[Cuga] 3rd announcement for HYP2018- a message from Liguang Tang

[Lorelei Carlson]

*Third 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.

*/Scientific Program/*

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.

*/Registration/*

Online registration will start on January 8, 2018. Early (price 
discounted) registration will extend until May 18, 2018.

The early registration fee is $375, which covers the Sunday reception, 
scientific program events, and the proceedings. A reduced early 
registration fee of $150 is offered for students. The registration fee 
after May 18 is $450 for regular participants and $225 for students. 
Payment should be done in dollars via major credit cards through the web 
page when registering. A boat-cruise and banquet dinner will be held (at 
an additional cost to be determined). On-site payment at the same rates 
will be possible.

*/Accommodations/*

Accommodations with be at the conference hotel mentioned above. A 
reservation link will be available on the conference registration 
webpage, and a deposit for the first night will be collected (or credit 
card guarantee). The number of rooms at the conference rate of $93 is 
limited, so please plan to book in a timely way.

*/Transportation/*

The best way to reach the conference site is by taxi or Uber from the 
Norfolk airport. The taxi fee is about $35.
