                          Second circular
               Workshop on J-PARC hadron physics in 2014 
                       February 10-12, 2014
        2F Conference room, Ibaraki Quantum Beam Research Center
           162-1, Shirakata, Tokai, Ibaraki 319-1106, Japan

**********************************************************************

This workshop is intended to discuss hadron-physics projects
at J-PARC among theorists and experimentalists.

J-PARC experimentalists had already stated taking data on strangeness
hadron and nuclear physics, and we expect to have interesting results. 
It is also fortunate that the high-momentum beamline was financially
approved by the Japanese government in the beginning of 2013.
It will extend the scope of J-PARC hadron-physics projects in addition
to the strangeness physics by possibly including topics on hadron 
masses in nuclear medium, structure functions, and charmed baryons. 
On the other hand, large grants were approved for the studies on 
neutron stars/J-PARC nuclear physics and on neutrino physics.

The J-PARC branch of the KEK theory center has new visiting staff 
members from April, 2013: T. Harada, S. Hirenzaki, A. Hosaka,
K. Saito, K. Tanaka in addition to permanent staff members of KEK 
for pushing theory projects related to the J-PARC hadron physics.

The workshop will bring together theory and experimental communities
to discuss the J-PARC projects, especially recent developments 
on J-PARC related studies. We expect participants mainly from Japan;
however, we welcome international participants.

***** Discussed topics *****
* Hadron physics at J-PARC
* Strangeness hadron and nuclear physics
* Exotic hadrons
* Hadron properties in nuclear medium

***** Additional talks *****

The organizers will arrange several more talks by considering
recent developments on J-PARC related topics in hadron and 
nuclear physics. We would like to have much discussion time
at this workshop, so that an application to a talk is not
accepted. If you are interested in presenting your research,
please apply for a poster presentation.

***** Poster presentations *****

We plan to have a poster session. 
If you are interested in applying for a poster presentation,
please send the "topic and abstract" in the attached registration
form by email.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Tokai.
