A Message From The Organizing Committee:

We are pleased to announce the MESON'96 Workshop will be held in Cracow from May 10 through May 14, 1996. Note this is our fourth Cracow workshop on mesons after:
  • Meson production, interaction and decay in 1991,
  • Strangeness in nuclei in 1992 and
  • Meson-nucleus interations in 1993.
    • During the MESON'96 Workshop, we hope, experimentalists and theorists involved in the studies of meson production, properties and interactions will consolidate old and establish new scientific contacts. New already operating accelerators of medium energy protons, electrons and heavy ions have opened new experimental possibilities of the meson production in various processes and made available investigations of meson interactions and properties. The Workshop program will enable the presentation of experimental and theoretical aspects of running as well as planned meson studies. The MESON'96 Workshop will be sponsored by the Institute of Physics of Jagellonian University, Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung GSI Darmstadt and Kernforschungszentrum KFA Jülich.

    Scientific Program:

  • mesons from p-pbar and p-p collisions,
  • mesons from nuclear collisions and nuclear medium effects,
  • electromagnetic processes, hadron structure, a few nucleon systems,
  • polarization effects, spin observables, prospects for future.

    • Location:

    Cracow is the former capital of Poland and a seat of the second oldest university in Central Europe - the Jagellonian University founded in 1364. The old City of Cracow is an important Polish cultural center. The MESON'96 Workshop will be held at the Conference Center of the Jagellonian University about 6 km from the City of Cracow.

    Accomodation:

    Most of the participants will be accommodated in the Conference Center hotel. The rest of the participants will stay in a villa close to the Conference Center or in the Pollera hotel in the City. A transportation will be ensured for those accomodated outside the Conference Center.

    Conference Fee

    The Conference fee ammounts to 100$ for every participant. The participants will be entitled to attend all sessions, a social evening on Saturday evening and a Sunday excursion. One copy of the proceedings as well as refreshments served during breaks in the sessions will be free.

    Schelude

    On-site registration will begin on Thursday afternoon, May 9 at the Conference Center:

    Kolegium Polonijne im. K. Pulaskiego, Krakow, Jodlowa 13, phone: 48-12-219841.

    Plenary morning and afternoon sessions will be held from Friday, May 10 through Tuesday, May 14 except Sunday, May 12. General invited lectures and seminars as well as a constant poster display are planned.

    Social Program:

    On Saturday evening, May 11 there will be an informal social meeting in the Conference Center restaurant. Sunday, May 12 will be free for optionally chosen excursions:
  • a sightseeing tour round the Old City of Cracow and the Wawel castle,
  • a short visit to the oldest in Europe Wieliczka Salt Mine,
  • a whole day excursion to the Eagle Nest Valley in the Jurasic Upland
  • other excursions be organized on request.
    • A list of cultural events taking place in Cracow during the Workshop will be available in the secretariat. Tickets should be ordered at least one day in advance.

    Proceedings

    The Conference papers will be published in a special issue of Acta Physica Polonica. The papers should be prepared according to the detailed instructions given in Acta Physica Polonica vol. 26 (1995).To speed up the publication of the proceedings the participants are requested to send in advance or to provide at latest on registration the source code of the paper in the plain TEX or LaTEX format. PostScript-formatted figures will be of a considerable help. Two printed copies of a manuscript are obligatory. It has been foreseen up to 15 pages for a 45 minute lecture, 10 pages for a 30 minute talk and 3 pages for a 20 minutes seminar or a poster.

    Useful Information

    Visas
    At least one month prior the Workshop begining the participants are requested to check in a local Polish Embassy or Consular Office whether a visa is necessary to cross Polish border.
    Phone, telex, e-mail
    The Conference Secretariat will help with the telex and E-mail connection from the Institute of Physics. A bill for each telephone call from the hotel room should be paid the next day at the reception desk.
