SENDAI03 FINAL CIRCULAR

This is the FINAL announcement of the international symposium on "Electrophoto-production of Strangeness on Nucleons and Nuclei" hosted by the department of physics, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan in June 2003.

The symposium is motivated by recent progresses of the research on electrophoto-production of strangeness at GeV electron-beam facilities as well as extensive theoretical investigation in the field.

The symposium will focus on the strangeness production processes and strangeness nuclear physics by the electromagnetic interaction. It is planned as a small-sized international symposium with an intention to serve an opportunity for intensive discussions in an informal atmosphere. Both experimentalists and theorists in the field are expected to get together, and exchange information on recent activities and discuss future prospects of the related fields.

Transportation to Physics building of AOBAYAMA campus

The physics building of Tohoku University is located on the top of AOBAYAMA hill and can be reached by a public bus. You can take the bus (Aoba castle round-trip-bus through the aoba-dori street) from the bus-platform no. 9 of the Sendai station, to the 'Museum of Natural History, Faculty of Science' bus stop.

For those staying in the hotel ``Leopalace Sendai'', one of the organizers will meet at the lobby at 8:10 am.



5. Post-Symposium Discussion in the evening of June 18

Post-symposium discussion is arranged in the evening of June 18, after the last session is closed. We will move to Sakunami hot-springs located in the suburbs of Sendai, where we can get in 30 minutes by car; we will stay the night at a hotel in Sakunami. A bus will pick up those who join the post-symposium discussion at the Sendai International Center after the last session of SENDAI03 is concluded in the late afternoon.

Those who join the excursion on the 19th, Thursday, will enjoy interesting places in the Sendai area and will be dropped at the hotel in Sendai in the evening, unless otherwise requested. For those who plan to leave Sendai in the morning of June 19 by the 8:20 am flight (NH3132) to Narita at the Sendai airport, we will arrange transportation from the hotel at Sakunami to the Sendai airport. For people who go to the Sendai station, the transportation to the Sakunami station from the hotel will be arranged. The Sendai station can be reached by a commuter train form the Sakunami station.



6. Information on Sendai

The city of Sendai with a population of one million is the center of the northern part of Japan, Tohoku District. It is located about 350 km north of Tokyo and can be reached in 2 hours with a super-express train (Tohoku Shinkansen). A relatively strong earthquake hit northern part of Japan on the 26th of May, 2003, but fortunately there was no serious damage to the city. The city features an abundance of natural beauty that changes with the seasons. Sendai is nicknamed 'Mori no miyako' (literally city of green), which illustrates this perfectly. The city has a rich cultural heritage stretching back 400 years to its founding by feudal lord Date Masamune. The city is surrounded by mountains and the Pacific ocean, making its weather mild for its latitude.

Average temperature at Sendai in June is 18.3$^\circ$C (65$^\circ$F), but Japan has the rainy season in June. Therefore, it is occasionally chilly and it might be a good idea to bring an additional gauzy jacket. Further information on the city is found in the following Web pages.

7. Access information to Sendai

The most convenient way to come to Sendai from abroad is to fly to Narita International Airport (NRT). From Narita, there are two ways to reach Sendai, by train and by air, which are described below.

8. Symposium site

The symposium will take place on the 3rd floor (Room ``Shirakashi'') of the Sendai International Center, which is located in the walking distance from downtown and next to the lower part of the AOBAYAMA campus (Aoba-hill), Tohoku University. Pre-symposium is to be held at the physics building on the top of the AOBAYAMA campus.

SENDAIMAP AOBAYAMAP

Public buses to the symposium site are available from No. 9 bus stop of the Sendai station bus pool at the west exit.

Bus Pool

Information on the Sendai International Center and the access to the center can be obtained in the following WEB page.

http://www.sira.or.jp/english/i_center/index.html

For those who want to have the Internet connection during the conference, we will prepare a wire-less access point and 100 base-T hub. A few computers will be prepared in the symposium meeting room, but it is recommended to bring your lap-top with wire-less or Ethernet LAN card if you need internet connection at the conference site.



9. Hotels

We have reserved rooms in the hotel ``Leopalace Sendai'' for those requested in the registration form. The hotel is located close to downtown Sendai and just next to the Sendai Washington Hotel which we previously planed to reserve in the 2nd circular. The room charge is 6,000 Yen + tax (5%) for single and 12,000 Yen + tax for twin including breakfast. All the rooms have the Ethernet port and the internet can be accessed for free if you bring your lap-top computer and an ethernet cable.

The number of non-smoking rooms is quite limited and a smoking room may be assigned to the person who requests a non-smoking room. However, the hotel opened in this April and the interior is new.

The symposium site, Sendai International Center, can be reached within 10 minutes on foot from the hotel.



10. Registration

The registration fee of SENDAI03 is 10,000 Yen and it covers symposium proceedings, symposium dinner, refreshments during the symposium. The registration desk is open from 8:30 am at the symposium site and also during the welcome reception at the hotel ``Leopalace Sendai''. The registration fee is accepted only by cash.



11. Proceedings

The conference proceedings will be published by World Scientific. Pre-symposium talks will be also included in the proceedings. The maximum number of pages for the proceedings is set as follows,

45 min talk 12 pages,
30 min talk 10 pages,
20 min talk 7 pages,
15 min talk 5 pages.

Those who gave oral presentation are requested to submit a camera-ready manuscript to the organizer (sendai03@lambda.phys.tohoku.ac.jp) no later than September 30, 2003 with a set of LATEX file, figure files as well as the postscript files processed by LATEX.

The LATEX style file for the World Scientific can be obtained from the following Web page (trim size is 9.00''$\times$6.00''),
