Third Circular

It is our pleasure to announce that we are organizing a workshop
on supernovae and gamma-ray bursts at YITP, Kyoto, Japan from
Oct.14 to Nov.15, 2013.


The main aim of this workshop is to share the current knowledge
and the future prospects for research on the explosion mechanism
of core-collapse supernovae (CC-SNe) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).
Numerical simulation is a promising approach for studying the explosion
mechanism. Establishing the equation of state for dense matter is one
crucial ingredient, as well as understanding the composition and neutrino
properties of dense matter. Observational confirmation of the explosion
mechanism by MeV-neutrinos and gravitational waves is also very important.
Furthermore, CC-SNe and GRBs are special phenomena in the universe where
exotic physical conditions are realized. We would like to cover phenomena
related to these events such as plasma physics and radiation processes
in shocks of CC-SNe and GRBs and explosive nucleosynthesis. We hope that
many researchers in these fields will participate in the workshop.
To this end, we will provide the participants with excellent facilities
at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP), where they will
find it easy to have conversations and discussions with each other in a
pleasant atmosphere. We will also organize two conferences about the
state-of-the-art research in these fields where participants can present
their latest results. In particular, the current status of numerical
simulations performed on the fastest super-computer in Japan (K-computer),
of the Japanese gravitational wave detector in Japan (KAGRA), the
MeV-neutrino detector (Super-Kamiokande), and the next generation of X-ray
satellite (Astro-H) will be reported at the conferences.

Main topics of the workshop are:
1. Explosion Mechanism of Core-Collapse Supernovae
2. Equation of State for High-Density Matter
3. Structure of Neutron Stars as Remnants of CC-SNe
4. Collapsars and Magnetars as Central Engine of Long Gamma-Ray Bursts
5. Merging Compact Binaries as Central Engine of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
6. Neutrinos and Gravitational Waves as Signals of Death of Massive Stars
7. Progenitors of CC-SNe and GRBs
8. Multi-Wavelength Observations of SNe, GRBs, and their Remnants
9. Plasma Physics, Particle Acceleration, and Radiation Process in Shocks
   of SNe, GRBs, and their Remnants
10. UHECRs and VHE-Neutrinos and Gamma-Rays from GRBs
11. Explosive Nucleosynthesis in SNe and GRBs

The workshop will last 5 weeks in total, including two one-week conferences
on SNe and GRBs respectively. More than 100 people are expected to participate
in each conference (capacity of the conference hall at YITP is 120 people
maximally).
The remaining 3 weeks are spent for workshops where participants can hear
seminars in the morning and enjoy free discussions in the afternoon.
The capacity of the visitor facilities at YITP during the 3-week workshop is
50 maximally. The main scopes of the 3-week workshop are Nuclear Physics in
CC-SNe and GRBs (Oct. 14-18), CC-SNe (Oct. 21-25), and GRBs (Nov. 4-8).
Participants can choose their favorite dates to stay in Kyoto during the
workshop.
We can offer some financial support (probably for local expenses including
accommodation fee), although the budget is limited. We cannot guarantee that
we can cover all of local expenses especially for participants who are
planning a very long stay. Registration is open now.
Registration fee is 5,000 JPY and banquet fee is 5,000 JPY per person.
The fees can be paid by cash on site (only JPY is accepted).
