C 11 sponsored conferences Tradition of more than 40 years Past conferences Present, future LP-97 Hamburg LP-07 Daegu ICHEP-98 Vancouver ICHEP-08 LP-99 Stanford LP-09 Hamburg ICHEP-00 Osaka ICHEP-10 Paris LP-01 Rome ICHEP-02 Amsterdam LP-03 Batavia ICHEP-04 Beijing LP-05 Uppsala IUPAP C 11 Philadelphia 5

Conference Program The organizers and the international advisory committee are responsible for the conference program. C 11 recommends general guidelines for conferences. Continuous improvement of conference program needed to adapt to the changing environment of Particle Physics research: talks are available online with a delay of a few hours. fewer, larger experiments. conference talks are important for young physicists to obtain a scientific track record IUPAP C 11 6

IUPAP Young Scientist Prize C 11 decided: Establish IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in Particle Physics. Criteria Outstanding contribution to Particle Physics. Up to 8 years of research after Ph. D. Type of prize 2 recipients every 2 years, given at ICHEP conferences. Prize is a certificate, a medal, $1000 provided by IUPAP. invited talk (after consultation with conference organizers). C 11 acts as Prize Committee, with the help of external referees. First prize will be given at ICHEP-08. IUPAP C 11 7

IUPAP Young Scientist Prize Schedule: August 2007: Prize Committee formed October 2007: Prize Announcement January 2008: Deadline for nominations March 2008: Announcement of Winners First prize will be given at ICHEP-08 in Philadelphia IUPAP C 11 8

International Instrumentation Conference C 11 sees a strong need for an International Instrumentation Conference in Particle Physics sponsored by IUPAP for various reasons: Global projects require a truly international conference. HEP methods are used in other fields (medicine, photon science, astrophysics). An international conference will help to keep the center of activity and competence in our field. Large participation of Particle Physicists at other instrumentation conferences, e. g. IEEE. This should continue, but it demonstrates the need for a major instrumentation conference in Particle Physics. No intention to suppress successful, existing regionally organized conferences on instrumentation. IUPAP C 11 9

International Instrumentation Conference C 11 Proposal and decisions: Name of the Instrumentation Conference TIPP: Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics KEK will be the host of the very first TIPP conference. Date of the first TIPP Conference will be fixed after consultation with organizers of existing instrumentation conferences. TIPP will have plenary and parallel sessions. IUPAP C 11 10

Assessment of scientific achievements in PP Motivation: Widely used procedure (publication list and impact factors) not suitable in experimental Particle Physics. Disadvantage at universities for particle physicists in competition with scientists in other fields. Group leaders in Particle Physics have difficulties to convince colleagues that the assessment should be based on more factors: internal notes, talks, letters of recommendations, physics coordinator position, . . . IUPAP C 11 11

Assessment of scientific achievements in PP Goal: We need a catalogue of objective criteria, transparent to people outside of Particle Physics, for the assessment of scientific achievements in large collaborations. for decision makers at universities, laboratories, prize committees. for experiments: to adapt their procedures to allow excellent physicists to obtain a track record, which is understood outside of Particle Physics. for young particle physicists: to have a bench mark for their scientific work. for Particle Physics group leaders: to convince colleagues in other fields. IUPAP C 11 12

Assessment of scientific achievements in PP Action: C 11 created a WG to address this issue. Participation of major experiments in particle physics. First meeting during this LP 07 Conference in Daegu. Goal is to present a report before the summer 2008 with recommendations and proposals. IUPAP C 11 13

Farewell and thanks to LP 2007 in Daegu Excellent and rich physics program. Beautiful facilities, very good technical support and organization. Exciting, striving city and country. C 11 is very pleased, many thanks to the organizers: Dongchul Son and the LP 07 team. IUPAP C 11 14
