  (*Deadline of application September 2017)

We are pleased to announce that the SNP School 2017 will take place at
J-PARC, Tokai, JAPAN, from December 14th to 16th, 2017 hosted by
J-PARC, RCNP-Osaka, ELPH-Tohoku, APCTP, ASRC JAEA, ANPhA(applying), RIKEN
Nishina Center and GP-PU of Tohoku Univ. This is the sixth one of
a series of SNP schools, which were held in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and
2016 in both Tokai (J-PARC) and Sendai (Tohoku University).

This year, the school is organized as a pre/post-workshop event of
international workshops:
The International Workshop on Hadron and Nuclear Physics
(HNP2017, December 18-22, RIKEN, Wako, Saitama)
hosted by Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP)
and
Reimei Workshop (December 11-13, Tokai) hosted by ASRC JAEA.
The announce of these workshop will be done soon.

We encourage young scientists who intend to participate in Reimei WS
and HNP2017 to join the SNP School 2017 as well and to present their
research activities at the young researchers' session.

The school will have several lectures and topical talks on strangeness
nuclear physics as well as other general subjects such as hadron
physics and cold atom physics, which are expected to play central
roles in the 21st century nuclear physics research at accelerator
facilities for hadron beams such as J-PARC (Japan), GSI and FAIR
(Germany), RCNP (Japan) and for electron beams as CEBAF at Jefferson
Lab (USA), MAMI-C at Mainz University (Germany) and ELPH at Tohoku
University (Japan) etc. Lectures by leading physicists will overview
related subjects both from experiment and theory, and topical talks on
recent progress and future prospects of the fields will be also given.
The tour to visit accelerator facility of J-PARC is planned as a part
of the school. In addition, the school will organize a "young
researchers'session" to give a chance of presentations by young
participants. We encourage you to present your research activities
in this session as well as to enjoy the lectures.

Expected Lecturers and titles (tentative):
Chris Greene (Purdue)
   Cold Atoms
Tetsuo Hyodo (YITP)
   Lambda(1405) and KN interaction
Takehiko Saito (GSI)
   Hypernuclear Physics with Heavy-ion Beams
Kenneth Hicks (Ohio)
   Experimental Study of Hadron Structures
Baha Balantekin (Wisconsin-Madison)
   Microphysics of the Universe: Interface of Nuclear, Particle Physics
and Astrophysics

Details of the SNP School 2017 will be announced later and on the web.

Best regards,
Satoshi N. Nakamura and Atsushi Hosaka
Chairs of SNP School 2017
