Research Center JAEA, supported by KEK, J-PARC center, RIKEN Nishina
center, RCNP, ELPH, HPCI and ANPhA.
  The participants of the school are assumed to be graduate students
and young researchers at the postdoc level who have a strong
motivation to carry the future nuclear physics research. We also
welcome senior scientists.

A series of lectures and topical talks will be given by distinguished
physicists from around the world. Those already scheduled for talks
are provided below.

Scheduled Lectures
T. Hatsuda (RIKEN/Tokyo)
D.Blaschke (Rostock)
J.Millener (BNL)
T.A.Rijken (Nijmegen)
P.Bydzovsky (NPI-Czech)
P.Achenbach (Mainz)
T.Takahashi (J-PARC)
H.Shimizu(ELPH-Tohoku)
and other distinguished lectures to be confirmed.

The schedule of the school consists of two parts.
The first half (14-16 February) will be held at the Ibaraki Quantum
Beam Research
Center (IQBRC) near JAEA Tokai campus (Tokai, Ibaraki pref.) which is
located at 100km northeast of Tokyo and 70km north of the Tokyo-Narita
airport. The latter half (17-20 February) will be held on the Kawauchi
campus of Tohoku University (Sendai, Miyagi pref.). At the night of 20th,
summary and discussion session will be held at Sakunami hot-spring in Sendai.
The city of Sendai with a population of one million is the center of
the northern part of
Japan, “Tohoku District”. It is located about 350 km north of Tokyo
and can be accessed in 1 hour and 45 minutes by the super-express
train (Tohoku Shinkansen). We will arrange a bus transportation from
Tokai to Sendai on the 17th and Tohoku Univ. to Sakunami on the 20th
for the school participants.

The school will welcome a maximum of approximately 50 graduate
students and young scientists from all over the world both in
experiments and in theory. Students have a chance to have financial
support for their travel and local expenses. Deadline of application
is the end of 18 November, 2012. In addition, the organizers strongly
advise the persons who need a visa to enter Japan, to contact the
organizer as soon as possible, since the issuance of a visa may take a
long time.

Application and Selection of participants:
Application can be submitted from SNP school 2013 homepage.
The registration fee is 15,000 yen (only cash will be accepted at the
registration desk) which includes coffee, refreshments, lunch at Tokai site,
the bus transportation from Tokai to Sendai and the welcome reception.
Students and young post docs are to attend full lectures and discussion session
(from the 14th through the night of 20st).  If you cannot make it,
