Dear Colleague,

                        FINAL CIRCULAR
                       

On behalf of the LOWq-03 Workshop Organizing Committee, we would like to invite
you to attend and participate in:

     **********************************************************************
            LOWq-03: 2nd Workshop on Electromagnetic Nuclear Reactions at
                       Low Momentum Transfer

         WEDNESDAY, July 16 - FRIDAY July 18, 2003
         Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia
                           Canada
                          
     Jointly sponsored by Saint Mary's University
                    Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory
                          MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center

     **********************************************************************

        Information on the workshop can be found at the website

                     http://www.ap.smu.ca/LOWq03/

        Registration and accommodation information can be found there,
      along with information on Halifax and tourism opportunities in the area.

     **********************************************************************

Please note the following important dates:

      June 02,  2003   : IMMINENT! - Last date for hotel reservations at
                     workshop rate.
      July 2nd, 2003   : Registration deadline.

     **********************************************************************

Scientific Program:

        There will be a mix of theoretical and experimental talks in each of
      6 sessions, with the emphasis on existing and foreseeable opportunities
      for doing high-precision physics at low momentum transfer.  An updated
      list of confirmed speakers can be found on the website.

      Even though May 30 is/was the deadline for contributions (and
      sufficient contributions have been received to fill the Talk slots),
      contributions for POSTER presentations will be accepted up until
      the Registration Deadline.  If you would like to Present a Contributed
      Poster, please send a title and brief abstract by email to
      lowq03@ap.smu.ca .

 
     **********************************************************************

Additional Information:

Talks will be scanned and put on the web for easy access and reference, and a
CD-ROM with all talks can be requested at minimal cost.  (Scanned talks from
the first LOWq Workshop in 2001 can be viewed at www.ap.smu.ca/LOWq/ )

Nova Scotia is a lovely place to visit in the summer, and there is a link to
tourism information on our website should you be interested in spending more
time here.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please send email to the workshop
at lowq03@ap.smu.ca .

Please distribute this registration information to your students, colleagues,
and any other people who might have an interest in precision low-momentum
electromagnetic physics.

We hope to see you in Halifax this summer!
