Progress on Statistical Issues in Searches
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Menlo Park CA, June 4-6, 2012

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to register for the conference on
"Progress in Statistical Issues in Searches" to be held June 4-6,
2012, at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park CA.

This conference will address statistical issues that arise in
experiments searching for new phenomena.  The scope of the conference
is cross-disciplinary and will consider searches in
Astrophysics/Cosmology, Particle Physics, and X-ray Photon Science
(research using high intensity X-ray beams for structural studies).
In addition to researchers in these three fields, there will be a
strong presence of professional statisticians.  This conference aims
to foster mutual exchanges of ideas and experience, identify open
problems, and promote collaborative research.
