there the Senate $31M, and in conference the were two major criticisms which we have Senate number was chosen, giving a total decided to address. The first was that the budget of $353.3M. This additional sum booklet was too long and that the intended was distributed as follows: $19M for audience (Congress and staff) would not LAMPF (raising the total to $34M, down have the patience to read it all. Therefore significantly from last year, as part of a two we are making a new draft with a greatly year phase out of operations), $8M for reduced list of topics, only 16 pages long RHIC (bringing the total to $78M for FY94, and with more "white" space. The second down still compared to the $90M plan of a criticism was that the draft had too much on few years ago), $3M for CEBAF (for Hall B), applications and not enough science and and $1M for enhanced operations of the that no matter what was said in the Bates facility at MIT. As usual, there is a introduction, the brochure would appear to "general reduction" imposed on the budget justify nuclear science on the basis of its of $15M for General Science this year.
