Special Workshop

"HADRON PHYSICS IN THE 21st CENTURY"

1st Circular

January 24, 1998

Dear Colleague:

There is great concern in the Nuclear/Particle Physics community about
the future of a crucially important field: HADRON PHYSICS. The primary
hadron facility in the US is scheduled to become the injector to RHIC
next year. The future for performing hadron physics experiments which
need pi and K mesons, protons and neutrons is very uncertain. The
only major new accelerator complex that is being planned abroad,
the Japanese Hadron Facility, will not become available until
well into the next decade. A Special Workshop is being organized
to address the future of hadron physics. We want to highlight the
vital role that hadron physics plays in understanding Strong QCD, in
the determination of the numerical values of QCD and Standard Model
parameters, in testing the limits of the Standard Model and we should
summarize the many familiar objectives pursued in Intermediate Energy
Physics. I would like to invite you to attend this Special Workshop.

Time: Friday March 27 to midday Sunday March 29
Place: Research Campus of the George Washington University
(this is close to Dulles airport in Washington DC)

Objectives:

a) To make a succinct outline of the essential physics goals of hadron
physics in the regime of Strong QCD. Highlight the importance
of understanding quark confinement. Reiterate the need for
understanding Strong QCD in order to extract numerical values for
the quark masses and C-K-M angles and other input parameters of the
Standard Model. Discuss the interest in searching for unorthodox
hadronic and nuclear matter.

b) To emphasize the relevance of hadron physics to the work done at
RHIC and Jefferson Lab, including its upgrades.

c) To verbalize the important role of experimental hadron physics
with its small groups, short time tables, versatile experiments
in the training of the next generation of experimentalists and
the future of the field.

d) To list the specific experimental programs that are under way,
or that are being planned.

e) To formulate the essential accelerator and secondary beam needs.

f) To list the useful detectors with their upgrades.

g) To outline plans and ideas for new programs and detector systems
for use at JHF and a possible upgraded main injector at Fermi Lab.

h) To discuss the long range future.=20

Steering Committee:

N. Isgur, Jefferson Lab: Strong QCD

R. Jaffe, MIT: H particle and double hypernuclei

S. Vigdor, Indiana Un.: spin physics

D. Hertzog, Un. of Ill.: meson resonances in ppbar
=20
B. Bassalleck, UNM: s-quark physics

K. Imai, Kyoto Un.: hypernuclei

H. Spinka, ANL: baryon resonances (facilities)

M. Manley, KSU: baryon resonances (phenomenology)

J. Comfort, ASU: editor-in-chief of the White Paper

W. Briscoe, GWU: local organizing committee

B. Nefkens, UCLA: chairman

There will be a few more members to cover K decay, C, P and CP
violations, Strong QCD, glueballs, etc.

The ultimate goal is to write a condensed White Paper for presentation
to the funding agencies.

Partial list of speakers:

R. Jaffe, D. Hertzog, B. Bassalleck, W. Marciano, H. Spinka,

Logistical Information:

The workshop will be held at GW's Virginia Campus, about 30 miles
outside the District of Columbia. It is conveniently located near the
Dulles International Airport in Loudon County, Virginia.

We have blocked 60 rooms at the

Dulles Airport Days Inn
2200 Centreville Road
Herndon, VA 20170
Phone: 703-471-6700
Fax: 703-742-8965
e-mail: dullesdays@aol.com

The rates per night are $79 for a single and $89 for a double, plus
applicable taxes and other charges. If you are sharing a room please
tell the hotel with whom you are sharing. You should make your
reservations via e-mail using the form attached to this letter.

The Conference Secretary is Caren Hubbard <naus@gwis2.circ.gwu.edu>,
she handles all logistics correspondence.

Caren's address is:

Caren Hubbard
The George Washington University
20101 Academic Way
Ashburn, VA 20147
Phone: 703-729-8208
Fax: 703-729-8248
e-mail: naus@gwis2.circ.gwu.edu

Payment for the room should be made directly to the Days Inn.

There is a nice buffet breakfast available at the hotel that
participants may want to take advantage of.

We will have coffee breaks. A catered lunch is available in the meeting
building. In place of a registration fee, we ask you to pay $10 per day
for this convenience.

Dinner can be obtained at the hotel or at several restaurants in the
Worldgate area surrounding the hotel.

Visitors arriving by air are advised to fly into Dulles International
Airport.

The Days Inn will send a van to pick you up when called upon arrival.
The Days Inn van can bring you back to Dulles at your departure.
Transportation to and from the GW Campus will be provided in the morning
and evening. The Days Inn van may be able to handle the few who miss the
bus. If you must return to the hotel or Dulles before the end of
the day, we will arrange for a taxi.

The Worldgate has shopping, restaurants, movies, and public
transportation. One can also rent a car at the hotel, but we hope to
save you that expense.

Please respond to this announcement soon, preferably by March 1, 1998,
by e-mailing the enclosed participant information form to Caren and
a copy to the hotel at the addresses given above.
