                  KEK theory center workshop on
          High-energy hadron physics with hadron beams
             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 
pre-registration form by email. We have some funds to cover domestic 
travel and local expenses for participants. The list of speakers will be 
announced in the workshop web page and in the second circular.

The second circular will be distributed in November, and it includes
detailed information on practical matters such as registration, housing,
etc.
