  LogoDuring the past few years, we have witnessed an unprecedented surge in high-pressure discoveries as a result of the development of new high-pressure instrumentation and analytical probes. Far greater potential is now apparent if we can create the next generation “synergetic consortium” to integrate state-of-the-art high-pressure techniques, facilities, and probes, and make them readily accessible to multidisciplinary high-pressure scientists.  This will tap into the immense capabilities at national facilities and research centers that have only just begun to be utilized by the high-pressure community with the existing infrastructure. The workshop will provide a forum to review the status of U. S. high-pressure research and to identify future grand challenges. As the name indicates, the workshop will emphasize the synergy and interdisciplinary nature of multiple subfields of high-pressure science and technology.  Participants will be encouraged to present forward-looking scientific vision. A few thrust areas are listed below: 
 
  • Integrated high pressure science
  • Dense condensed-matter physics
  • Chemical bonding under compression
  • High-pressure materials research
  • High-pressure petrology and mineralogy
  • Deep Earth geochemistry
  • Mission to the Earth’s core
  • High pressure seismology and elasticity
  • Biological and organic systems under pressures
     

NEW: Registration is closed. Due to the large number of registrations, we have to close the registration before the deadline. For invited speakers and participants, please send an email to hp-workshop@hpcat.aps.anl.gov.  For those who are still interested in attending the workshop, you may send your request to this email address as well. We’ll consider your request based on availability.

Please note that this is an adjunct workshop with the 2006 Users Meeting for DOE/BES User Facilities at Argonne National Laboratory. For those who plan to attend the 2006 Users Meeting, please note that separate registration is required.
