YITP international workshop on Meson in Nucleus
31st July - 2nd August 2016
Panasonic hall in Kyoto University
(Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics)


- About the Workshop -

The workshop will focus on recent experimental and theoretical
development of meson in nucleus and in-medium properties of hadron
from the fundamental theory of the strong interaction, Quantum
Chromodynamics. The topics covered by the workshop will be
- Fundamental theories of QCD
Chiral symmetry, axial U(1) anomaly, quark confinement and so on

- Mesonic atoms
Pionic atoms, kaonic atoms and so forth and their precision
spectroscopy and their structures and formation reactions

- Mesonic nuclei
Kaonic nuclei, eta and eta' mesic nuclei and so forth and
their spectroscopy and their structures and formation reactions

- Hadron formation in nuclear medium and the spectroscopy
In-medium production of hadrons and their spectroscopy

- Hadron-hadron interaction
Fundamental data for the interaction such as scattering length
measurement

- Baryon resonances
Structures of baryon resonances such as Lambda(1405) and N*(1535)

- Charmed hadrons
D meson, Lambda_c and so forth and their in-medium properties

- New facilities
Planned extension of the hadron hall at J-PARC, FAIR and so forth

and related subjects.

This workshop is a satellite workshop of the MENU 2016 held in Kyoto
from 26th to 30th July 2016.

- Accommodations -

We would like to ask participants to arrange their accommodations
by themselves, and recommend reserving their hotel rooms as early
as possible, since the period of the workshop is one of the highest
season for tourism in Kyoto.

There are rooms reserved by a local agency. For those who want
to make the reservation through the agency in cooperation with
MENU2016, please reserve a room from the web site:
https://v3.apollon.nta.co.jp/menu2016-eh/shukuhaku

Those who want to continue their stay after MENU2016 can also
make reservation in the above site.

We also have a limited number (~8) of rooms in an on-site dormitory
(Kitashirakawa Guest House). The guest house arrangement can be
requested in the registration form. Priority is given to students.
