XXXII International Symposium on

Multiparticle Dynamics

September 7-13, 2002

Alushta, Crimea, Ukraine


SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

The XXXII International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics (ISMD XXXII), organized by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) and the Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics (BITP), will be held in Alushta (Crimea, Ukraine) from 7 to 13 September 2002. The ISMD is one in a traditional Symposium series covering the most important topics of multiparticle dynamics in physics of elementary particles, heavy ions and astrophysics.

Programme

A special commemorative session will be held in honor of Bo Andersson, prominent scholar in the held of multiparticle physics, who suddenly died on March 4, 2002.
The programme of the Symposium includes the following topics:

  • Fluctuations and correlations
  • Soft and hard phenomena
  • Relativistic heavy ion collisions
  • Hadronic final states in e+e-, lh and hh
  • QCD in multiparticle production
  • Diffraction production
  • CP violation in multiparticle dynamics
  • Low-x and very high multiplicity physics
  • Astroparticle physics
  • About 150 scientists are expected to attend the Symposium. The opening of the Symposium will be held on September 8, 2002 at 10.00 a.m. at the Holiday House "Dubna" in Alushta. The arrival day is Saturday, September 7 and departure day is Friday, September 13. The working language of the Symposium will be English.

The fee for accompanying person is 370 USD and includes: six-day accommodation in the Holiday House "Dubna", meals, the cost of transportation, the welcome reception, banquet, coffee breaks, social events and the accompanying persons excursion.

    Social Programme

    The social programme will include a Welcome Party on Sunday evening, September 8, an excursion on Tuesday afternoon, September 10, and a banquet on Thursday, September 12. We are also planning to arrange a programme for accompanying persons. Pre- and post-Symposium tour for extra charge to Yalta, Foros, Hersones (ancient Greek settlement), Bakhchisarai (cave town), Novy Svet, crimean mountains, caves, Nikitski Botanical Garden and other sights may be arranged by an individual request.

    The Venue

    The Symposium will be held on the southern coast of the Crimea, at the JINR's comfortable Holiday House "Dubna". The Holiday House is situated about 200 meters off the Black Sea beach. The climate in the area is typically Mediterranean. Sportswear and camping outfit are recommended. Post-Symposium tours for extra charge to Yalta, Foros, Sevastopol (Sebastopolis), Hersones (ancient Greek settlement), Bakhchisarai (ancient Tatar capital), Novy Svet and other sights may be arranged by individual request. More social programme (excursions etc.) will be organized for accompanying persons.

    Travel information

    The nearest airport is in Simferopol, capital of the Crimea. There are direct weekly flights between Frankfurt and Simferopol only on Saturdays. Simferopol has direct air connection also with Tel Aviv and Istanbul. Transit via Moscow or Kiev is also recommended.

    There are two (overnight) trains from Kiev to Simferopol, one leaving at 16:05 and arriving at 07:42, the other one leaving at 17:13 and arriving at 09:15. The Symposium bus will pick up the participants in Simferopol and take them to Alushta. The trains from Simferopol to Kiev leave at 17:58 and at 19:45, arriving at Kiev at 11:48 and 13:35, respectively. The alternative way is to fly to Simferopol. There will be several daily flights from Moscow and Kiev to Simferopol in September, but not all of them are indicated in the international networks. The summer season flight schedule will be known in June. The shedule and other details will be given in the next Announcement.

    The Organizing Committee will arrange transportation to Alushta (Holiday House "Dubna") for participants arriving at the airport or the railway station in Simferopol (about 50 km from Alushta). Those wishing to be met at the airport/railway station in Simferopol should inform the Symposium secretary by e-mail: natasha@cv.jinr.ru or by fax: 7 (096 21) 65599/65891 or e-mail: olgau@gluk.org or by fax: ++38-044-2665998 of their flight/train number, date and time. The information should reach the Symposium secretary as soon as a participant has a ticket but not later than five working days before arrival. The participants can reach Alushta from Simferopol by bus or by trolley. It takes about one hour. The address of the Holiday House "Dubna" is Naberezhnaya st. 20, Alushta, Crimea, Ukraine; tel.: (06560) 31588/31508; Fax: (06560) 35250.
