<br>
We are pleased to announce that the SNP School 2020 will<br>
be held at J-PARC, Tokai, Japan, from December 2nd to 5th,<br>
2020 hosted by J-PARC, RCNP-Osaka, ELPH-Tohoku, KEK-IINAS,<br>
ASRC JAEA, ANPhA, RIKEN Nishina Center and GP-PU of Tohoku<br>
Univ. This is the ninth one of a series which has been held<br>
every year since 2012. Recently, the SNP School were held<br>
in 2017 at Tokai (J-PARC), 2018 in Osaka (RCNP) and 2019<br>
at Sendai (Tohoku U).<br>
<br>
Since we cannot predict the situation of COVID-19 in<br>
December now, the style of the school, either person to<br>
person or remote, may be changed in a flexible manner but<br>
we would like to fix the duration of the school, December<br>
2 – 5 (four days), 2020. If the situation is still difficult<br>
or unclear in several months, we will decide to prepare the<br>
remote style, which will be announced before you need to plan<br>
your travel. If the situation is getting improved, possible<br>
participants can attend the school at Tokai, while others<br>
still in remote, namely the style of the school will be hybrid.<br>
<br>
The school will have several lectures and topical talks on<br>
strangeness nuclear physics as well as other related and wider<br>
subjects from hadron to cold atom physics. We believe that<br>
such wider discussions are useful for young physicists and<br>
also to researches conducted at accelerator facilities for<br>
hadron beams such as J-PARC (Japan), GSI and FAIR (Germany),<br>
RCNP (Japan) and for electron beams as CEBAF at Jefferson Lab<br>
(USA), MAMI-C at Mainz University (Germany) and ELPH at<br>
Tohoku University (Japan) etc. Lectures by leading physicists<br>
will overview related subjects both from experiment and theory,<br>
and topical talks on recent progress and future prospects of<br>
the fields will be also given.<br>
The tour to visit accelerator facility of J-PARC is planned<br>
as a part of the school, if the school will be held on-site.<br>
In addition, the school will organize a “young researchers’<br>
session” to give a chance of oral and poster presentations<br>
by young participants. We encourage you to present your<br>
research activities in this session as well as to enjoy the<br>
lectures.<br>
<br>
Details of the SNP School 2020 will be announced later on<br>
the web. If you have any questions about SNP School 2020,<br>
please contact us via the following organizer address:<br>
