International Workshop
on
Hadron Physics
Effective Theories of Low Energy QCD
10-15 September, 1999
University of Coimbra, Portugal
PROGRAM
The purpose of the workshop, organized by the Centro de Física Teórica (Coimbra, Portugal), is to provide a meeting place for discussion of recent developments in Hadron Physics, particularly in Effective Theories of Low Energy QCD.
The program includes invited talks and contributed talks, and will cover the following topics:
PLACE AND DATE
The workshop will be held at the campus of the University of Coimbra. Coimbra is a historic city with many intersting sites. The University is one of the oldest of Europe (founded in 1290). It has several rich science museums, in particular a magnificent Physics Museum with an impressive collection of instruments of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The workshop will take place in September 1999 from Friday the 10th, 09h30m until Wednesday the 15th, 12h30m. Participants are expected to arrive on Thursday, September 9th, and leave on Wednesday 15th in the afternoon. Sunday the 12th will be free, with an organized excursion.
PARTICIPATION and FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
Participation is by invitation or registration. The organizers will support the stay of invited speakers. In general it will not be possible to support travel expenses. However we will try to get funds to provide travel expenses in special cases.
REGISTRATION
The preferred method of registration is by e-mail using the registration form. Since the number of participants is limited, early registration is recommended.
The registration fee is 175.00 EUR. Acceptable forms of payments are Eurocheque, traveller checks or cash. Credit cards are not accepted.
The registration fee covers the book of abstracts, coffee breaks, the workshop dinner and the Proceedings.
HOTEL INFORMATION AND RESERVATION
Information concerning hotels is found on the reservation form. Please, fill and return this form as soon as possible, as preferences will be attended to on a "first come first serve" basis.
DEAD LINE
The dead line for registration and submission of abstracts is May 31, 1999.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Participants are invited to present contributions at the workshop. Abstracts of contributions (one page) should be written using this LaTeX sample file, which, together with this figure, produces this sample PostScript document. Electronic submission to the e-mail address of the conference is strongly recommended, preferably as a PostScript (.PS) or .PDF file attachment. Should this not be possible, send a camera-ready paper copy by regular mail.
The collection of abstracts will be made available to the participants upon arrival and will also appear at the workshop web site. The contributions selected for oral presentation will be published in the Proceedings.
PROCEEDINGS
The Proceedings of the Workshop will be published by the American Institute of Physics. The dead line for articles to be published in the Proceedings is November 1.
SOCIAL PROGRAM
The social program includes an excursion on Sunday the 12th (to historical places and the sea-side), a dinner in Palácio de S. Marcos, and a visit to the Physics Museum. The reservation form includes the possibility to register for the excursion. The number of accompanying persons interested in the conference dinner should also be indicated there.
