Bulletin - HSQCD’2008, Gatchina, Russia, June 30 - July 4, 2008

An international Workshop "Hadron Structure and QCD" (HSQCD'2008)
is organized by St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute of
Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg State University,
V.A. Fock Institute of Physics, St. Petersburg Scientific
Center of Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Physics of
Slovak Academy of Sciences and Comenius University, Bratislava.

It will be held on June 30 - July 4, 2008 at Gatchina, a picturesque
southern suburb of St. Petersburg, especially wonderful in period
of the famous white nights.
Plenary and parallel sessions will be carried out at the site of
St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, Gatchina.

The aim of this workshops is to review the recent progress in the
hadronic physics, QCD, the Standard Model and its generalizations.
The joint Workshop unifies the series of two workshops:
"Hadron Structure" held in Slovakia from 1973, and
"Hadron Structure and QCD" held in St. Petersburg in 2004 and 2005.
Now the joint Workshop is carried out annually, in the odd years
in Slovakia and in the even years in Russia. The first joint Workshop HS’07 was held in Modra-Harmonia, Slovakia, September 3 - 7, 2007.

The physics topics of the workshop include:

• perturbative QCD, BFKL- and DGLAP- evolutions
• polarized & nonpolarized parton distribution functions, small-x physics
• hard diffraction and Pomeron physics
• heavy-ion collisions, quark-gluon matter
• nonperturbative QCD, lattice computations, chiral model of hadrons
• hadron spectroscopy, exotic states
• precision tests of the Standard Model, extensions of the Standard Model
• predictions for the LHC and future colliders

  At present we would like to know about your intention to participate
 in this workshop and ask you kindly to register on the web-side
 http://hepd.pnpi.spb.ru/~hsqcd2008/ as soon as possible,
 because the number of participants is limited.
 
Note, that 
the DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION: April 15, 2008 
the DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: May 15, 2008

 Please, fill the application form in "Visa information" at
 the HSQCD’2008 web-site, if you need Russian visa.
 Further, please inquire your local Russian consulate near your 
 residence whether a fax/scanned copy of the visa invitation 
 document is sufficient. 
 Note, due to the new regulations the citizens of the European 
 Union have now a simplified processing for preparing of the
 visa invitation documents for Russian visa.
 Note also, that the participants affiliated with CERN 
 can obtain Russian visa in a simplified way.
 
 Please, indicate also a tentative title of your talk at
 the registration. The program committee will select talks
 for plenary and parallel sessions.
 
 The conference fee is 400 EURO for senior participants and 250 EURO
 for students. The conference fee will cover meals, coffee-breaks,
 workshop dinner, various social events, transportation from/to airport 
 and workshop proceedings.
 Accompanying persons will be charged 300 EURO.
 
 Accommodation is varied from the modest Institute hotel
 "Akademicheskaya" and small hotels at Gatchina, as well as
 the hotels "Park Inn - Pulkovskaya" and "Rossiya" in the south
 of St. Petersburg. Booking in advance is required.
 
 Looking forward to hear from you,
 best regards,
