MESON is a conference series with over 25 years of history. The Institute of Physics of Jagiellonian University, Forschungszentrum Jülich, INFN-LNF Frascati and Institute of Nuclear Physics PAS Cracow are organizing 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.
Topics: 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
