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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">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.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"

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.)</p>
