Welcome to the web site of SESAPS 2004

SESAPS 2004 has closed.

The 71st Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Section of the American Physical Society (SESAPS) will take place Thursday, November 11, through Saturday, November 13, 2004, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will serve as the official meeting host.

The goal of SESAPS is the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics within the Southeastern region of the United States, including the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. These states are home to numerous universities and colleges, as well as several national laboratories. Each November SESAPS brings together physicists from the region for a meeting hosted by either a university or a national laboratory.

Since the last time Oak Ridge National Laboratory hosted the SESAPS meeting in 1992, the Laboratory has undergone tremendous changes. New facilities have been built or are under construction, including the Spallation Neutron Source. The Laboratory has recently been chosen by the Department of Energy (DOE) to lead a partnership to build the world's most powerful supercomputer. ORNL is proud to host SESEAPS 2004, and welcomes scientists from the Southeast, especially graduate and undergraduate students, to actively participate in the meeting this November.
