International Workshop

On

Nuclear and Particle Physics

At 50-GeV PS

 

December 10 – 12, 2001

Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan

 

First Announcement

===============

This is the first announcement on gthe international Workshop on Nuclear and Particle Physics at 50-GeV PSh to be held at KEK, Japan, from December 10 to 12, 2001.

 

As we announced, the KEK/JAERI Joint Project for high-intensity proton accelerators proceeded into a construction phase from April, 2001. Some of the accelerator magnets to be installed in the 50-GeV PS have been already on order. The international advisory committee and the users board of the project are going to be formed in a short period.

 

As for the slow-extraction experimental area, we still have time, although limited, before starting the construction. So, it is a good occasion to discuss about the concrete physics programs and the realistic design of the experimental area when the beam will be turned on, expected in 2007. Also, we would like to consider possible future extensions of the facility. The neutrino experiment at the 50-GeV PS is another important subject to be discussed, although the construction budget is still to be approved.

 

We hope many potential users, world-wide, to come to the workshop and join the discussions. Those who are interested in this workshop should send a pre-registration form before October 10, 2001.

 

The details of the workshop will be distributed in the next circular. The Workshop Home Page is located at http://www-jhf.kek.jp/NP01/.
