Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>
I send you the second circular of the KEK theory center workshop on
<br>
Hadron physics with high-momentum hadron beams at J-PARC in 2015
<br>
March 13-16, 2015, KEK, Tsukuba, Japan

.
<br>
<br>
There is also a meeting "Toward a proposal on high-energy hadron
<br>
physics at J-PARC" on March 12.
<br>
<br>
The scientific program of the main workshop (March 13-16) consists
<br>
of invited talks; however, we hope that you join discussions
<br>
at the workshop.
<br>
<br>
Best Regards, Shunzo Kumano, KEK

***** Pre-workshop meeting: March 12, 2015 *****
<br>
"Toward a proposal on high-energy hadron physics at J-PARC"
<br>
Meeting Room 1, 1st Floor, Kenkyu-Honkan, KEK, Tsukuba, Japan
<br>
<br>
There is a meeting toward a J-PARC proposal on high-energy hadron
<br>
physics on March 12 before the main workshop. Wen-Chen Chang,
<br>
Jen-Chieh Peng, Shin'ya Sawada, and other people have been
<br>
studying on a possible proposal. We discus topics on high-energy
<br>
hadron physics, especially on exclusive (and inclusive) Drell-Yan,
<br>
... and related topics at this meeting. You may also join this
meeting
<br>
if you are interested in the topic.
<br>
* We expect to have this meeting at 13:00-17:00 on March 12.
<br>
------------------------------------------------
<br>
<br>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br>
<br>
The workshop on hadron physics with high-momentum hadron beams at
J-PARC
<br>
in 2015 will be held from March 13 to March 16, 2015 at KEK,
Tsukuba,
<br>
Japan. This workshop is intended to discuss possible hadron-physics
<br>
projects by using the high-momentum beamline at J-PARC. The
high-momentum
<br>
hadron beam was financially approved by the Japanese government in
2013,
<br>
and it is expected to be ready in 2016.
<br>
<br>
We list some physics topics in the following "Possible
hadron-physics
<br>
topics"; however, any interesting new ideas are welcome from both
<br>
theorists and experimentalists.
<br>
<br>
If you are interested in participating in the workshop,
<br>
***** please register by February 6, 2015 *****
<br>
especially because the KEK dormitory will be crowded
<br>
in the middle of March, 2015.
<br>
<br>
We are looking forward to seeing you at the workshop.
<br>
<br>
Sincerely, Shunzo Kumano, Osamu Morimatsu, Kyoichiro Ozawa, Shin'ya
Sawada (KEK)
<br>
<br>
===========================================================================
<br>
<br>
----------------------
<br>
High-momentum beamline
<br>
----------------------
<br>
The high-momentum beamline can transport the primary proton beam (30
GeV)
<br>
with the intensity of 10<sup class="moz-txt-sup"><span
style="display:inline-block;width:0;height:0;overflow:hidden">^</span>10</sup>
- 10<sup class="moz-txt-sup"><span
style="display:inline-block;width:0;height:0;overflow:hidden">^</span>12</sup>/sec
to the Hadron Hall, and it is
<br>
a branch from the main proton beam of 10<sup class="moz-txt-sup"><span
style="display:inline-block;width:0;height:0;overflow:hidden">^</span>13</sup>
or 10<sup class="moz-txt-sup"><span
style="display:inline-block;width:0;height:0;overflow:hidden">^</span>14</sup>/sec.
In addition,
<br>
by installing a thin production target into the main proton beam
<br>
at the branching point, one can obtain unseparated secondary beams
<br>
such as pions etc. The beam intensity of these secondaries depends
<br>
on its species and momentum. A typical intensity for 10 GeV/c (15
GeV/c)
<br>
pions would be in the order of 10<sup class="moz-txt-sup"><span
style="display:inline-block;width:0;height:0;overflow:hidden">^</span>7</sup>/sec
(10<sup class="moz-txt-sup"><span
style="display:inline-block;width:0;height:0;overflow:hidden">^</span>6</sup>/sec)
or so. The intensity
<br>
for higher momentum beams would be less. The construction of
<br>
the beamline has been started.
<br>
<br>
------------------------------
<br>
Possible hadron-physics topics
<br>
------------------------------
<br>
The following list is just an example of possible projects.
<br>
We welcome new ideas on the projects.
<br>
* high-energy exclusive processes (GPD, quark counting, ...)
<br>
* pQCD, partonic structure of nucleon and nuclei, spin physics
<br>
* charmed-hadron physics, intrinsic charm and strange
<br>
* hadron properties in nuclear medium
<br>
* quark/hadron interactions in nuclear medium
<br>
* related theoretical developments
<br>
* other ideas on possible projects
<br>
<br>
For getting a rough idea of discussion topics, you may look at
<br>
the previous workshop
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www-conf.kek.jp/hadron1/j-parc-hm-2013/">http://www-conf.kek.jp/hadron1/j-parc-hm-2013/</a>.
<br>
In the workshop of 2015, we expect to focus more on each topic
toward
<br>
new proposals or updates of proposals, especially on
<br>
(1) high-energy hadron physics (exclusive reactions, nucleon
structure)
<br>
(2) charm-production cross sections and spectroscopy
<br>
(3) mass modifications and possible relation to chiral symmetry
restoration.

.
<br>
<br>
If you need KEK support, please proceed the web registration
<br>
by assuming the support. We will decide the support just after
<br>
the deadline (February 6) and will inform you. If you request
<br>
the KEK support, please stay at the KEK dormitory. However,
<br>
if you wish to stay at an outside hotel, you may follow the document
<br>

(page 11).
<br>
The financial support is intended mainly for young scientists who do
not
<br>
have own fund. If you have your own financial source, we hope that
<br>
you use it if possible.
<br>

<br>
Registration fee
<br>
----------------
<br>
The registration fee is 4500-yen (2500-yen for graduate students
<br>
and postdocs), including the fee for a get-together party and
coffee.
<br>
The payment should be done at the registration desk at the workshop
<br>
site with CASH (Japanese Yen) only.
<br>
Please note that the registration fee cannot be supported for
<br>
all the participants due to a KEK regulation because it is
<br>
for the banquet, coffee, and snacks.
