The international workshop on

future potential of high intensity proton accelerator for particle and nuclear physics

(HINT2015)

October 13-15, 2015

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

The international workshop on future potential of high intensity proton accelerator for particle and nuclear physics (HINT2015) will be held at J-PARC, Tokai-Village, Ibaraki, Japan from 13th to 15th October, 2015. This workshop follows the workshop held in December 2012 at J-PARC on “Future direction of Proton Intensity Frontier”.

The workshop will focus on future prospects of high intensity proton accelerators and beams toward Multi-MW beam power and, new frontier of particle and nuclear physics enabled by the high intensity beams.

This workshop is supported by

Grant‐in‐Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas, Unification and Development of the Neutrino Science Frontier

TOPICS

There will be sessions covering the following topics;

Present status and future plan of world high intensity proton accelerators
Technical challenges to realize Multi-MW accelerators
Technical challenges to realize Multi-MW beam facilities
Neutrino physics with high intensity beam
Kaon particle physics with high intensity beam
Muon particle physics with high intensity beam
Hypernuclear physics with high intensity beam
Hadron physics with high intensity beam
Neutron physics with high intensity beam

MEETING STRUCTURE

This workshop consists mainly of plenary sessions by invited speakers and one poster session. Also we plan to organize J-PARC site tour during afternoon of October 15. Tentative structure of the workshop is;

October 13: Registration, Plenary sessions, Poster session
October 14: Plenary sessions, Workshop diner
October 15: Plenary sessions, J-PARC site tour (afternoon), Adjourn

POSTER SESSION

Participants are invited to present posters in fields of research related to the conference topics. Instructions for poster submission will be available later on the workshop website. Since space is limited, poster proposals will be submitted to a selection committee before acceptance. The organizers particularly encourage younger participants to play an active role in the workshop by presenting their work in the poster session. Deadline for the abstract submission is August 13 (extended to) August 31.

TRAVEL SUPPORT

Limited amount of travel support is available. Speakers who needs travel support may contact us although our budget may not able to cover all requests.

REGISTRATION FEE

The registration fee is 3,000 yen. Participation in the workshop dinner costs another 3,000 yen for regular participants, 1,000 yen for students. We will collect these fees in cash at the workshop reception desk.
