Title submission instructions

In order to get placed on the Forum agenda, please email presentation titles to the organizers before December 31, 2010 . Where possible, please indicate which task force area from this list best corresponds to the proposal.

Presentation submission

All presentations should be submitted electronically by noon on Wednesday, January 5, 2011 . (Earlier is better.) All presentations should consist of a five-minute talk supported by no more than three slides. Presentations should summarize the basic idea of each proposed experiment, as well as motivation, goals, and general plan of execution. It is also useful to provide an estimate of experimental run time, if any, needed to complete each proposal.

Allowable forms for the presentation file are PDF, MSWord and PowerPoint. All documents should be named as follows: Ideas11_your-last-name_first-two-words-in-ideas-title.ext

Sample names:

        Ideas11_coppi_high-beta.ppt

        Ideas11_murakami_lh-scaling.pdf

Individuals may present as many ideas as they wish.  Each presentation should be self-contained and limited to five minutes. Brief, constructive, group discussion will follow each presentation.  Discussions will focus on clarification rather than detailed critiques.
