1. General Information

 
The Centre for the Subatomic Structure of Matter (CSSM) at the University of Adelaide will host the International Conference on Quark Nuclear Physics. The conference will be held Monday through (and including) Friday, 21-25 February, 2000, with a break on Wednesday afternoon for a conference excursion. The CSSM will provide administrative support.

The Conference will be held at the Adelaide Hilton Hotel, Victoria Square, Adelaide. The Conference secretariat and computer facilities for delegates will also be housed at the Hilton Hotel.

• Threshold meson production with electromagnetic and hadronic probes (H. Stroeher)
• Recent Results from HERA (D. Wegener)
• Theoretical Issues in Deep Inelastic Scattering (E. Reya)
• The Spin Structure of the Nucleon (R. Milner)
• Recent results from Jefferson Laboratory (E. Smith)
• Nuclear Deep Inelastic Scattering (W. Weise)
• Quark Models of Nuclear Systems (P. Guichon)
• Latest results on color transparency - EVA (S. Heppelmann)
• Effective Field Theories for Strongly Interacting Systems (U. van Kolck)
• Pion-Baryon Interactions (G. Wagner)

5. Contributed Papers

There will be a number of parallel sessions and poster sessions. We will accommodate as many requests for oral presentations as possible. Contributed papers are welcomed. They should be submitted as postscript files, preferably encoded using the uufiles utility, which can be obtained from the Los Alamos archive or the conference home page. The length should be a one or two A4 pages. The name of the author who will present the contribution should be underlined. Deadline for receipt: 30th November, 1999. Submission by airmail is also acceptable, but the contribution must reach Adelaide by 30^th November, 1999. All registered contributors will be notified of whether the paper has been accepted for oral or poster presentation by 31^th January, 2000. (The program has been delayed a week, but almost all requests for oral presentations will be met. Please feel free to contact us immediately if you need information urgently.)

Please send all contributions to qnp2000@physics.adelaide.edu.au.
