[Cuga] First Circular NPCFiQCD 2012- A message from Zein-Eddine Meziani

[Lorelei Carlson]

First circular - International Workshop on 

*Non-Perturbative Color Forces in QCD (NPCFiQCD 2012)*
*Date:* March 26-28, 2012
*Location:* Walk Auditorium, Ritter Hall
                  Temple University, Philadelphia, 
                   Pennsylvania, 19122, USA

The goal of this first workshop is to support a new physics initiative 
for the 12 GeV upgrade of Jefferson Lab. It is aimed at initiating an 
important but missing avenue of research of the current QCD physics 
program at the 12 GeV upgrade of Jefferson Lab.  Among other goals the 
workshop  provides an impetus for a scientific endeavor that uniquely 
matches the high luminosity of Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade and  
directly impacts our understanding of the non-perturbative aspect of the 
color force in QCD. Measurement of the J/Psi production cross section at 
threshold on a nucleon and it's propagation and binding in nuclei offers 
one path to unravel the gluonic structure of nucleon and nuclei. The 
complementaritiy between the different Halls at Jefferson Lab provides 
for a unique opportunity to have a comprehensive research program on 
this subject. Post-docs and students should benefit from participating 
in a physics program at its birth and should have the opportunity to 
carry it forward.

The deadline for hotel reservations with guaranteed workshop rates is 
February 27,  2012.
