Second Bulletin

There will be a third bulletin 2 to 3 weeks before the workshop.

Scientific Program:

By heavy quarks we mean the strange, charm, and bottom quarks. The emphasis of the Workshop is on the areas of heavy quark physics where Fixed Target experiments have made major contributions. However, for those areas, we hope to have rather comprehensive discussions which include the contributions of collider experiments as well. We will be emphasizing recent results and future experimental programs. We also plan to have theoretical and experimental overviews of each area.

The Workshop will be arranged by topics:

• CP violation
• Rare Decays and Mixing
• Production dynamics
• Structure Functions of Heavy Quarks
• Heavy Ions
• Semileptonic Decays
• Hadronic Decays and Lifetimes
• Spectroscopy
