> Strange Quark Matter 2003 (SQM2003) Conference
> ----------------------------------------------
> Atlantic Beach, North Carolina
> March 12-17, 2003
>
> The 7th International Conference on Strange Quarks in Matter
> will be held from March 12-17, 2003 at the Sheraton Atlantic
> Beach Hotel in Atlanti Beach, North Carolina.
> 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 Sheraton Atlantic is an oceanfront hotel located on the island of
> Bogue Banks on the Southern Outer Banks of North Carolina.
> The location is a popular resort destination,
> featuring miles of unspoiled beaches, unique and interesting wildlife
> and aquatic habitats, and a broad selection of restaurants, pubs,
> and eateries. The nearest airport is New Bern, NC, which is easily
> accessible by air from all major centers via several daily flights
> on USAir through Charlotte. The nearest major airport is
> Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.
>
> 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.
> The permanent URL of the conference website is:
> http://www.phy.duke.edu/SQM2003
> Please bookmark the site. More details on the conference and the
> site will be posted 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 early in the Fall of
> 2002.
