The Tenth International Symposium on Capture Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy and Related Topics will be organized by the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and will be held at the Eldorado Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The Symposium will continue the general themes of earlier conferences. Topics to be discussed during the symposium will include, but are not limited to:
- nuclear structure (theory, capture and complementary experiments)
- capture reactions (mechanism, resonances, strength functions)
- statistical nuclear properties (level densities, fluctuations,
chaos)
- nuclear astrophysics (s-, r-, p-process nuclide production)
- fundamental physics (symmetries, properties of the neutron)
- nuclear data (measurements, modeling, evaluations)
- practical applications (physics, chemistry, materials science,
medicine)
- new techniques and facilities (instruments, cold neutrons, neutron
sources)
Registration forms are now available via the conference Web site ( http://lansce.lanl.gov/conferences/cgs/registration.htm ).

The program will include invited and contributed papers, and the proceedings of the Symposium will be published. The conference language will be English. The Program Committee will be reviewing submissions in early March. Authors will be notified of acceptance around 1 April 1999. The deadline for contributions has passed and they are no longer being accepted.
Some number of contributed talks will be selected for oral presentation. All other contributions accepted by the Program Committee will be presented in the poster sessions. All posters will remain on display during the Symposium.
A fourth announcement will be issued once a draft program is available.
The Symposium venue will be the Eldorado Hotel, near the Santa Fe Plaza. Santa Fe is the oldest capital city in the U.S. and the oldest European community west of the Mississippi River. The city is at an elevation of 7000 feet above sea level, bordered on the West by the volcanic Jemez mountains and on the East by the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) range of the Rocky Mountains. Santa Fe offers a historic past and rich culture and is known for its many shops and boutiques, art galleries, and wide range of entertainment from dance to theater to music. Much is located within the historic downtown area that can easily be traversed on foot.
Warm days and cool evenings are the rule for summer and fall. Santa Fe is located in northern New Mexico, an hour's drive north of Albuquerque, the state's major city and air gateway. Albuquerque International Airport is serviced by most major U.S. airlines. Shuttle service is available from the Albuquerque airport and rental cars are also available.
