50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LASER / 50e ANNIVERSAIRE DU LASER
In the early 1950s I thought and worked hard at trying to find a way to obtain an oscillator for frequencies higher than those available from known electronics, in order to do very high resolution spectroscopy. Finally, I suddenly had the idea to put enough excess atoms or molecules in an upper state, and provide stimulated emission.
My student Jim Gordon and I made this work first in the microwave range, primarily as a test. The resulting
maser (for microwave amplification by simulated emission of radiation) generated an exciting field and many
people jumped into it to make microwave oscillators and amplifiers. But after a few years I pushed myself to
move on to much shorter wavelengths. Arthur Schawlow and I then wrote a paper on how such stimulated emission oscillators could be produced at wavelengths as short as those of light – we called it an optical maser, but it soon was renamed the laser
(light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). After publication of our theoretical discussion, many scientists were excited and
the first working system was made by Theodore Maiman at the Hughes Labs, a pulsed ruby laser. The first continuously oscillation system was made by one of my former students, Ali Javan, with Wm. Bennett and Don Herriot at the Bell Telephone Labs. Industry by then
recognized the importance of this field, and all the first lasers were built in industrial labs. Lasers are now a wonderful field for science
and for a wide variety of technical applications -- all an outgrowth of spectroscopy, a field Herzberg helped develop importantly.
I presently use lasers to do infrared interferometry on stars with three separate telescopes. Lasers have helped astronomy in many ways, in
particular producing a rapid growth of interferometry for measurement of stellar sizes and shapes. Our interferometer is the only one, however, which uses heterodyne detection, provided by laser local oscillators, which hence allows interferometry in very narrow bandwidths
which can avoid spectral lines due to surrounding gas. This allows measurement of old and active stars quite directly, without interference
from their emitted gases. I will report some of the measurements, showing the changes in size of some stars, the dust shells they have
blown off and expansion of these shells, along with other details not seen until such techniques became possible.
BIOGRAPHY / BIOGRAPHIE
Charles Hard Townes was born in Greenville, South Carolina and attended Furman University in Greenville, from which he received a B.Sc. in Physics
and a B.A. in Modern Languages. He completed the Master of Arts degree in Physics at Duke University and then took his Ph.D. at the California
Institute of Technology. He was a member of the technical staff of Bell Telephone Laboratories from 1933 to 1947. Appointed to Columbia University in
1948, he continued microwave research to study the structure of atoms, molecules and nuclei. In 1951, Dr. Townes conceived the idea of the maser and in
early 1954, the first amplification and generation of electromagnetic waves by stimulated emission were obtained in ammonia. In 1958, Dr. Townes and
his brother-in-law, Dr. A.L. Schawlow, showed theoretically that masers could be made to operate in the optical and infrared region. The first working
laser was demonstrated (by Ted Maiman) in 1960. From 1959 to 1961, Dr. Townes served as Vice President and Director of Research of the Institute for
Defense Analyses in Washington, D.C., advising the U.S. government. In 1961, Dr. Townes was appointed Provost and Professor of Physics at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was appointed University Professor at the University of California in 1967, principally located at the Berkeley
campus. He was co-recipient (with Drs. Basov and Prokhoroff) of the 1964 Nobel Prize in physics for the maser/laser principle. Dr. Townes has served
on a number of scientific committees advising governmental agencies and has been active in professional societies. This includes being a member, and
vice chairman, of the Science Advisory Committee to the President of the U.S. and Chairman of the Advisory Committee for the first human landing on
the moon. He also served on the boards of General Motors and of the Perkins Elmer Corporations.
Charles Hard Townes est né à Greenville, en Caroline du Sud, où il se voit décerner un B.Sc. en physique et un B.A. en langues modernes par l’Université
Furman. Il fait sa maîtrise ès arts en physique à l’Université Duke, puis son doctorat au California Institute of Technology. Il fait partie du personnel technique de Bell Telephone Laboratories de 1933 à 1947. À la suite de sa nomination à l’Université Columbia en 1948, il poursuit ses recherches sur les
micro-ondes en étudiant la structure des atomes, des molécules et des noyaux. En 1951, le Dr Townes conçoit l’idée du maser et, début 1954, il réalise
dans l’ammoniac la première amplification et génération d’ondes électromagnétiques par émission stimulée. En 1958, le Dr Townes et son beau-frère, le
Dr A.L. Schawlow, démontrent théoriquement que le maser peut fonctionner dans la partie optique et infrarouge du spectre. La démonstration du premier
laser opérationnel est faite (par Ted Maiman) en 1960. De 1959 à 1961, le Dr Townes est vice-président et directeur de la recherche à l’Institute for
Defense Analyses à Washington, D.C., à titre de conseiller du gouvernement américain. En 1961, il est nommé vice-recteur à l’enseignement et à la
recherche et professeur de physique au Massachusetts Institute of Technology, puis professeur à l’Université de la Californie en 1967, principalement au
campus Berkeley. Le principe du maser/laser lui vaut (ainsi qu’aux Drs Basov et Prokhoroff) le prix Nobel de physique en 1964. Le Dr Townes siège à
divers comités scientifiques conseillers d’organismes gouvernementaux et il est actif au sein de sociétés professionnelles. Il est ainsi membre et vice-président du comité consultatif des sciences du Président des États-Unis et président du comité consultatif sur le premier atterrissage de l’homme sur la Lune.
Il siège aussi au conseil d’administration des sociétés General Motors et Perkins Elmer.

Graphene: the Idea, the Material -- What's Next?
Graphene is a one-atom thick layer of carbon atoms where electrons obey an emergent Dirac equation. In the six yeast
since it became available in the laboratory, graphene has captured the attention of a wide spectrum of scientists: from
condensed matter physicists fascinated by its unusual electronic properties, to technologists searching for materials for the next generation
of electronic devices and to particle physicists interested in using graphene's emergent relativistic dynamics to study quantum field theory
phenomena. This lecture will summarize some of the basic features of graphene, the ideas which led to its discovery and some future directions.

Distributed Brillouin fiber sensors: perspectives, challenges and field applications
Brillouin scattering refers to the scattering of light by sound waves created from propagating pressure, so called density waves. It is a mechanical wave which is sensitive to the temperature and strain. These phenomena can be used in
the fibers to make fiber sensors. Fiber optical sensors are classified in two categories: point or distributed. The Brillouin
scattering based fiber sensors can work as a point sensor or a distributed sensor. To form a point sensor, one can write a transient Brillouin
grating (TBG) via two identical optical pulses of frequency difference matching the Brillouin resonance count-propagating in one of the axis
of a polarization maintaining fiber (PMF), their overlapping region forms a grating, which can be set at any position in the fiber determined
by the relative time delay of two pulses, the size of the grating is determined by the pulse length, and the number of grating can be controlled
by the number of the pulses. When we replace one of the two pulses as a continuous wave, we can realize a distributed Brillouin sensor based
on Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA). We can evaluate the distributed sensor performance by the three parameters: 1) sensing
length which is the fiber length; 2) spatial resolution which is the gauge length for the measured parameter, and it equals the optical pulse
length in spatial domain; and 3) strain or temperature resolution. The high performance distributed sensor means short spatial resolution
(short pulse width), high strain or temperature resolution, which requires high signal to noise ratio (SNR) over long sensing length.

Women in Physics Session Speaker
The However Paragraph
It has been suggested that, in this talk, I might reflect on the advances in the status of women that have occurred during the past decades. Yet, it is the “however” aspect embedded in these developments that is of most interest to me - both as a physicist and as a citizen. In terms of our gathering today, aware of the many changes that have come about
in teaching and learning over the past decades, one might ask: “what has been the impact of a greater presence of
women on the field of physics?” There may be more women physicists among us today; however, has physics changed? Among academic
disciplines, profound changes regarding their professional image and practices have occurred in some disciplines, while other fields have
changed much less. Under the impact of feminism and in response to issues raised by feminists, lawyers and doctors, engineers and architects now perceive their discipline as well as their teaching and practice differently from the perceptions of fifty years ago. Physics, however, appears less changed. Though interdisciplinary research activities involving physicists have flourished and expanded, the physics contribution has frequently been more one of technique and instrumentation, and not one of approach and analysis. This may be so because the
essentially reductionist research design, frequently at the core of the feminist critique of the scientific method, seems to remain the archetypical physics approach. However, this state of affairs need not remain so. I will argue, based in part on curriculum analyses, that there are
within present day physics neglected research perspectives that deserve to be brought forward. For instance, integrating concepts, such as
structure, stability or appropriateness of size and scale might deserves fresh study and updating; Considering the superstructure of matter
as much a subject of research as matter’s substructure could yield fresh insight and helpful formal methodologies.In closing, I hope to suggest some “feminist” research questions that might broaden the field of physics as well as help to retain its women practitioners.

Probing the Origin of Mass: the First Light of LHC Data
Four decades of experimental results and theoretical developments point us to energies of one trillion electron volts,
or about a thousand times the mass of the proton, to search for the processes that give mass to elementary particles.
Reaching such high energies required a new particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which has recently begun operation at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The physics case for the LHC and the massive
ATLAS detector that records the results of the interactions that might produce the Higgs boson or other new particles
is discussed, and an LHC status report including a first look at ATLAS data from the ongoing 2010 run is presented.

The Changing Rhythm of Solar Activity
Climate and other environmental change almost certainly have solar-driven components, and our increasing activities
in space and dependence on international and global power, transport and communications infrastructure makes us
more vulnerable than in the past.The latest generations of satellite-borne instruments for observing the sun are producing unprecedented insights into solar activity. However, when we consider the solar activity cycle and longer-term
trends in solar behaviour, we are confronted with two serious problems. Firstly, until we have observed a few solar
activity cycles, we won't have the context we need. Secondly, we have yet to derive the tools needed to extract from
these data the key parameters applicable to longer term studies. So far, the best stethoscopes we have for looking at the rhythm of solar activity are indices of solar activity such as sunspot number and the 10.7 cm Solar Radio Flux. The first is a record of solar activity since the 17th
Century, and the second record began in 1947. Since then, additional indices have come into use. Although it would be unwise to treat any
single quantity as a full descriptor of the level of solar activity, we can use these long, consistent time-series to gain insight into how the solar
activity cycle works. In this presentation I will discuss work on using indices to examine the solar activity cycle, with special attention to the
last solar minimum, which was unusually long. We will examine some of the underlying physics and summarize our plans for the future
solar monitoring in Canada.

Confessions of a Struggling Physics Teacher: When one has more questions than answers
It might be expected from the CAP Excellence in Physics Teaching Medal winner to discuss effective physics teaching strategies.
I, however, decided to use this opportunity of having so many excellent physics teachers under one roof to ask some questions, I have
been struggling with for more than fifteen years. For example, we spend a significant amount of time training our graduate students
to do physics research, yet we often allow our Teaching Assistants and new faculty to enter physics classrooms with very little teaching preparation. How, when and where are they supposed to learn how to teach physics? Is it fair to the students? We often assign less experienced faculty to
teach large introductory courses, especially if they are for non-physics majors. Is it the right strategy is we want to make a positive impact on how these students think about physics? And what do you think about the lack of awareness of university faculty of the physics education literature? Should we expect of
the people who teach physics to be aware not only of the content they teach, but also of the way many students (who often are very different from the physics
faculty) learn physics? And how are we planning to make effective us of wireless technologies on our campuses? Should a lecture be the place where we retell
the information that can be easily found online or in the textbook? In light of what we know about how our students learn physics, should there be a replacement for this ancient form of content delivery? Do we need lectures? I will share my thoughts on these questions and will welcome your ideas.

Shedding Light on Luminescent Plastics
In organic semiconductors, molecular motifs are the building blocks of solid-state architectures instead of covalently-linked atoms as
in traditional semiconductors. This has the formidable advantage that individual motifs can be tailored synthetically for specific electronic properties, and that these semiconductors are readily processable in solution. Weak resonance Coulomb forces induced by pi
electrons in neighbouring molecules play a crucial role in organic semiconductors. Molecules are configurationally 'soft'; consequently, electronic interactions between building blocks are often complex due to energetic disorder, and characterisation of the semiconductor electronic structure
is usually challenging. Nevertheless, understanding the complex interdependence between film microstructure (dictated by supramolecular order) and the
semiconductor properties of pi-conjugated polymers is of fundamental importance in materials sciences, but it is also of practical interest for the development
of applications in optoelectronics. Our work achieves new understanding of the functional consequences of crossing from ‘weak’ to ‘strong’ supramolecular
electronic coupling regimes – the physics between the well understood molecular and extended semicondcutor regimes. We develop a description of how the
linear absorption and the steady-state photoluminescence spectra can be analyzed within a weakly-coupled H-aggregate model in order to unravel underpinning details of the electronic structure, which in turn correlate directly with thin-film electronic transport properties. Specifically, analysis of the absorption
spectral bandshape provides an estimate of the free-exciton bandwidth, which reflects the strength of the resonance Coulomb coupling of pi electrons in cofacial chains. This is a consequence of the the fact that the origin of the progression (the 0–0 transition) reflects the degree of exciton coherence and decreases
with increasing intermolecular coupling; in the limit of a pure H-aggregate the 0–0 optical transition is symmetry forbidden. Because energetic disorder renders the 0–0 transition partially allowed, the relative 0–0 intensity in the photoluminescence spectrum is sensitive to the nature of correlations in site energies
and on the exciton spatial coherence.

How the First Cosmic Light Illuminates the Dark Universe
About 95% of the Universe is made of the mysterious dark matter that keeps the interiors of galaxies from flying apart and the even
stranger dark energy that accelerates the universe at large towards an unknown fate. In the very early universe, it seems another dark
"inflaton" energy generated quantum noise which grew via gravitational instability to become all of the structure we see in the cosmos. Canada has been at the forefront in the use of sophisticated cosmic probes to elucidate the existence, amount and properties of
the dark components. This talk will describe our role in obtaining the weightiest evidence, from observations of tiny ripples in the Big Bang's relic photon sea,
and what we might be unveiled with our new high-precision probes.

Using the Mo-100 Photoneutron Reaction to Meet Canada's Requirement for Tc-99m
Although most Tc-99m is derived from the decay of reactor-produced Mo-99, there are other reaction pathways that can be used to produce Mo99 or Tc-99m directly. A promising option for the large-scale production of Mo-99 is the photoneutron reaction on Mo-100. Industrial grade electron accelerators are available with the required beam properties, Tc-99m separation technologies have been developed for low specific activity targets and molybdenum, enriched to greater than 95 % in Mo-100, is commercially available. Using the NRC 35 MeV electron accelerator, we have demonstrated all the steps in the
production process. Our results are consistent with a detailed study carried out by the Idaho National Laboratory in the 1990s. An economic analysis indicates the
cost of production is competitive with Mo-99 produced by reactors. We conclude that a single national facility, operating two electron accelerators, could supply
all of Canada's requirements for Tc-99m.

Direct production of Tc-99m via cyclotron irradiation of Mo-100: A piece of the puzzle
With the availability of the medically important radionuclide Tc-99m as supplied by the Mo-99 generator dependent upon 5 aging reactors that
have had significant outages over the last several years alternative routes for production are required to meet the diagnostic needs of the
Canadian public as well as that for the rest of the world. We present the concept for producing Tc-99m directly from low energy cyclotrons, using existing
cyclotrons in Canada, to produce Tc-99m from the 100Mo(p,2n) reaction and then distributed to a region of several hundred kilometres from the cyclotron on a
daily basis. While this number limits the regions that can be supplied by this approach, the distribution of Tc-99m in this manner will alleviate shortages enabling
generators to be shipped to more remote regions without access to direct production Tc-99m. This approach was awarded an NSERC/CIHR grant to bring radiopharmaceuticals labeled with Tc-99m thus produced into clinical trials within 2 years (late 2011). The grant is to support efforts from a collaborative effort among
5 institutions across Canada (TRIUMF, BC Cancer Agency, Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, the Lawson Health Science Centre in London, ON and the

Canada's new multi-purpose research reactor: it has always been about more than just isotopes
The political chatter about restructuring AECL and providing a secure supply of medical isotopes, appears to have distracted us from the bigger
issue: stewardship and development of nuclear power reactors, our supply of many critical medical isotopes, and both fundamental and applied
research using neutron beams have all come to depend on the continued operation of the fifty-two year old National Research Universal (NRU) reactor. Activities
such as privatising AECL, or funding research on a single-product linac production facility for Mo-99, totally miss the point. NRU is not, and never has been, just
an isotope reactor. Nor is it just a development platform for AECL. NRU was designed and built as a major piece of research infrastructure that has supported
Canadian science and industry for over fifty years. It is long overdue for replacement, and only a flexible, multi-purpose research reactor can properly fulfil the
many missions that NRU currently supports. Indeed, flexibility may be the most important feature needed in the new facility, since none of the key missions currently carried out by NRU really existed when the reactor went critical.

MEETING RE POSSIBLE CAP DIVISION OF ENERGY SCIENCES
CRÉATION POSSIBLE D’UNE NOUVELLE DIVISION DES SCIENCES DE L’ÉNERGIE DE L’ACP
This decade will see a massive shift in energy supply, both nationally and internationally, driven by global concerns over greenhouse
gas emissions and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, particularly
oil. Whether it wants to or not, Canada is poised to play a major role
in shaping future energy technology, policy and security, given its
vast potential for both fossil fuel and renewable energy production.
Already, the federal government has identified energy-related
research as a priority area, as showcased by several governmentfunded initiatives across the country. These areas are narrow, however, and fail to cover the full spectrum of renewable energies.
La prochaine décennie risque d'être dominée, dans le domaine
énergétique, par les préoccupations mondiales au sujet des changements climatiques associées avec les émissions de gaz à effet de
serre et de l'épuisement des réserves de combustibles fossiles.
Disposant d'immenses ressources en combustibles fossiles et d'un
potentiel remarquable de production d'énergie renouvelable, le
Canada devra jouer un rôle majeur dans l'élaboration de politiques
mondiales et de technologies de l'énergie, qu'il le veuille ou non.
Déjà, le gouvernement fédéral a rangé la recherche liée à l'énergie
parmi les domaines prioritaires du savoir, accompagnant cette décision d'un financement considérable. Malheureusement, celui-ci est
dirigé vers un nombre étroit de problèmes, laissant de côté de nombreuses technologies d'énergie renouvelable.
Given these circumstances, we believe that physicists have too little
influence in Canada regarding energy issues, whether it is at the
technical, policy or energy security level. This is in stark contrast to
other G8 countries such as Germany, USA or UK, where physicists
serve as political leaders and advisors within the national government. In our opinion, CAP needs to raise its visibility in this area.
One consequence of this lack of engagement is the insufficient level
of funding for fundamental, independent energy research.
Compte tenu de ces circonstances, nous croyons que les physiciens
ont trop peu d'influence au Canada en ce qui concerne les questions
énergétiques, que ce soit sur le plan technique, politique ou au
niveau de la sécurité énergétique. Cette situation contraste avec
d'autres pays du G8 tels que l'Allemagne, les États-Unis ou le
Royaume-Uni, où on retrouve des physiciens parmi la classe politique et comme conseillers de haut niveau auprès des divers gouvernements nationaux. L'impact de cette absence est important et
pourrait expliquer, par exemple, le niveau insuffisant des fonds
dédiés à la recherche fondamentale dans le secteur de l'énergie.
Selon nous, une façon de compenser cette lacune serait pour l'ACP
d'accroître sa visibilité dans ce domaine.
Therefore, we would like to propose a new division to be set up within CAP, called "Energy" or "Energy Sciences". It would address several topics including, but not limited to, renewable and emerging
energy technologies, future fossil fuel production (oil, gas, coal), carbon sequestration and storage, and carbon trading. We truly believe
that CAP should be involved in these key areas. In fact, CAP should
begin to seize the opportunity in this critical time of global developments to help shape Canada's future and policies regarding the
above topics. In addition, this division would serve as CAP's lobbying tool and voice for energy issues, and bring together physicists
with an interest in energy sciences.
Par conséquent, nous voudrions proposer la création d'une nouvelle
division des « sciences de l'énergie » au sein de l'ACP. Cette division aurait un mandat large, englobant de nombreux sujets tels que
les énergies renouvelables, les technologies énergétiques émergentes, l'avenir de la production de combustibles fossiles (pétrole,
gaz, charbon), la séquestration du carbone et de stockage et
d'échange de carbone, etc. Nous croyons sincèrement que l'ACP
devrait être impliquée dans ces domaines essentiels et pourrait
même participer activement, en cette période critique au niveau
mondial, à façonner une stratégie énergétique canadienne
cohérente. Il va de soit, à un niveau plus près de nous, que cette
division, dont le but est de rassembler tous les physiciens qui s'intéressent de près ou de loin à l'énergie, sera également la voix de
l'ACP en ce qui concerne le financement de la recherche en énergie.
Before launching such a division, it is important to assess the interest of the physics community for this field. We would therefore like
to call a meeting at the CAP Congress 2010 in Toronto. We welcome
everybody interested in this question, whether or not you are actively involved in energy.
Avant le lancement d'une telle division, il est important d'évaluer l'intérêt de la communauté physicienne pour ce domaine. Nous
désirons donc convoquer une réunion préliminaire lors du Congrès
de l'ACP de 2010 à Toronto. Nous attendons tous ceux qui s'intéressent à cette question, que vous soyez ou non impliqué activement dans le secteur de l'énergie.

Best overall prizes are awarded by the CAP in both the oral and
poster categories.
L’ACP offre ses prix globaux aux meilleurs à la fois dans la catégorie orale et des affiches.
All oral competition entries will be presented initially in the parallel
technical sessions as scheduled from Monday morning through
Thursday afternoon; the winners of divisional oral and poster competitions and the selection of 8 finalists for the Friday morning oral
competition final session will be announced on Thursday June 10th
at 4:45 pm at the CAP desk in the registration area. At that time,
the eight oral finalists will be given tickets to the banquet which
takes place that evening (Thursday), where they will be formally
recognized and given a prize. These eight finalists will participate
in a final competition on Friday morning with the top three overall
prize winners announced at 12:45 p.m. just before the official close
of Congress.
Tous les exposés des compétiteurs pour la meilleure présentation
orale seront d’abord présentés lors d’une séance technique parallèle qui se tiendra, comme prévu, du lundi matin au jeudi aprèsmidi; les gagnants des compétitions divisionnaires de présentations
orales et d’affiches ainsi que la sélection des 8 finalistes pour la
séance finale de la compétition orale du vendredi matin seront
annoncés le jeudi 10 juin à 16 h 45 au bureau de l’ACP situé dans
le secteur du comptoir d’inscription. C’est à cette occasion que leur
seront remis des billets leur permettant de participer au banquet qui
se tiendra le jeudi soir, lors duquel ils seront présentés de façon
formelle et où on leur remettra un prix. Ces 8 finalistes participeront
ensuite à la compétition finale, se tenant le vendredi matin et où
seront annoncés à 12 h 45 les noms des trois grands lauréats des
différentes catégories, juste avant la clôture officielle du congrès.
Poster competition entries will be presented in the Tuesday and
Wednesday evening poster sessions; semi-finalists from Tuesday’s
session will be tagged and displayed again at the session on
Wednesday. The six finalists will be determined on Wednesday
evening. Each finalist will receive a ticket to the congress banquet
which takes place on Thursday evening, where all finalists will be
recognized and the winners of the three best overall poster prizes
will be announced.
La présentation des affiches des participants à la compétition se
fera lors de la séance des affiches du mardi et du mercredi soir; les
demi-finalistes choisis lors de la séance du mardi seront identifiés
et exposés à nouveau à la séance du mercredi. Les six finalistes
seront choisis au cours de la soirée du mercredi. C’est à cette
occasion que leur seront remis des billets leur permettant de participer au banquet qui se tiendra le jeudi soir, lors duquel ils seront
présentés de façon formelle et où on annoncera le nom des gagnants des prix aux participants ayant présenté les trois meilleures
affiches globales.
The judging of all student competition entries will be carried out by
a panel appointed by the Chief Judge upon the recommendation of
CAP subject Division Chairs. Judges will be identified via a distinct red ribbon on their name bade. All entries will be assessed
using standardized criteria and weightings, to include: content,
clarity, quality and impact of presentation, and response to questions. There will be a subpanel of 8 judges for the CAP oral competition final, selected from the subject divisions represented in the
final competition.
L’évaluation de toutes les présentations étudiantes s’effectuera par
un jury nommé par le juge en chef sous la recommandation des
présidents des divisions de l’ACP. Les membres du jury seront
identifiés par un insigne porte-nom orné d’un ruban rouge. Toutes
les présentations seront évaluées en fonction de critères standardisés et objectifs comme le contenu, la clarté, la qualité et l’impact
de la présentation ainsi que la réponse aux questions. Un sous-jury
de huit membres sera formé pour la finale de la compétition orale
de l’ACP, les membres seront choisis au sein des divisions
représentées à la compétition finale.
The CAP thanks everyone for their participation and wishes good
luck to all student competition presenters!
L’ACP tient à remercier chaleureusement tous les participants et
souhaite bonne chance à tous les étudiants présentant leur réalisation.
