SUNY Institute of Technology
Conference on Theoretical High Energy Physics
Thursday June 6, 2002
This conference took place during a two-week meeting at the SUNYIT by a
group of research collaborators consisting of V. Elias, D.G.C. McKeon
(University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada); T.G. Steele
(University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada); M.R.
Ahmady (Mount Allison University, Sackvill, New Brunswick, Canada); T.N.
Sherry (National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland); F.A. Chishtie
(Cornell University); and A.H. Fariborz (SUNYIT). Topics on QCD,
B-Physics and field theory were covered. The conference was held at the
Kunsela Hall Lecture Hall from 8:45 am to 6:40 pm followed by a reception
from 6:45 pm to 9:30 pm at Kunsela Cafe. The proceedings of this
conference is published by the NRC Research Press, National Research
Concil of Canada (2003).
