in a pleasant, relaxed and intimate atmosphere. The meeting is intended to
promote fruitful collaboration between experimentalists and theorists and
between various institutions, by bringing together a limited number of particle
physicists in beautiful and inspiring surroundings.

1. CP violation in B and
K systems

3. Contributions
The detailed program of the meeting
will be established according to the latest experimental and theoretical
results at the time of the meeting. Request for contributions should be sent (using the Contribution Form) by email
to the appropriate address below, with a copy to the organizer of your choice (by
January 15 2004, at the latest). Due
to the limited time available, only a restricted number of talks can be
accepted.
According to the tradition of the
Rencontres de Moriond, a large amount of time will be reserved for both
organized and spontaneous discussions. Hence all participants are expected to
play an active role during the entire meeting. Please remember that we make a
special effort to bring together theorists and experimenters: theoretical talks
should be prepared with experimenters in the audience in mind, and experimental
talks should likewise be aimed at theorists.
Speakers are kindly requested to
write their transparencies in BIG letters and preferably in landscape mode or
only using the upper 2/3 of the portrait sheet.
