[Cuga] PROBING STRANGENESS IN HARD PROCESSES WORKSHOP---a message from Patrizia Rossi

[Rachel Harris]

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to participate in the workshop

   PROBING STRANGENESS IN HARD PROCESSES
   October 18-21, 2010
   Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati- INFN
   Frascati-Rome, (ITALY)

The aim of the workshop is to offer the state of the art on the 
strangeness physics in hard processes and its experimental issues. 

The workshop is organized to support the RICH project for the CLAS12 
detector in Hall B at Jefferson Lab and discuss the future role this 
facility can play in addressing open questions in the strangeness 
physics field. In addition to this the program will also offer a more 
general overview on measurements with identified strange hadrons for 
existing and future facilities. 

For the physics case four main topics have been identified:
- Nucleon tomography and quark orbital momentum, accessible through the 
study of the GPDs and TMDs
- Strange distribution and fragmentation functions
- Quark hadronization in the nuclear medium
- Hadron spectroscopy & exotic mesons
For the instrumentation aspects the workshop will focus on the present 
status and near future developments in Cherenkov light imaging 
techniques for applications in High Energy and Nuclear Physics.

Physicists interested in contributing to the scientific program are 
requested to submit a brief abstract (via web page), 120 words or 15 
lines maximum, not later than August 31, 2010.
