Our understanding of the nuclear matter in neutron stars and their inner structure has been developed through recent astronomical observations on neutron star mass and radius, various new experimental data for neutron-rich nuclei and hypernuclei obtained at RIKEN, J-PARC and other laboratories, thermodynamic properties of ultra-cold atoms, as well as theoretical studies to combine those results. The symposium is intended to exchange information on those recent results and to discuss future directions of the study on neutron star matter. The symposium is organized by the project team of the Grant-In-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas titled “Nuclear Matter in Neutron Stars Investigated by Experiments and Astronomical Observations”. =Host= The symposium is hosted by the Grant-In-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas, “Nuclear Matter in Neutron Stars Investigated by Experiments and Astronomical Observations”, MEXT, Japan, and co-hosted by Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University. =Web site= http://lambda.phys.tohoku.ac.jp/nstar/NSMAT2016/ =Topics= ・Astronomical observations of neutron stars ・Theoretical studies on neutron stars ・Equation of state of nuclear matter ・Neutron-rich nuclei and neutron skins ・Strangeness in nuclei ・Nuclear force and baryon-baryon interactions ・Ultra-cold atoms and equation of state ・High density nuclear matter and quark matter =Venue= The main part of NSMAR2016 is held at the “Aoba Science Hall” in the Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University, located at Aobayama in Sendai city, Japan. You can easily reach the venue by “Tozai”-line subway from Sendai JR station, where you can reach from Tokyo via “Tohoku Shinkansen” (~1.5 hours) or from Sendai Airport via the Sendai airport access train (~30 min). Please get off the Tozai-line subway at “Aobayama” station, the 5th stop from Sendai station to the west direction (for “Yagiyama”). After getting onto the ground, please find a round-shaped building (H-04, Science Complex C) nearby. The venue is at the entrance floor (2F) of this building. Address: Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University 6-3 Aramaki-aza-Aoba, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8576, Japan =Scientific Sessions and Schedule= The following is a rough time table including the pre-and post-symposia. (This table is subject to change). The scientific sessions and the reception (shown in red) will be held in the “Aoba Science Hall” of Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan from 9:00 am on Monday through early afternoon on Wednesday. The scientific sessions consist of invited talks, selected contributed talks, as well as a poster session. Progress reports from the “Neutron Star Matter” project team of the Grant-In-Aid will be also presented. Depending on the number of contributions, parallel sessions may be organized. =Sakunami discussion session= In the evening on Wednesday, we will have a “discussion session” at Sakunami for those who wish to attend it (shown in orange). The participants in the discussion session will move by bus to the hot spring hotel, “Ichinobo” at Sakunami, located in the suburb of Sendai, and stay there for one night together. We will have plenty of time for discussion in a relaxed atmosphere. The participants will come back to Sendai after breakfast. =Invited speakers= T. Aumann (Darmstadt), G. Colo (Milan), C. Done (Durham), D. Lonardoni (ANL), Bao-An Li (Texas A&M), K. Nakazawa (Gifu), Shina Tan (Georgia Tech.), A. W. Thomas (Adelaide), W. Trautmann (GSI), Y. Yamamoto (RIKEN)　　　　 　 =Abstract submission= Please send us a half or one page abstract (A4, 11pt) in pdf format following the template http://lambda.phys.tohoku.ac.jp/nstar/NSMAT2016_abstract_template.zip by September 20th by sending to NSMAT2016 [at] lambda.phys.tohoku.ac.jp The abstract will be reviewed by the organizers and the assignment of oral or poster presentations will be notified in two weeks. =Registration fee= 7,000 yen. It covers the reception, coffee, and refreshment in the poster session. In addition, participants in the discussion session at Sakunami need to pay 16,000 yen per person (also for accompanying persons) for one-night lodging at the hot-spring hotel including a Japanese-style dinner and a breakfast. The registration fee and the Sakunami hotel fee need to be paid in cash (Japanese yen only) at the registration desk during the symposium. =Registration= The registration can be done together for the four events, SNP School 2016, NSMAT2016, Sakunami discussion session, and ANPhA2016 though the web page: http://lambda.phys.tohoku.ac.jp/nstar/NSMAT2016/ We request you to register them together at once, if you attend two or more of them. If necessary, however, you may make separate registrations. The deadline for registration is ・October 15 if you participate in Sakunami discussion session ・October 15 if you need a hotel reservation in Sendai by the organizer ・November 5 for all the other participants =Social Events= The welcome dinner party will be held at the symposium venue in the evening on Monday. The participants in NSMAT2016 and their accompanying persons are welcome. Sakunami discussion session serves also as an excursion and a banquet for NSMAT2016. The NSMAT2016 participants are recommended to join the Sakunami session. =Accommodation= Many hotels are available in the downtown and near the Sendai station and you may book your hotel room by yourself. However, particularly for foreign participants, the organizer booked some number of rooms at our recommended hotels, “Arc Hotel Sendai” (about 7,400 yen per night) and some others, which are reasonably priced and located near the downtown and close to a subway station. If you want to stay there, please tell us, in the registration form, the dates you will stay. (Please note that the number of our booked rooms is limited. Your room will be assigned on the first-come-first-served basis.) All the participants in the Sakunami discussion session must stay at the “Ichinobo” hotel at night on Wednesday. The room reservation and payment can be made only by the organizer. The participants are requested to pay the free (16,000 yen per one person) at the registration desk. =VISA= Those who need a visa to enter Japan need to contact the organizer as soon as possible, since the issuance of a visa may take a long time.
