QCD Moriond Discussion Thursday March 22, 2207

The aim of this meeting is to prepare future Moriond. In 1966, when I started the first Rencontres de Moriond, the main objectives of the meeting are : Promote exchanges and collaboration between experimentalists and theorists Promote young physicists in giving them a priority for giving a talk.

Every year, in each Moriond session, we have a discussion meeting in order to find out if we still fulfill the "founding" objectives As many « institutions », Moriond is getting older every year (42 nd Moriond this year : since 1966), we may become a club of "senior physicists". It is why your PARTICIPATION and your HELP is much needed to maintain Moriond in the right track.

January 1966 in Moriond 25 friends in 3 « chalets » at Moriond. physics + ski + cooking (the meals) and music in the evening 25 informal talks participants from French laboratories, Frascati, DESY and SLAC All participants were less than 35 year old To be compared with EW participants, 92 talks, participants from 19 countries

Before the general discussion with Etienne Augé and Bolek Pietrzyk, some numbers and graphs QCD 2007 Experimentalists vs Theorist : We try in Moriond to have a ratio of 60% of experimentalists and 40% of theorists. This year : 85 experimentalists : 66%; 43 theorists : 33%, not too far of our wishes

This year, we have 69 newcomers among 128 participants : 54%

This year, we have 66 experimental talks (71%) and 26 theoretical talk (39%) 49 speakers are less than 35 year old : 53% This year, we have 66 experimental talks (71%) and 26 theoretical talk (39%) 49 speakers are less than 35 year old : 53%

This year, we have 54 speakers among 69 newcomers : 78%
