  FIRST CIRCULAR
  --------------
  IX International Conference on Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (NN2006)
  August 28 - September 1, 2006, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil


  We are happy to announce that the next International Conference on
  Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (NN2006) will be held in Brazil, August
  28-September 1, 2006. As a member of the Nuclear Physics community you
  are cordially invited to attend the NN2006.

  The site of the meeting will be the city of Rio de Janeiro. The
  conference will be held at the Rio Othon Palace Hotel, situated at the
  sea front of the world famous Copacabana Beach.

  The Nucleus-Nucleus meetings have been held regularly, under the
  auspices and support of IUPAP. The NN2000 was held in
  Strasbourg-France, and the last one, NN2003, was held in
  Moscow-Russia. The average attendance of these meetings is slightly
  over 400, and we are hoping to surpass this number. The C12 (Nuclear
  Physics) Committee of IUPAP has recommended the IUPAP sponsorship of
  our meeting.

  Some topical miniworkshops are being planned during the two days
  preceding NN2006. They will be announced in the webpage within the
  next months.

  The host institutions are the Brazilian Physical Society (SBF),
  Universidade de Sao Paulo (USP) and  the Universidade Federal
  Fluminense (UFF).

  The conference is supported by the Brazilian Federal agencies CNPq,
  CAPES and FINEP, the research  councils of the Sao Paulo and Rio de
  Janeiro states (FAPESP and FAPERJ), the Centro Latino Americano  de
  Fisica (CLAF), the International Center of Theoretical Physics (ICTP)
  and the Brazilian Nuclear  Energy Commission (CNEN).

  The official language of the conference is English.

  The website of the conference is www.nn2006.com.br
  New information concerning the conference will be  updated
  continuously in this site.

  There will be a special reduced fee for students. Furthermore, the
  organizing committee encourages the  participation of students and
  young scientists by making available some limited financial support
  to cover part of the local expenses.


  VENUE AND ACCOMMODATIONS
  ------------------------

  Copacabana district is the main tourist district in Rio de Janeiro,
  with several hotels of different  prices and categories, within a
  walking distance from the site of the conference (Rio Othon Palace
  Hotel). We encourage the participants to make their reservations
  through our website, since the  organizers were able to obtain
  discount prices for the participants in the hotels of the Othon chain.

  Rio Othon Palace Hotel is a first class hotel situated at the Avenida
  Atlantica, at the sea front. The  room rate per night, including
  breakfast, is US$ 120 per single or double occupancy. Apartments with
  front sea view cost US$ 135. Taxes of 15% will be added.

  Less expensive but very comfortable hotels, within a walking distance
  from the Rio Othon Palace, are  also available: California Othon and
  Savoy Othon ? price: US$ 70 for single or double occupancy, with
  breakfast. Taxes  of 15% will be added. Information about these hotels
  can be found in the webpage.


  TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
  -------------------

  Rio de Janeiro is a very busy tourist and business city served by
  several airlines linking this city  with all parts of the world. In
  addition there are many flights to Sao Paulo and a very efficient air
  shuttle service between Sao Paulo and Rio.

  The international airport in Rio (Antonio Carlos Jobim airport ?
  Galeao airport) is situated around 30  minutes from Copacabana district.
  Special transportation will be available for the participants of the
  NN2006 from the airport to the conference site during the day of August
  27. A meeting place will be  arranged at the main Hall. Look for the
  sign ?NN2006?.  The cost of the transportation will be about  US$ 10 per
  person. Upon request, this kind of transportation can be arranged before
  August 27.

  For those coming from the shuttle flight from Sao Paulo, the flights
  are between the central airports  Congonhas (Sao Paulo) and Santos
  Dumont (Rio). Santos Dumont airport is located at Rio?s city center,
  10 minutes from Copacabana. A taxi from the airport to the hotel costs
  about US$ 15 (Note: in Brazil,  tips of about 10% are usual for
  restaurants and taxis).


  VISAS
  -----

  Citizens of some nationalities are required a visa to enter Brazil.
  Please, check if you need a visa  before you come.


  WEATHER
  -------

  Although August is winter time in Rio de Janeiro, this means that the
  temperature ranges between 20  and 30 degrees Celsius. The weather is
  usually very pleasant and sunny. You should bring light clothes  and
  swim clothes. Eventually there might come a cold front which brings
  rain during two or three days  and the temperature may drop to 17
  degrees, not less than that.


  SOCIAL EVENTS, ACCOMPANYING PERSON?S PROGRAMME, PRE AND POST TOURS
  ------------------------------------------------------------------

  On August 27, Sunday evening, there will be a Welcome reception at the
  Conference site. On August 30, Wednesday afternoon, we will organize a
  tour to famous tourist sites in Rio de Janeiro,  including the world
  famous Sugar Loaf. Please find more information about this and other
  tours at: www.nn2006.com.br/tour.php
  On August 31, Thursday evening, there will be the conference banquet at
  one of the famous barbeque  restaurants in Rio, the ?Porcao?. The
  banquet will consist of a ?Rodizio?, which means that you will  be
  continuously served with different kinds of meat, with as much variety
  as you would like. There  will also be a large variety of sea food and
  salads. After dinner there will be a show with one of the  main
  Brazilian dancers, Carlinhos de Jesus and his group, when several
  Brazilian rhythms will be shown  (participants will be allowed to sing
  and dance with the band).

  We are aware that it will be very difficult for the participants of
  the NN2006 to resist crossing the  street and go for a swim or just
  get some sun in Copacabana beach. So, in order to allow the
  participants to do so without missing the talks, we are programming a
  long lunch break.

  For the accompanying persons we have arranged several possibilities of
  day tours in Rio and in  neighbouring towns and islands. You can find
  these options on the webpage.

  Brazil is a very large country with different places to visit. This
  may be a good opportunity to the  participants and their families to
  visit Brazil. Among the sites to be visited there is the Amazon
  region and its rain forests, the Pantanal region, plenty of wild life,
  the majestic Iguassu Falls, the  North East region with its
  crystalline warm water beaches (the incredible Fernando de Noronha
  beach,  Maceio etc) and historical cities of Salvador (Bahia) and
  Recife, plenty of folklore and typical  music. The cheapest way to see
  some of those places is to buy the Brazilian air pass, which can be
  bought only outside Brazil. We will also organize some pre or
  post-conference tours, to either tropical islands and beach resorts or
  historic towns. Please, for information about tours, contact  Natalie
  Graue from Matriz de Eventos, our official representative by the
  e-mail: 
natalie AT matrizdeeventos.com.br.
