Press Room
The Office of High Energy Physics in the DOE Office of Science invites members of the news media to attend an accelerator symposium, Accelerators for America’s Future, October 26, 2009 in Washington DC at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. Following the symposium, on October 27-28, media access will be available with invited experts in the fields of:
- Discovery Science
- Medicine and Biology
- Industrial Applications and Production
- Energy and Environment
- National Security
Press Guidelines
- All members of the news media must register online to attend Accelerators for America's Future.
- The Office of High Energy Physics encourages journalists to seek interviews with speakers or other participants by contacting: Elizabeth Clements, lizzie@fnal.gov, 630-840-2326.
- The Office of High Energy Physics requests that journalists honor any embargoes and not report on the research before the embargoes end.
- Audio and visual recording by individuals other than the official photographer is prohibited without prior permission from meeting officials.
About the Office of High Energy Physics
High Energy Physics explores the most fundamental questions about the nature of the universe. The Office of High Energy Physics supports a program focused on three frontiers of scientific discovery. At the energy frontier, powerful accelerators investigate the constituents and architecture of the universe. At the intensity frontier, astronomically large amounts of particles and highly sensitive detectors offer a second, unique pathway to investigate rare events in nature. At the cosmic frontier, natural sources of particles from space reveal the nature of the universe. Together these three interrelated discovery frontiers create a complete picture, advancing Department of Energy missions through the development of key cutting-edge technologies and the training of future generations of scientists.
