VII WORKSHOP ON HIGH ENERGY SPIN PHYSICS

Dubna, July 7-12, 1997

INFORMATION BULLETIN

16 years ago the Symposium on High Energy Spin Physics was held in Dubna chaired by Prof. L.I. Lapidus. This was followed by the series of biennual workshops in Protvino, in the odd years, between International Symposia, hosted by Institute for High Energy Physics. As Protvino is chosen as a place of SPIN-98 Symposium, the 1997 Workshop will take place in Dubna on July 7-12, under the sponsorship of JINR and the International Committee for High Energy Spin Physics Symposia.

About 120 scientists from different laboratories are expected to participate.

Scientific Programme

The workshop will cover a wide range of spin phenomena at high and intermediate energies such as:

Spin as a Tool for Test of the Standard Model
Spin Physics and QCD
Spin Physics beyond the Standard Model
Spin as a Tool for Test of Basic Symmetries
Experimental Data on Spin Physics
Acceleration and Storage of Polarized Beams
Polarized Ion and Electron Sources
Polarized Solid and Gas Jet Targets and Storage Cells
Polarimeters for High Energy Polarized Beams
Channeling in Spin Physics
Polarization and Heavy Ion Physics
Spin Physics at RHIC (meeting of RHIC Spin Collaboration is planned)

Organization

The Workshop will be located in the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of the Joint Institute Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Moscow Region, Russia.

The Workshop working language will be English .

Plenary sessions and parallel sections will be organized. The plenary sessions will be held in the Conference Hall. The parallel sections will be organized in the same building. The invited speakers will give plenary talks about new experimental and theoretical results and recent progress in technology. The time alloted for an invited talk should not exceed 30 minutes,and that for an original reports, 15 minutes.The participants can submit original reports to the Organizing Committee.

Publication

The contributions will be published soon after the Workshop and will be sent out to all the registered participants. The volume of the original reports, including tables, figures and references should not be more than 4 pages and that of the invited talks not more than 10 pages.

Transport and Accommodation

Dubna is a quiet and pleasing town lying 132 km north of Moscow on the picturesque banks of the Volga river. Its surroundings offer peaceful rural scenery which, though having no famous monuments, keeps memories of the past. Two hours trip brings you to Moscow, to Sergiev Posad, the Russian Orthodox center with its 500-year-old Trinity Monastery.

Participants and accompanying persons will be transported from/to the Moscow airport Sheremetievo or any Moscow railway station by the JINR transport. Information on the arrival date and flight/train number is necessary a few days before the Workshop.

During the Workshop the participants will be accommodated at the local Dubna hotel. Single and double rooms will be available.

No local transport is needed.

Climate

In July temperature usually fluctuates from +15/18 C at night up to +20/25 C in the daytime and the rain is likely possible.

Visa and Registration

The registration fee will be US $400 (in cash only) for participants and US $300 for accompanying persons. The registration fee includes: car transportation from the Moscow airport or railway stations to Dubna and back, hotel accommodation, coffee breaks, welcome party, banquet, social events, a copy of the Symposium Proceedings. The fee will be collected in Dubna.

To arrange visa support participants are kindly requested to inform the Organizing Committee of their personal data (see Registration Form). The included Registration Form, duly filled up, has to be sent before May 1, 1997 to:
