2007 Annual Meeting of the Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society
October 10-13, 2007
Marriott Newport News at City Center
Newport News, VA USA
Circular
The Annual Fall Meeting of the Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society will be held 11-13 October 2007 at the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, City Center in Newport News, Virginia. Two associated all-day topical workshops will be held on 10 October.
Venue
First referred to as 'Newportes Newes' as early as 1621, this tidal area near the mouth of the James River is
purported to be the longest continuously named place in the US. Today, Newport News is Virginia's fifth largest
city and home to the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab). The modern city was
founded by Collis Huntington, a builder of the nation's first transcontinental railroad. He also launched the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, today the nation's sole designer, builder and refueler of
nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and one of only two companies capable of designing and building nuclear-powered
submarines.
Called by some "the new downtown," City Center at Oyster Point exemplifies New Urbanism at its best, with an eclectic, high-density mix of office, residential and retail areas. Unique shops and distinctive restaurants are within easy open-air walking distance - and all just a mile from Jefferson Lab.
Newport News boasts the world-renowned Mariners' Museum, home to the newly opened USS Monitor Center with its extraordinary display of artifacts from - and large sections of - the Civil War ironclad. Other nearby sites of interest include the Virginia Living Museum and the Peninsula Fine Arts Center. In addition, Newport News is 20 minutes by car from the historic triangle of Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg. This year marks the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America, with many celebratory public events planned.
Transportation & weather
Newport News is served by the Newport News-Williamsburg International Airport (about 5 minutes from the hotel),
the larger Norfolk International Airport (30 minutes away) and the Richmond International Airport (60 minutes
away). Information concerning ground transportation is located on the Travel and Visa link. October is
Virginia's driest month, so you can expect clear blue skies and bright fall weather (but it never hurts to
bring an umbrella). Evenings are sometimes cool, while daytime temperatures could easily range into the 70s or
higher.
Hotel
All conference meetings and sessions will be held at the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. A block of
rooms has been reserved for meeting participants at a rate of $115 plus tax. Information on making hotel
reservations is located on the Lodging link. Hotel reservations should be made by 8 September 2007.
