The Sheraton > Atlantic is an oceanfront hotel located on the island of > Bogue Banks on the Southern Outer Banks of North Carolina. > It is easily accessible by air from all major centers via > daily flights on USAir through Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. > > The location for the Conference is a popular resort destination, > boasting miles of unspoiled beaches, unique and interesting > wildlife and aquatic habitats, and a broad selection of > restaurants, pubs, and eateries. This meeting is jointly > organized by Brookhaven National Laboratory, Duke University, > and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. > > The conference will focus on the physics of strange quarks in > matter and heavy flavor (c,b) production by nuclei, including their > role in characterizing hot hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma > formation. In addition to recent theoretical work, new results from > experiments at the GSI, AGS, SPS, and RHIC will be presented. > The future heavy-ion program at the LHC will also be discussed. > > Young researchers (PhD students and postdocs) are especially > encouraged to attend the conference, and some travel assistance > will be available to help support their participation in the > meeting. > > The fee for the Conference will be US $200. which includes > breaks, breakfasts and lunches, the conference banquet, and > a copy of the conference proceedings. A website for the > conference is in preparation, and will be announced soon. > > A lively, informative discussion is anticipated at the meeting, > leading to progress in advancing the state of the knowledge > concerning the role of strange quark and heavy flavor production > in nature. On behalf of the local and international organizing > committees, we invite you to participate and hope you will be able > to attend. A second circular with further details about the > program and the conference venue will be distributed in > September 2002. > > > > Sincerely, > > > Berndt Mueller Tim Hallman George Stephans > > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > -- Timothy J.
