SECOND CIRCULAR


     The 7th International Workshop on Polarized 3He Beams and Gas Targets and Their 
Application (HELION97) will be held in Kobe, Japan from January 20 through 24, 1997. 
     The (HELION97) workshop venue is the Kobe International Conference Center of the 
Kobe Port Island, a modern artificial island inside the Kobe bay area, located close 
both to the Osaka (Kansai) International Airport and to the center of Kobe city.
     The HELION97 workshop will focus on the recent development and future direction of
studies with the polarized 3He nucleus involving a variety of fields from quark physics 
to life science.

1. Scope and topics:

3. Registration:
    If you plan to attend the HELION97 workshop, you are requested to fill in
the Registration form and send it to the workshop secretariat. The deadline is
postponed until 20 December, 1996.    The registration fee for the HELION97 
workshop is 20,000 Japanese Yen and should be paid at the Registration with 
cash (credit cards or travellers checks are not acceptable). The fee covers 
the cost of all scientific sessions, the Book of abstracts, the Proceedings, 
refreshments during the meeting, a ticket to the Banquet, and a tour to the 
SPring-8 and the RCNP, Osaka University.
    Graduate students, in particular, are encouraged to join the HELION97 
workshop. Their registration fee is reduced to 15,000 Japanese Yen.

4. Call for contributed papers:
    Participants are encouraged to submit one-page camera-ready abstracts of
their contributions written in good English. We select oral and poster 
presentations from the contributions. We also organize a poster session in easy and relaxed atmosphere. 
    Please note that the deadline for submission is  postponed until 
20 November, 1996. Before 1 December, 1996, each one who submitted 
contributed paper(s) will be informed whether one's contribution(s) has (have)
been accepted to present in oral or poster sessions. 
5. Proceedings:
   We plan to publish the proceedings of the HELION97 workshop. All
of the invited talkers, oral and poster presenters should submit manuscripts
with specific lengths. If the submitted manuscripts are accepted by referee(s)
whom we ask, they will be published as a special issue of {\bf the Nuclear 
Instruments and Methods} (Elsevier Science publishing Co., the Netherlands). 
Since the publisher strictly requests that the total page of the proceedings 
should not exceed 270 pages, you are requested to carefully prepare
original manuscripts written with good English avoiding unnecessary
expressions. 
   The manuscript should be submitted no later than the last day of the
workshop, i.e., 24 January, 1997. Further detailed guide for the 
preparation of the manuscripts will be announced in the forthcoming third 
circular.   
6. Workshop site and Accommodation:
  The HELION97 workshop will be held at ;              
the Kobe International Conference Center
      Minatojima Nakamachi 6-9-1, Chuo-ku, Kobe 650        
      phone: +81 78 302 5200      fax: +81 78 302 6485    

     The hotel, Pearl City Kobe, and the lodging house of the  RCNP are
available as accommodation. We strongly suggest you to choose the former hotel 
because the hotel, Pearl City Kobe is very close to the workshop site 
(only 5 min. walk!) and in addition the room charge is a special discount 
price for the HELION97 workshop, only 7300 Yen including tax, service 
charge and breakfast. 
     The RCNP lodging house is located, on the other hand, at the northern part
of Osaka which is located about 50 km from the workshop site. Therefore, one
who wishes to stay there must come to the workshop site by train every morning.
It takes approximately 1.5 hours (sometimes more than 2 hours in the morning
rash hour) and a travel expense is more than 500 Yen one way. Lodging cost 
is 1,000 Yen per night with no service of breakfast and shower.
