First Lake Traverse Cosmology Workshop

Algonquin Provincial Park

Ontario, Canada

September 7-12, 1994

This September, the Algonquin Space Campus (site of the Algonquin 46 meter Radio Telescope and now home to a summer science camp) will be the setting for a workshop on the general topic of dark matter and its implications. The campus is located on Lake Traverse in Algonquin Provincial Park 88 km west of Pembroke Ontario.

We are planning a number of sessions on topics including theory and observations of the cosmic microwave background, large scale structure, clusters, solar neutrinos, and dark matter candidates. "Formal" talks will be, for the most part, kept short to allow for informal interaction among the participants.

The workshop is being sponsored by the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, Queen's University, the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research.

The Algonquin Space Campus is located in the northern section of the park and the setting is that of northern Ontario wilderness. Algonquin is Ontario's largest park covering some 7500 sq. km.. This is Canadian shield country with hundreds of lakes and wonderful oppurtunities for canoeing, swimming, fishing and walking. The park is home to an abundance of wildlife including moose, deer, and loon. Fortunately, by the time we arrive, nearly all of the bugs should be gone.

Participants will stay in Tranquility II, the residence at the ASC. Housing is dormatory style and participants will be asked to share one and two bedroom suites. The facility has a waterfront with canoes, a dock, and a sand beach, a spacious backyard with firepit for campfires, a sand volleyball court, and a paved basketball court.

Local expenses should be about $400-500Cdn which includes 3 meals and 3 snacks daily and use of all recreational facilities. There should be a slight reduction in costs for graduate students.

Travel times from Toronto are 6 to 7 hours by car or 1 hour by air to Pembroke and then 1.5 hours by car. The site is 3 hours by car from downtown Ottawa, and about 4-5 hours by car from Kingston.

Space contraints at the campus limit the number of participants to about 70. If interested please contact:
