Welcome to CIPANP 2012!
Eleventh Conference on the Intersections of Particle and Nuclear Physics
CIPANP is a conference designed to explore areas of interest to scientists working in elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, particle astrophysics, nuclear astrophysics, and cosmology. Topics include theory, experiment, and instrumentation, as well as facilities needed for the study of fundamental interactions, elementary particles, nucleons and nuclei, astrophysical phenomena, and cosmic rays. CIPANP 2012 encourages participation by scientists of diverse backgrounds and facilitates the participation of younger scientists. It is intended to publish the CIPANP 2012 Proceedings, as was done previously, through the American Institute of Physics.
Venue
CIPANP 2012 will take place at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club in St. Petersburg, FL (the venue of CIPANP 1994) from May 29 to June 3, 2012.

The CIPANP 2012 Organizing Committee Executive has been able to negotiate a very favourable contract (including room rates) with the Renaissance Vinoy Resort.
