Final announcement
Dear Colleagues
This is the final announcement of the 2nd Asian Triangle Heavy-Ion Conference(ATHIC), to be held in October 13-15, 2008, at the Center for Computational Sciences,
University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan.
The 2nd conference of ATHIC (ATHIC 2008) continues the tradition of the previous
conference held in Seoul, namely, bringing together the heavy-ion physicists mainly
from China, Korea and Japan, and to discuss the various interesting aspects ofheavy-ion collisions. As many physicists from Asian countries are actively working on
both experimental and theoretical sides in this field, we hope to have fruitful discussions
among the participants, and develop new ideas towards the further understanding of hot
and dense QCD matter. The ATHIC 2008 conference will also provide a good
opportunity to summarize what we have learned at RHIC so far, and what we expect tosee at LHC, which is just about to accelerate the first proton beams at CERN. ATHIC
2008 will focus the following topics ;･ Jet propagation and medium response in QGP,
･ Properties of strongly coupled QGP,･ Exploring QCD phase diagram,･ Nuclear astrophysics (compact stars, black holes),･ Future projects (RHIC-II, LHC, J-PARC, etc.).

The conference consists of mostly invited talks and a few selected contributed papers.
The tentative scientific programs as well as the other useful conference informationsuch as registrations, accommodations, transportations, and Japanese VISA are alsoavailable at the web site. http://utkhii.px.tsukuba.ac.jp/ATHIC2008/ The scientificprogram is now available at http://utkhii.px.tsukuba.ac.jp/ATHIC2008/Program.html

When you get in the bus, you need to use the middle door and take a ticket, whichindicates an area zone number where you get in to the bus. In order to get off the bus,
you need to press any of many stop-request buttons inside the bus before reaching thebus stop you like to get off, but after passing through the previous bus stop. You need tolisten the announcement (mostly in Japanese though) that tells you the name of the next
bus stop. Please be aware that the bus would not stop if nobody press the button or if
nobody is waiting at the bus stop. (But if you tell your destination bus stop to your bus
driver, I would hope that he/she remembers to let you get off at the right place.) Before
you get off the bus, you can check the price for your area zone number shown in adisplay inside the bus. Please pay the price with the ticket into the pay box next to thebus driver just before you step out from the bus. You are asked to pay the exact price,
therefore it’s better to have enough coins before you get into the bus, or you can also
use the exchange machine (<=1000yen) to get smaller coins inside the bus.
