Dear Colleagues, Most of you should have received an announcement for the 7th Symposium on Neutrinos and Dark Matter in Nuclear Physics, to be held in the pretty mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina the week of May 16th, 2022 (see the original email below). Our website now has a registration page at https://indico.phy.ornl.gov/event/142/registrations/8/ The COVID-19 pandemic has made it hard for us to estimate the number of conference attendees, and so I request that you register as soon as possible, without paying a conference fee yet, if you think it likely that you'll attend. We must commit to the venue we've selected in Asheville by January, and so need a good attendance estimate well before then. Our site also has a lodging page now, from which you can book hotel rooms at the conference site. Thanks very much, and looking forward to seeing you in May, Jon Engel, for the organizing committee -------------- The 7th Symposium on Neutrinos and Dark Matter in Nuclear Physics will be held in Asheville, North Carolna, USA, from May 16 to May 21, 2022. The NDM symposia are designed to bring together researchers in the fields of neutrino physics, astrophysics, dark-matter physics, and nuclear-structure physics to discuss the theory and experimental developments needed to investigate neutrinos and dark matter with nuclear targets or decay processes, astrophysical phenomena, etc. With the growing role of astrophysics and low-energy experiments in fundamental physics, the NDM symposia are an increasingly important way to exchange ideas and results among people from different areas. No other large meetings address, for example, the role of nuclear structure in fundamental physics. The topics of the conference include: * Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, nuclear excitation by neutrinos * Neutrino scattering in nuclear physics, astrophysics, nucleosynthesis, oscillation experiments * Solar and supernova neutrinos: models and detection * Double beta decay: experiments and nuclear matrix elements * Beta decay for neutrino mass measurements * Cosmological neutrinos and detection feasibility * Neutrino flavor transformation * Beyond-the-Standard-Model physics searches, sterile neutrinos, experimental anomalies * Direct dark-matter searches with atomic and nuclear targets * Indirect dark-matter searches * Neutrino astronomy and multi-messenger astrophysics * Instrumentation for neutrino and dark matter detection * The future of nuclear-structure theory/experiment and its implications for fundamental physics. Preliminary information is available the conference website: https://indico.phy.ornl.gov/event/142/overview Registration will be open soon. NDM22 is the latest in a series that began with a conference in Nara, Japan, in 2003. NDM06 took place in Paris, NDM09 in Madison, Wisconsin, NDM12 in Nara (again), NDM15 in Jyvaskyla, Finland, and NDM18 in Daejeon, Korea. Plans for an NDM21 in North Carolina had to be altered because of the pandemic.
