[Lorelei Carlson]

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

*Sixth International Conference on *

*Quarks and Nuclear Physics *

*(QNP2012) *

*April 16-20, 2012 *

*Ecole Polytechnique***

*Palaiseau, France *

This conference will continue the series of QNP meetings previously held 
in Adelaïde, Jülich, Bloomington, Madrid and Beijing. It will take place 
at Ecole Polytechnique, close to Paris and with convenient public 
transportation to its center.

The conference will highlight 40 years of development in QCD through the 
following themes:

A-  Quark and gluon content of nucleons and nuclei (parton distribution 
functions, generalized parton distributions, transverse momentum 
distributions,...),

B-  Hadron spectroscopy (structure, production and decay, light and 
heavy quarks, hybrids, glueballs, molecular states, multi-hadron 
systems,...),

C-  Non-perturbative methods of QCD,

D-  Effective field theories (chiral perturbation theory, soft collinear 
effective theories, non-relativistic effective field theories, heavy 
baryon perturbation theories, effective field theories at finite 
temperature,...),

E-  Nuclear matter under extreme conditions and nuclear medium 
(quark-gluon plasma, color glass condensate, dense stars, jet formation, 
hard QCD probes, hadronization, quark propagation, nuclear medium 
effects,...).

The conference will emphasize recent theoretical progress in the field, 
as well as experimental advances. It will foster exchanges between 
theory, phenomenology and experiment. In addition to the plenary 
sessions, parallel sessions will be organized following the above 
mentioned themes, as well as a poster session. For each parallel 
session, two convenors will select abstracts and organize the 
corresponding program of presentations.

*At this time, we would like to invite you to submit an abstract for 
presentation and to register. Please note the important deadlines:*

*End of abstract submission: January 13, 2012*

*End of early registration: March 1^st , 2012*

*End of late registration: April 2^nd , 2012*

Young physicists, post-docs and students, are especially encouraged to 
attend.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Palaiseau!

 On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee,

Michel Garçon and Bernard Pire.
