24th International Symposium on Spin Physics<br>
September 21-25, 2020, Matsue, Japan<br>
----------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The 24th International Symposium on Spin Physics (SPIN 2020) will be <br>
held at Kunibiki Messe Convention Center in Matsue, Shimane prefecture, <br>
Japan on September 21-25, 2020.<br>
The International Spin Physics Symposium series has been held jointly <br>
since 2000, combining the High Energy Spin Symposia and the Nuclear <br>
Polarization Conferences.<br>
The most recent symposia took place in Dubna, Russia (2012), Beijing, <br>
China (2014), Urbana Champaign, USA (2016), and Ferrara, Italy (2018).<br>
SPIN 2020 will be co-chaired by Yuji Goto and Tomohiro Uesaka (RIKEN).<br>
<br>
The scientific program of SPIN 2020 will include topics related to spin <br>
phenomena in particle and nuclear physics as well as those in related <br>
fields.<br>
The symposium topics cover acceleration, storage and polarimetry of <br>
polarized beams; applications of spin physics; fundamental symmetries <br>
and physics beyond the standard model; future facilities and <br>
experiments; nucleon structure; polarized ion and lepton sources and <br>
targets; spin physics in nuclear reactions and nuclei; spin physics <br>
using photon, lepton and hadron probes; and the spin structure of hadrons.<br>
The symposium format consists of talks in plenary, parallel and poster <br>
sessions.<br>
<br>
Matsue city and Shimane prefecture are a famous and interesting area <br>
with over 2,000 years of history ranging from the Japanese creation myth <br>
era to modern times.<br>
You can find the Izumo Taisha (Grand Shrine), the historic Tatara Iron <br>
Mill, Matsue Castle, famous Japanese gardens and other popular sights here.<br>
Matsue can be easily accessed from two nearby local airports, Izumo <br>
airport and Yonago airport, both of which are connected to Japan's large <br>
international airports in Tokyo, Osaka, etc. by more than 10 daily flights.<br>
