18-21 October 2010

FIRST BULLETIN

1. Place and Date

The international Workshop on Probing Strangeness in Hard processes will be held at Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Italy, from Monday, October 18 to Thursday, October 21, 2010. The aim of the workshop is to offer the state of the art on the strangeness physics in hard processes and its experimental issues.

There will be no parallel sessions. Invited and contributed talks will be presented at the plenary sessions. A detailed preliminary program will be published in Bulletin n. 2.

5. Workshop Site

The Workshop will be held in Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati. Frascati is located on a pleasant hill about 20 km from Rome. It is particularly renowned for its beautiful villas and quality wines. All information can be accessed online through the web page: http://www.lnf.infn.it/conference/pshp2010/ A valid passport is required for entry in Italy from outside of the European Schengen area. Participants from some countries will also need a visa. Please see http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp for details.

6. Contributions and abstracts

Contributions to the workshop will be presented as invited reviews and talks on specific topics. Physicists interested in contributing to the scientific program are requested to submit a brief abstract (via web page), 120 words or 15 lines maximum, not later than August 31, 2010. Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their contributions.

7. Registration and Accommodation

People willing to participate should carefully fill in the Registration Form on the web page of the workshop (http://www.lnf.infn.it/conference/pshp2010/), not later than September 10, 2010. We have reserved for the workshop participants a number of rooms in hotels located in Frascati, close to the workshop venue. The price of the single room is about 70 Eur and the price for the double room is about 120 Eur per night, B&B. A shuttle-bus courtesy service will be organized from the hotels to the laboratory.

8. Workshop fee

The Workshop fee is 280 Euro. This includes a conference-kit, transportation from/to the hotels, lunches, social events and coffee breaks. The workshop fee has to be paid cash at the registration desk (no advance payment, no checks, no credit cards) upon arrival.

9. Transportation

Frascati is located 20 km South-East of Rome and about 40 km West of "Fiumicino" Airport or 20km from Ciampino Airport. The Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati are 2 km from the centre of Frascati. For detailed instructions on how to reach Frascati, please refer to the laboratory web-page: http://www.lnf.infn.it/lnfadmin/travel/travel.html

10. Living expenses
