SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION
A tentative program of the Workshop is enclosed in
the latter part of the present circular.
All sessions have been decided to be
plenary by the committee. Every
participant, therefore, can join all sessions.
This is a philosophy of the HELION97, from
Quark to Life, that science should always be
universal beyond the barrier of each field.
Oral Presentation:
For oral presentations, two overhead projectors, can
be used simultaneously. A slide projector is also
available, while a video display is not. Every view
graph should be prepared using adequate size of
letters and figures in colors distinctly visible.
If you prefer poster presentation(s)
rather than oral ones, please inform us as soon
as possible. The location of the poster
presentation might also be prepared.
PROCEEDINGS
The Workshop proceedings, including the invited talks, and contributions
presented both orally and on posters, will be published as a special issue of
the Nuclear Instruments and Methods (Elsevier Science B.V., the Netherlands)
after reviewed by referee(s) we ask. Therefore, each manuscript should be
original and carefully prepared with refined English avoiding illogical,
unnecessary expressions. A copy of the proceedings will be mailed to each
registered participant as early as possible after publication.
All the invited and oral speakers (and poster-presenters) are asked to
submit manuscripts no later than the last day of the Workshop (Jan. 24, 1997).
An instruction document for the manuscript preparation will soon be announced
by another forthcoming e-mail.

Weather:
Winter in Kobe is not so cold. The temperature is usually 5-10 degree day time and 0-5 degreeat night. Snow is unlikely during January.
Currency:
The Japanese Yen is only the accepted currency. Money exchange can be
done at banks at the airport. Major foreign currencies are
also exchangeable at banks in the town. Major credit cards
and traveller's checks are acceptable in the major shops,
department stores, and restaurants.
Tip:
Since tips are usually included in the bill as
a service charge sometimes, you do not worry
about tips.
Electricity:
The standard electric power is 100 V A.C. with 60 Hz in
the western part of Japan including Osaka/Kobe region.
Be careful, however, that the frequency changes to 50 Hz
when you visit the eastern part of Japan, e.g. Tokyo.
Miscellaneous:
The town of Kobe had been developed as one of the ports
open for foreign countries since 130 years ago. Therefore,
a lot of foreign people coming from Asia, America, Australia,
and Europe are living in and are making the town an international
atmosphere.
However, as you probably remember, Kobe was attacked by the
fatal earthquake almost 2 years ago. All the life-lines
including electricity, gas- and water-system, railroads,
and highways were almost completely destroyed. You
will, however, find that the city could considerably recover
by the patient efforts. A part of this recover owes, of course, to
warm help from foreign countries. We are very proud that we could
recover our city in such a short period. The government of Hyogo prefecture
where Kobe is involved named her recovery project, "PHOENIX plan".
In a similar way that a phoenix is born out of the fire which burned herself,
Kobe will hopefully be born again from the ash.
