Subject: MESON conference bulletin

Description: This is a public information bulletin for the International Workshop on Meson
Physics MESON.

MESON conference organized by The Institute of Physics of Jagiellonian
University, Forschungszentrum Jülich, INFN-LNF Frascati and Institute of Nuclear
Physics PAS Cracow, is a biennial workshop to establish closer contacts between
experimentalists and theorists involved in the studies of meson production,
properties and interaction. The workshop will cover lectures on both
experimental and theoretical aspects, in particular the presentation of new results.

The main topics of the workshop are:
* hadronic and electromagnetic meson production,
* meson interaction with mesons, baryons, ground state nuclei as well as hot and
dense nuclear matter,
* structure of hadrons,
* precision measurements as tests of fundamental symmetries,
* exotic systems in QCD,
* novel approaches in theory and experiment.

The intention is to provide an overview of the present status in these fields,
as well as of new developments, and a preview of the forthcoming investigations.
