Rencontres de moriond in particle physics and cosmology

Objective

We propose a series of three conferences each year during four years. These conferences are devoted to highenergy hadronic interactions, to electroweak interactions, and to cosmology. This allows an almost completecoverage of the progress in the closely re lated fields of particle physics and cosmology.Particle physics and cosmology involve complex and costly projects, structured international collaborations ofresearchers, and long term planning (often over more than ten years). These fields are evolving rap idly. Severalexperiments are producing results while new projects are under construction (such as the LHC at CERN, theEuropean research center in Geneva, or the Planck satellite), and discussions are underway for the nextgeneration of experiments (Linear c olliders, neutrino detectors and measurements on supernovae).The proposed conferences take place in the continuity of the Rencontres de Moriond, organised each year since1966, considered by the community of particle physicists and cosmologists as one of th e most important (amongvery few) occasions to present and defend new hot results. The scientific community is a firm support of theseconferences because of :the mixing of experimentalists and theoreticians- the small number of participants per session (around 100)the importance given to oral presentations by young physiciststhe wide scope and the importance given to actual results over speculationsthe strict scientific organisation rules and judicious selection of the most important topicsthe close year long contact between the committee members and the research teamsthe efficient practical organisationThe quality of the attendance and the support from the community have allowed Moriond to have a visible impacton this community, since :results and ideas are more easily discussed than in larger conferences, often by the young physicists directlyinvolvedyoung physicists giving the first #
