[Iac_hadron_2015] Hadron 2015 Newport News, VA, USA September 13-18

[Michael Pennington]

dear International Organizing Committee members

                                            first many apologies to those who have not heard from me for some time.
This was because I foolishly continued to use the Hadron2013 IAC mailing group at KEK for some of you. I have only this week discovered
that this has not been working from here, and so I have setup the 2015 IAC JLab mail to cover everyone.


For those who I have heard from, thank you for your inputs to the review speakers (given below).

To remind you the themes of this biennial conference are:

SPECTROSCOPY OF MESONS & BARYONS
--Types of hadron (Robert JAFFE)
--First results from GlueX (Curtis MEYER)
--Spectroscopy results from COMPASS, Belle, BES, CLAS, COMPASS, ELSA, LHCb, MAMI, (BaBar, GRAAL)
--The Lambda(1405) (Tetsuo HYODO)

HADRON SURPRISES
--The XYZ states : overviews - experiment and theory (Valentina SANTORO, Eric SWANSON)

QCD
--QCD on the lattice: spectrum, scattering and structure (Christian LANG)
--QCD in the continuum: spectrum and structure (Ian CLOET)
--QCD confinement

AMPLITUDE ANALYSIS TOOLS
--Amplitude Analyses for meson and baryons, tools and technology (Christoph HANHART)

HADRON STRUCTURE
--Hadron structure (Mariaelena BOGLIONE, Xiangdong JI)
--Orbital motion of quarks and gluons (Cedric LORCE)
--Latest structure results from COMPASS and JLab

BEYOND THE STANDARD MODEL
--signatures in hadron physics


MODELS: EFT, LARGE N_c, ....

--Hypernuclei (Emiko HIYAMA)

FUTURE FACILITIES
-- BELLE II, FAIR, EIC, J-PARC 


I once again solicit suggestions for reviewers for plenary talks to add to those above,
AND
your suggestions for conveners for the parallel sessions in the broad themes listed in capital letters.

I apologize again to those of you who have not heard from me till now.
May I ask for your response by JANUARY 4th 2015 at the latest.

                            thank you


                 regards   Michael Pennington


ps the conference poster will be sent separately for those who have not seen it yet
