          International Workshop on
Particles and Radiation from Cosmic Accelerators CA2011

         Chiba University, Chiba, Japan
      22 March (Tue.) -- 24 March (Thu.), 2011

Web page: http://www.astro.phys.s.chiba-u.ac.jp/ca2011
=========================================================

1. Scientific Objectives

One of the major challenges in astrophysics is to reveal
the origin of cosmic high energy particles and radiation.
Our understanding in high energy astrophysical phenomena 
has been deepened recently through the observations by 
the Fermi satellite, ground based observations by MAGIC,
TA, and other instruments, and advances in numerical 
methods to simulate relativistic plasmas. Furthermore, 
we are anticipating the broadening of the horizon of high 
energy neutrino astrophysics by IceCube, which will be in 
full operation this year.   

In this workshop, we would like to review the progress 
in high energy astrophysics/astroparticle physics in last 
5 years since we held the first workshop on Particles and 
Radiation from Cosmic Accelerators (CA2005), and discuss 
the prospects for the future. Through this workshop, we 
hope to push forward the collaboration between the 
communities of high energy particle astrophysics, high 
energy astrophysics and plasma astrophysics.

2. Organizers

Shigeru Yoshida (Chiba University, Chair)
Ryoji Matsumoto (Chiba University, Co-chair)
Keiichi Mase (Chiba University)

3. Workshop Plan

This workshop will be held from March 22 to March 24, 2011. 
We focus on the following topics. We will have 2-3 key 
talks on each topic and call for contributed talks. 

Observations, theories, and simulations of
(1) High energy cosmic rays (TA/Auger)
(2) High energy gamma rays (Fermi/MAGIC)
(3) High energy neutrinos (IceCube) 
(4) Accretion disks, relativistic jets and winds
(5) Magnetic energy release in relativistic plasmas
(6) Particle acceleration

4. Invited Speakers

M. Ahlers (C.N.Yang Institute of Theoretical Physics)
M. Hayashida (SLAC)
S. Hirose (JAMSTEC)
M. Hoshino (Univ. Tokyo)
S. Koide (Kumamoto Univ.)

5. Call for papers

In addition to the key talks, we invite contributed talks. 
Please submit a title and short abstract with the 
registration form.

6. Registration

Please fill in the registration form attached below and 
send it by e-mail to ca2011 [at] astro.s.chiba-u.ac.jp by 
Feb. 14, 2011. Registration fee is 2000yen. The fee for 
banquet, which will be held in the evening of March 23, 
is 6000yen (3000yen for students). The registration fee 
and fee for banquet will be collected at the desk of 
registration on the meeting.  

7. Schedule

Feb.  14, 2011 : Deadline of registration and abstract
Feb.  28, 2011 : Second circular including program
Mar. 22-24, 2011: Meeting 

8. Travel Support

Only very limited amount of travel support is possible. 
If you need travel support seriously, please contact 
ca2011 [at] astro.s.chiba-u.ac.jp by email. Except the 
invited speakers, we can support only the domestic
expenses after arrival at Tokyo-Narita airport. 

9. Transportation

Chiba University is located between the Narita("New Tokyo")
International Airport and the downtown Tokyo. We are in the 
Nishi-Chiba ("West Chiba") campus, the main campus of the 
Chiba University. The easiest way to access to our campus 
is to catch the JR line. From the Chiba station that the 
train from the airport directly takes you, transfer to the 
JR sobu line local. The Nishi-Chiba station, the closest 
station to the campus is just a station ride from Chiba, 
which takes 3 minutes. This JR Sobu line takes off at 
Chiba every 10 minute or so, and it is real easy from 
Chiba to Nishi-Chiba. The University is right in front of 
the Nishi-Chiba station.

10. Lodging

We are going to arrange lodging for attendants from abroad. 
We can book hotel rooms near the JR Chiba station. Please 
let us know your preferable choice of the options listed 
below. We try to follow your preference as much as we can, 
but reservations we will make for you is first-in first-out 
basis.

                                  Rate
Double room (single occupancy)      9250yen/night
Double room (double occupancy)     13100
Single room                         8250
Cheaper single room                 5000

11. Visa

If you need our formal invitation letter to get a Japanese 
short-stay visa, please send e-mail to 
ca2011 [at] astro.s.chiba-u.ac.jp as soon as possible. 
General information is found in a web page of the Japanese 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
