[Cuga] 10th Workshop on Hadron physics in China and Opportunities Worldwide- a message from J.P. Chen

[Lorelei Carlson]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the “10th Workshop on Hadron physics in 
China and Opportunities Worldwide”, will take place at ShanDong 
University(Weihai), China from July 26th to July 30th, 2018.

Hadron Physics has drawn great interests from the Chinese nuclear and 
high-energy physics communities and has been one of the main research 
fields at institutes and universities in China. At the same time, the 
Chinese collaborations are playing increasingly important roles at 
international hadron physics facilities (Jefferson Lab, RHIC, 
COMPASS at CERN, J-PARC, …), in particular, at the recently upgraded 12 
GeV-energy Jefferson Lab in US, which will provide a broad range of 
opportunities for frontier research in hadronic physics.

The major topics covered at the workshop are opportunities at upcoming 
new facilities, and the current status of hadron physics with the 
particular focus being on the three-dimensional imaging of 
nucleon/nuclei, nucleon spin structure, etc. that can be explored at 
Jefferson Lab，RHIC, and a proposed Electron-Ion Colliders (EIC) in U.S., 
and possibly at an EIC at HIAF which has been widely discussed in China. 
Also ways to further enhance and promote collaborations between the 
Chinese and the international hadron physics communities will be 
discussed at this workshop.

This workshop follows its series previously held in Nanjing(2017), 
Wuhan(2016), Kunshan (2015), Lanzhou (2014), Huangshan (2013), Beijing 
(2012), Weihai (2011), Beijing (2010), and Lanzhou (2009).

Weihai is a coastal city located in the northeastern province of 
ShanDong, and is a popular tourist attraction during summer time. The 
beach right next to the conference venue is often ranked as one of the 
best beaches in China. It has perfect swimming conditions in July and 
August.

This workshop will be co-chaired by Jianping Chen(JLab), Haiyan Gao(Duke 
University and Duke Kunshan University) and Zuo-tang Liang(ShanDong 
University).

information will be available soon.  Please check it now and then.

Best regards,
Jian Zhou
