Moriond Discussion Meeting
March 23, 2006

2. 2006QCD Moriond Discussion Meeting
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 :
A. Promote exchanges and collaboration between experimentalists and theorists
B. Promote young physicists in giving them a priority for giving a talk.

3. Moriond Discussion meeting
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 (40th Moriond anniversary this year : since 1966), we may become a club of "senior or friend physicists".
Question :
Is MORIOND ALREADY MORIBOND?
It is why your PARTICIPATION and your HELP is much needed to maintain Moriond in the right track.

4. Objectives :
Promote exchanges and collaboration between
experimentalists and theorists
Promote young physicists in giving them a priority
for giving a talk.
Realization :
We try in Moriond to have a ratio of 60%
of experimentalists and 40% of theorists.
This year : 70 experimentalists : 61% 45 theorists : 39%
We try to convince speakers that theoretical talks should
be prepared with experimenters in the audience in mind,
and experimental talks should likewise be aimed at theorists.
DID WE SUCCEED ?

16. DISCUSSION : Scientific Program :Etienne Augé :Coordinator
In order to start the discussion, some questions
- Is the number of talks too high?
We gave a priority to young scientists to give a talk.
Is the young scientist forum a good formula?
- Every year, participants asked to have introductory talks. This year the organizers have made an effort in that direction. What are your feelings?
- Are theoretical talks too specialized and too technical? Same question for experimental talks.
Should we come back to La Thuile?
