Dear Colleagues, We are happy to announce the Web registration page for TIPP09 is now open at http://tipp09.kek.jp Please register before January 31st to take advantage of the early registration fee. The Web registration is available until February 28th. However, the Web registration page might be closed earlier if the number of the registrants reaches to the maximum capacity of 450 people. We encourage you to register and book your hotel rooms early. Although we expressed our invitation-only policy for the conference participants in the first bulletin, we have changed it for easier access from any part of the globe. Anyone who wishes to attend the conference can make a registration.

The abstracts will be reviewed by the appropriate conveners and assigned to relevant oral/ poster sessions if accepted. The corresponding author will be notified about abstract acceptance as oral/poster contribution via email by around December 10th. The Proceedings of the conference will be published. As for the scientific program, time allocation to parallel and plenary sessions has been fixed, and now we are on process of selection for the plenary speakers. We will announce the plenary speakers shortly. Following is the list of the parallel sessions; 1) Gaseous detectors 2) Semiconductor detectors 3) Calorimeters 4) Particle identification and photon detectors 5) Experimental detector systems 6) Astrophysics and space instrumentation 7) Instruments for non-accelerator physics 8) Front-end electronics 9) Trigger and data acquisition systems 10) Accelerator and beam instrumentation 11) Instrumentation for medical, biological and materials research Short lecture course for young students: March 14 (Sat) We will have a course of lectures on particle detector technology for young students. Distinguished experts participating the conference will explain from basic phenomena of particle interaction with material to their application to the most advanced detector development. Social Events Many attractive social programs are planned. A) Bunraku puppet play: March 13(Fri) 18:00-19:30 We enjoy a Bunraku Puppet Play (or Ningyo Joruri) which is said to have been performed from the late seventeenth century. In late eighteenth century people in Shirai village near Tsukuba started to play Bunraku by themselves for their festival. The play was once diminished in 1920, but is rebuilt recently. You can also enjoy Shamisen sound and classic songs. (see http://www.geocities.jp/makabeshiraiza/index.html [Japanese] http://www.bunraku.or.jp/ [Japanese/English] ) B) Excursion: March 15 (Sun) We will make one-day trip on Sunday, March 15 as the TIPP09 excursion. Three tours, to the sights of Japanese tradition, are being arranged. These sights are easily accessed from Tsukuba, and March is the best season to visit there. Each tour will be escorted by an English- speaking guide and operated with a chartered coach. 1) Mito-Kasama (beautiful garden with Japanese plum trees in full blossom, famous shrine and pottery), 2) Nikko (famous shrine built in honour of the first Tokugawa Shogun), and 3) Narita-Kashima (historically noted temple and shrines).
