                  KEK theory center workshop on
           High-energy hadron physics with hadron beams
             Seminar Hall, Building No.3 (San-Gou-Kan)
             January 6 - 8, 2010, KEK, Tsukuba, Japan

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The workshop on high-energy hadron physics with hadron beams will be
held from January 6 to January 8, 2010 at KEK, Tsukuba, Japan. This 
workshop is intended to discuss topics on high-energy hadron physics
with the high-momentum hadron beams at J-PARC and related facilities
such as Fermilab, GSI-FAIR, and CERN-COMPASS. The J-PARC is an
accelerator complex with a 30 (50) GeV main ring for high-intensity
proton beam (http://j-parc.jp/index-e.html). The Phase-1 construction
has already been completed, and the beam operation has started.

The workshop topics include
* hadron properties in nuclear medium,
* partonic structures of nucleon and nuclei,
* QCD and hard processes with hadron beams,
* other physics opportunities with polarized and unpolarized hadron beams. 

The goal of the workshop is to discuss exciting hadron physics programs
which can be pursued at J-PARC and other hadron facility. If you are
interested in participating in this workshop, please send the attached
registration form by email (and please register from a KEK web site
if you are Japanese). We have some funds to cover domestic travel and
local expenses for participants, particularly young researchers.

Accommodation
-------------
The KEK dormitory is closed for renovation during the workshop.
Limited number of rooms are allocated in the nearest hotel
(Urban hotel) to KEK.
*******************************************************************
NOTE: Please make your own hotel reservation by sending an email
message to the following address.
Please mention "KEK hadron workshop" for the 5% discount room rate.
*******************************************************************
Email: yoyaku(AT)urbanhotel.co.jp      (AT)--->@
Please mention "KEK hadron workshop" for the reduced rate.
http://www.urbanhotel.co.jp/english/index.html
If you make the reservation from the above web page, the reduced
rate is not available. In any case, rooms would not be available
from the web in Jan.5-8 because many single rooms are taken for
the workshop. 

*** For Japanese participants ***
You may try to make a reservation at the Urban hotel.
You could find an alternative hotel information at
http://www.kek.jp/RSO/guide/hotel.html
if a room in the Urban hotel is not available or if you prefer
to stay at another hotel.

*** For graduate students ***
Even if the KEK support is provided, it is not sufficient 
enough to cover the hotel expense at the Urban hotel.
You may consider to stay, for example, at
Tsukuba Kenshu center TEL: 029-851-5152
http://www.meikei.or.jp/~center/
or other inexpensive hotels at
http://www.kek.jp/RSO/guide/hotel.html.

Please read the access information from the Narita airport at
   http://www.kek.jp/RSO/guide/transportation/kek_narita.html.

For example, if you arrive at the Narita international airport,
you need to take a bus from the Narita airport to the Tsukuba center
   http://www.kek.jp/intra-e/access/timetable3.html.
Then, you may take a bus
   http://www.kek.jp/intra-e/access/timetable1.html,
or you may take a taxi to the hotel. The taxi cost is about 3000 yen. 
It would be a good idea to show the map of the hotel to the taxi driver
by printing out the access information page of the hotel web.
