                                                   Second Workshop on  

   Hadron Physics in China and Opportunities with 12 GeV JLab

 

                      July 28- July 31, 2010, Tsinghua University, 
Beijing, China.

 

                                                      First Circular

*I. General Announcement*

            Following the previous workshop held in Lanzhou University, 
the Chinese nuclear and high energy physics community has shown an 
increasing interest in hadron physics. In particular, with the new 
facilities (BESIII at IHEP, HIRFL-CSR at IMP) in China and the 12-GeV energy 
upgrade at Jefferson Lab (JLab) in US well underway, a wide range of 
opportunities become available for frontier research in hadron physics. 
Recently, two large-scale experiments at 12-GeV JLab with major 
participations from  Chinese physicists were approved. In light of these 
new developments, this second workshop will be held in Tsinghua 
University, Beijing, China, July 28- July 31, 2010, to discuss the 
current status, to promote further development of hadron physics in 
China and to further enhance the collaboration between the Chinese and 
the US hadron physics communities.
