Workshop on Low x Physics2001 
June 27 - 30, 2001, Krakow, POLAND
Purpose
The aim of the workshop is to encourage informal and fruitful discussions between experimentalists and theorists
on new results, hot topics and open problems in low x physics and diffraction at HERA, the Tevatron and beyond.
It will also provide a forum for discussion of the opportunities for low x physics at RHIC.

History
The Low x Workshop grew out of the working group in the subject for the 91/92 HERA study at DESY and has
met almost every year since then: Saclay (1994), Cambridge (1995), Durham (1996), Madrid (1997), Berlin (1998),
Tel Aviv (1999), Oxford (2000).

Topics
    - DIS at small x and structure functions of the proton, photon and Pomeron;
    - diffractive events and the problem of the Pomeron;
    - investigation of hadronic final states;
    - photoproduction and DIS at low Q**2;
    - vector meson production;
    - prospects in hard photon-photon physics;
    - other hot topics (open to suggestions).

Place
The Workshop will be held in the Collegium Maius, of the Jagellonian University of Krakow in the Michal
Bobrzynski Lecture Hall on the second floor. This is the oldest University building which is also the University
Museum. Collegium Maius is located in the old city center of Krakow within a few minute walk from
the University Guesthouses where most of the participants will be lodged (see map).

Accommodation
It is very difficult to find economic good standard accommodation in Krakow during high season period.
We offer accommodation in various academic Guesthouses of high and reasonable standard at acceptable
prices. Since the number of places is limited, we kindly ask you to book - if possible - accommodation
in double rooms together with another participant.

Prices: vary depending on the room standard PLN 130 - 170 / night (paid directly at the hotel)

Student Hostel Bydgoska 19 offers single rooms with separate bathroom. No breakfast included,

the city center it is recommended for Polish participants from outside of Krakow.
Prices: PLN 90 / night in single room (paid at the hotel upon arrival)

Limited accommodation in single and double rooms at the Institute of Nuclear Physics (no breakfast included)
within ½ hour bus/tram drive from the city center will be available for the participants requiring financial support.

If you do not wish to stay at the University Guesthouses described above you should make your own
accommodation arrangements in one of the city hotels.
