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).
