ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 5:00 pm US Eastern Daylight Time on July 15, 2011.
Contributed papers may be given orally in a 15-minute timeslot (12 minutes for presentation and 3 minutes for questions) or as a poster. For either mode, authors must submit an abstract, which briefly but accurately describes the new scientific work.
Contributors must submit abstracts using the American Physical Society online web submission process. Submission process is now open.
To submit an abstract, you will need to have available (1) the GEC sorting category code for the abstract (see below), (2) the number and ordering of authors and collaborators, and (3) the abstract content. The website will ask you for an American Physical Society membership number; but you can just type "GEC abstract" in the member id box if you are not an APS member.
The web page will guide you through the submission process. We strongly suggest that you proof-read your formatted abstract before submission. This is done by logging onto http://abs.aps.org/ and selecting the meeting "TEST." When you are ready to submit your abstract, select the GEC2011 meeting button, and a form will be created for you. Simply input your information as requested. If you encounter problems at any point in the abstract submission process, please contact the APS Abstract Help-Line abs-help@aps.org or call (301)209-3290 during regular business hours, US Daylight Eastern Time.
