Formalities

The agenda was approved by all present with the addition of an item to discuss the evaluation report on subatomic physics in Lund.

Leif Lönnblad was elected to take minutes.
Sten Hellman was appointed `justerare' for the meeting.
The minutes of the last meeting were approved by all present with the correction of the date in item 6 Next meeting.

§2

Fysikdagarna i Linköping

Richard has contacted Mick Storr who has agreed to come and talk about CERNs outreach activities towards highschool teachers. Sten will check that there is network access and a videoprojector in the auditorium.

Ulf Danielson will talk about modern particle theory. Torbjön Moa will talk about particle experiments. Ariel Goobar will be asked (by Sten) to give a talk on astro particle physics. If he declines we will ask Per Olov Hulth or Olga Botner.

§3

Election of a new board

The nomination committee has suggested the following board:

Chariman

Richard Brenner (Uppsala experiment)
Members
Paula Eerola (Lund experiment)
Gabriele Ferretti (Göteborg teori)
Klas Hultqvist (Stockholm experiment)
Leif Lönnblad (Lund teori)
Mark Pearce (KTH experiment)
Bo Sundborg (Stockholm teori)
Konstantin Zarembo (Uppsala teori)
The election material will be sent to the section members by mail. No advertisement will be sent to "Fysikaktuellt" since the timing is wrong. Gunnar Tibell or Göran Jarlskog will be asked (by Sten) to manage the election. Deadline for votes was set to 2001.12.02.

§4

The report from the evaluation of sub-atomic physics in Lund

We discussed the report and noted that particle physics in Lund seemes to be in good shape. We decided not to take any action at the moment, but noticed with concern that the only swedish group involved in DESY was given a low priority.

§5

A.O.B.

We discussed (rumors of) a possible increase in the cost of the construction of the LHC and its detectors.

§6

Next meeting.

The time of the next telephone meeting was fixed to Friday 7th December, starting at 1000.
