Les symposiums spécialisés offrent l’opportunité d’une mini-réunion dans le cadre du congrès général qui aide à soutenir la recherche en physique au Canada en offrant une opportunité de réseautage et de collaboration dans des domaines de recherche ciblés. Chaque symposium sera composé de trois sessions et la journée entière se déroulera dans une salle avec un café à proximité pour encourager le réseautage. Il n’y a pas d’orateurs pléniers ou d’autres événements prévus au cours de la journée pour interrompre la mini-réunion.
Plusieurs symposiums sont actuellement prévus pour le mercredi. Ils comprennent une série de conférences invitées et de contributions. Les résumés peuvent être soumis à un symposium en sélectionnant la piste du symposium lorsque vous soumettez votre résumé (à partir de la mi-janvier 2025). Les délégués qui souhaitent assister uniquement à la journée des symposiums peuvent le faire.
Si vous avez des questions sur un symposium, ou si vous avez soumis un résumé mais n’avez pas sélectionné la piste du symposium, et que vous souhaitez faire une présentation dans le symposium, veuillez contacter l’ACP à l’adresse suivante : programs@cap.ca.
Symposiums prévus (en cours d’élaboration) :
DASP Student Workshop (DASP) – The annual DASP student workshop provides members of the community an introduction to the broad areas of space research conducted within the community. This year, the student workshop will focus on the physics of coupling across the space environment and Space Weather, taking a look at how the space environment affects our daily lives.
Flavour Physics & Beyond (PPD) – This year’s Particle Physics Division symposium will discuss “Flavour Physics and Beyond”. Join us for invited talks covering the landscape of flavour physics in Canada, and discover how we’re searching for hints of physics beyond the Standard Model. Organizers: Heather Russell (hrussell@uvic.ca), Savino Longo (savino.longo@umanitoba.ca)
Hot Topics in Theoretical Physics (DTP) – Hot Topics in Theoretical Physics: This year the DTP symposium will address on aspects of gravitational physics. In the first part we will focus on exciting advances in observation (electromagnetic, gravitational wave and processing ability) that have happened in the last decade and what theory is doing to address them. In the second we will we focus on the fundamental and perrenial problem of quantum gravity. Organizers: Ivan Booth (ibooth@mun.ca), Hari Kunduri (kundurih@mcmaster.ca)
Multiple Facets of Nuclear Science (DNP) – Multiple Facets of Nuclear Science: Nuclear physics plays a key role in advancing nuclear sciences and technologies. Significant investments are made in nuclear research with focus on: Isotope Production and its applications, next-Generation Nuclear Reactors, and environment and Health Sciences. The symposium will highlight Canada’s nuclear innovations, promoting cross-sector collaboration, and engaging emerging professionals in these rapidly growing sectors. The sessions will be multidisciplinary and designed to be accessible to a wide audience with an interest in nuclear topics. Organizers: Chary Rangacharyulu (chary.r@usask.ca), Lidia Matei (lidia.matei@ocni.ca)
Private Sector Physics (Director of Private Sector Relations/Director of Professional Affairs) – Over 75% of physics graduates work in the private sector. Young physicists, or those interested in learning about physics career paths outside academia, are encouraged to attend this interactive symposium, which will provide insights into the careers of private sector physicists and offer insights and advice into the possible pathways and training needed to transition your physics training into an engaging and rewarding career beyond academia. Included in the symposium day schedule is an interactive Panel Session, hosted by the Dir. of Private Sector Physics, where you can learn more about the people and their careers as private sector physicists. Organizers: Ian D’Souza (ian.a.dsouza@gmail.com), Daniel Cluff (daniel.cluff@deepmining.ca), and Steffon Luoma (luoma@live.ca)
Current Trends & Hot Topics (DAMOPC) – This symposium is intended to introduce students and researchers to the diverse research bundled under atomic-, molecular-, optical-, and for that matter quantum and nuclear physics. Organizers: Jens Lassen (lassen@triumf.ca), Duncan O’Dell (dodell@mcmaster.ca)
Recent Advances in Plasma Physics and Technology (DPP) – Plasma physics and technology is set out to change how we live. For example, plasmas are used for dry reforming of CO2 and for the generation of renewable fuels and green fertilizers. Plasmas can remove forever chemicals and plasma reactors for fusion-based energy promise to be the source of green energy. The symposium will present recent advances in plasma physics research in plasma modelling, diagnostics, and reactor design of thermal and non-thermal plasmas. Organizer: Stephan Reuter (stephan.reuter@polymtl.ca)
Q-STATE: Quantum Science, Technology, Applications, Training, and Education (DQI/DPE/Director of Private Sector Relations) – Q-STATE, offered through the Division of Quantum Information (DQI) in collaboration with the Division of Physics Education (DPE) and the Private Sector Relations Committee, is an event by and for the CAP community to learn about current directions in the field and the unique Canadian quantum landscape. This year’s symposium will offer sessions on the following topics: Quantum Communication and Networks, Quantum Sensing, Open Source Quantum Computing. All sessions will be at the level accessible to the quantum-curious and will encourage questions and discussions. Organizers: Daria Ahrensmeier (daria_ahrensmeier@sfu.ca), Olivia Di Matteo (olivia.dimatteo@ubc.ca)
