The International Seminar "Quarks-2008" is organized by the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences from May 23 to May 29, 2008. "Quarks-2008" is the fifteenth in the series of seminars taking place every two years since 1980 in various historical and cultural places of Russia; the previous seminar, "Quarks-2006", was held in Repino, a suburb of St.-Petersburg.
The coming Seminar will take place near Sergiev Posad, about 70km north-east of Moscow. The site of the Seminar is included in the Golden Ring of Russia; it is named after the famous Russian saint Sergiy Radonezhskiy. We plan to reserve one and a half days for the trips to Sergiev Posad and old russian towns located nearby. We are sure you will appreciate one of the most beautiful places in Russia.
Despite of the Seminar's traditional name, the program of "Quarks-2008" is fairly broad and includes plenary sessions, meetings at sections and informal discussions on various problems of quantum field theory and particle physics, including:
We expect that about 140 physicists will participate in the Seminar.
