Mississippi State University will be the site of a regional meeting of physicists in the year 2000.
Approximately 350 members of the Southeastern Section of the American Physical Society are expected for the annual gathering. The regional body includes scientists and researchers from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The organization meets each November to advance the knowledge of physics, the science dealing with matter, energy, motion, and force.
The physics and astronomy department and the university's Diagnostic Instrumentation and Analysis Laboratory, an interdisciplinary research center, will serve as co-hosts for the event.
The Southeastern section is one of six geographical sections under the umbrella of the 40,000-member American Physical Society, which is headquartered in College Park, Md.
