THE CONFERENCE
The International Conference on Charged Particle Optics (CPO) brings together a diverse group of scientists and engineers working on different aspects of charged particle optics: accelerators, synchrotron sources, focused electron and ion beam instrumentation, spectrometers, cathode ray tubes among other areas. The point of the meeting is to encourage people from different research backgrounds to learn what is going on in related fields, in the hope that a cross-fertilization of ideas will take place. For this reason there are no parallel sessions.
CPO takes place every four years and this year will be in Greenbelt, Maryland, near the University of Maryland, in the United States. Some of the previous meetings were in Delft, The Netherlands, Tsukuba, Japan and Toulouse, France.
Because this conference only takes place every four years, in order to encourage the maximum amount of time for meetings and discussions all conference activities will be in the conference hotel. The exceptions are the tour of the accelerator facilities at the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics at the University of Maryland, and the optional outing.
REGISTRATION
Registration includes hotel rooms and meals for the duration of the conference. Rooms are covered for the nights of October 22 through October 24, and meals are covered from dinner on October 22 through lunch on October 25. The registration fee is $1100. Click here for registration form.The deadline for registration is September 20, 2002.
ACCOMMODATIONS
The conference is being held at the Marriott Hotel Greenbelt, a modern hotel with first rate accommodations and facilities. The hotel is located about a ten-minute drive from the University of Maryland and is convenient to the Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and to the Dulles International Airport (IAD), all of which serve the Washington DC area.
DIRECTIONS TO HOTEL
