*Second Announcement of the HYP2018 Conference*

The 13th International Conference on Hypernuclear and Strange Particle 
Physics (HYP2018) will take place in Portsmouth Virginia, U.S.A., from 
June 24 (Sunday evening) through June 29 (Friday midday), 2018.

The HYP conference series brings together theoreticians and 
experimentalists working on hadron processes and nuclear systems 
containing strangeness, from single to multi-strangeness systems, and 
from few-body systems to neutron stars. The topics of the HYP conference 
have been extended to related fields such as low-energy aspects of QCD, 
dense and cold matter, as well as hadronic and nuclear systems with 
heavier flavors.

HYP2018 will be the thirteenth in the series of HYP conferences that 
were initiated in 1982 in Heidelberg and held periodically every three 
years. After HYP2003 at Jefferson Lab in U.S.A., the conference was 
successfully held and rotated between Japan and Europe (HYP2006 in 
Mainz, Germany, HYP2009 in Tokyo, Japan, HYP2012 in Barcelona, Spain, 
and HYP2015 in Sendai, Japan.)

HYP2018 is sponsored jointly by Hampton University and Thomas Jefferson 
National Accelerator Facility (JLab).All sessions (plenary, parallel, 
and poster) will take place in the Renaissance Portsmouth-Norfolk 
Waterfront Hotel, offering luxurious accommodations for an excellent 
rate. The Norfolk airport is only 20 minutes away by car or taxi.

*/__/*

The scientific program will be organized under the following topics:

1.Production, structure and decay of hypernuclei

2.Multistrange systems

3.Production of strangeness

4.Interactions of mesons and baryons with strangeness

5.Strangeness in hadron structure

6.Strange mesons in nuclei

7.Strangeness in astrophysics and in extreme forms of matter

8.Heavy flavor systems

9.Hypernuclei in heavy ion collisions

10.Future experiments and facilities

The scientific program (Monday, June 25 to Friday, June 29) comprises 
invited talks in the plenary and parallel sessions, and contributed 
papers in the parallel and poster sessions. In addition, a few special 
sessions may be held on specific subjects selected by IAC and OC. The 
oral presentations in the parallel sessions will be selected from the 
contributed abstracts.The call for abstracts opens on October 16, 2017 
and extends to March 2, 2018.

*/_Venue ( has changed since the First Announcement ! )_/*

Renaissance Portsmouth-Norfolk Waterfront Hotel, 425 Water Street, 
Portsmouth, Virginia, 23704, USA.All sessions will take place in the 
hotel facilities. The conference location makes it easy for participants 
to relax at the beautiful Portsmouth waterside along the Elizabeth River 
(and visit the Nauticus Naval Museum with the Battleship Wisconsin) and 
enjoy a variety of foods in the restaurants along the street beside the 
hotel as well as in the nearby Norfolk Waterside District and MacArthur 
Shopping Malls. Participants can also reach famous Virginia Beach by a 
25-minute drive, for dinner and/or a swim in the Atlantic Ocean.

*/_Submission of Abstracts_/*

With this announcement we are calling for abstracts. Those who wish to 
give presentations at HYP2018 are asked to submit an abstract by March 
2^nd following the instructions on the HYP2018 web page. All the 
abstracts need to be submitted through the web system. The organizing 
committee will separate accepted abstracts into invited or contributed 
categories, plenary or parallel session presentations, and oral or 
poster presentations.
