The RIKEN BNL Research Center (RBRC) was established in April 1997 at Brookhaven National Laboratory. It is funded by the ``Rikagaku Kenkysho'' (RIKEN, The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research) of Japan. The Center is dedicated to the study of strong interactions, including spin physics, lattice QCD and RHIC physics through the nurturing of a new generation of young physicists.
During the first year, the Center had only a Theory Group. In the second year, an Experimental Group was also established at the Center. At present, there are seven Fellows and nine post docs in these two groups. During the third year, we started a new Tenure Track Strong Interaction Theory RHIC Physics Fellow Program, with six positions in the academic year 1999-2000; this program will increase to include eleven theorists in the next academic year, and, in the year after, also be extended to experimental physics. In addition, the Center has an active workshop program on strong interaction physics, about ten workshops a year, with each workshop focused on a specific physics problem. Each workshop speaker is encouraged to select five of the most important transparencies from his or her presentation, accompanied by a page of explanation. This material is collected at the end of the workshop by the organizer to form proceedings, which can therefore be available within a short time.
The construction of a 0.6 teraflop parallel processor, which was begun at the Center on February 19, 1998, was completed on August 28, 1998.
In order to produce Proceedings for each Workshop, speakers must select five significant transparencies and prepare a one-page summary of the principal points of their presentation. This material, collected at the workshop, allows the Proceedings to be prepared promptly.
There are several types of housing available on site at BNL. If you plan to stay on site, please complete the housing portion of the registration form and return it before the specified deadline. After this deadline, we cannot guarantee that on-site housing will be available.
When you arrive at BNL you may pick up your key directly at the Housing Office, Building 179 (on the corner of Brookhaven Avenue and Center Street). Their phone number is 516-344-2541 (please note that if you are calling from within BNL, you need only dial the four-digit extension 2551). The Housing Office is open during the following hours:
M-F .............. 8:00 am - midnight Sat .............. closed Sun .............. 4:00 pm - midnightIf you are arriving during the hours that the Housing Office is closed, you may pick up your key at Police Headquarters, Building 50, on Upton Road.
Check in time for all accommodations is 4:00pm; check out time is 3:00pm.
If you are arriving by limousine, have the driver take you directly to the Housing Office (or Police Headquarters depending on the time of arrival), and wait for you while you run in and get your housing key, and then have the driver take you to your accommodations. This will save you some walking.
The Guest House and Dorm Residences are approximately a 5-10 minute walk to both Berkner Hall (cafeteria) and the Brookhaven Center and about a 15-minute walk to the Physics Department. If you are staying in the Apartment area, it will take approximately 20-30 minutes to walk to either Berkner Hall or the Brookhaven Center. To get to the Physics Department building it will take about 35-40 minutes.
If you make phone calls from either the Guest House or from an Apartment, you must go to the Housing Office (Building 179 on the corner of Center Street and Brookhaven Avenue) and pay your phone bill before leaving.

DRIVING - Various Directions (Airports, BNL, Berkner Hall/Cafeteria, Physics Department)
To BNL from JFK Airport:
Leaving JFK, take the Southern Belt Parkway east. After a few miles
this becomes the Laurelton, and then the Southern State Parkway. Stay on
the Southern State Parkway to Exit 41A and take the Sagtikos Parkway north
for about five miles to Exit S1, which is I-495 east (the Long Island Expressway).
Continue on this to Exit 68 (William Floyd Parkway, County Road 46). Go
north on William Floyd Parkway and just before the second light is a turn
off on your right to BNL. At the gate indicate that you are attending the
RIKEN BNL Workshop.
To BNL from LaGuardia Airport:
Leaving LaGuardia, get on the Grand Central Parkway going east. Stay
on the Grand Central Parkway for about 30-45 minutes (typically). Note
that you stay on the Grand Central Parkway all the way through Queens.
About 5 miles from the LaGuardia Airport, you pass I-495, but do NOT get
on I-495 there. Stay on the Grand Central Parkway until it turns into the
Northern State Parkway and take this to Exit 37A, which is I-495 east (the
Long Island Expressway). Continue on 495 east to Exit 68 (William Floyd
Parkway, County Road 46), Go north on William Floyd Parkway and just before
the second light is a turn off on your right to BNL. At the gate indicate
that you are attending the RIKEN BNL Workshop.
To BNL from Newark Airport:
The traffic is insane except late at night. But, if your flight gets
bumped, you may end up here. The easiest way from Newark airport is to
take I-95 north to I-495 east:
You enter Manhattan on 39th Street and go east to 3rd or 2nd Avenues by 36th Street, and look for the signs to the Queens Midtown Tunnel. The Midtown Tunnel lets you out on I-495 which you take east to Exit 68 (William Floyd Parkway, County Road 46). Go north on William Floyd Parkway and just before the second light is a turn off on your right to BNL. At the gate indicate that you are attending the RIKEN BNL Workshop.
To JFK Airport from BNL:
From Exit 68 on I-495, go west to Exit 53, the Sagtikos and Sunken
Meadow Parkways. Take the Sagtikos Parkway south about five miles to Exit
S4, to the Southern State Parkway heading west. It is typically about 40
minutes on the Southern State Parkway to JFK. You stay on the Southern
State Parkway until it becomes the Laurelton Parkway, and then the Southern
Belt Parkway. The exit for JFK on the Southern Belt Parkway is Exit 19.
Note that there is an Exit 19 on the Southern State Parkway, about 10 minutes
before you hit JFK. Don't get off there, wait for the signs to JFK.
To LaGuardia Airport from BNL:
From Exit 68 at I-495 (the Long Island Expressway), go west to Exit
53, the Sunken Meadow and Sagtikos Parkways. Go north on the Sunken Meadow
Parkway for about 2 miles to exit SM1, the Northern State Parkway. Take
the Northern State Parkway west to LaGuardia Airport.
To Berkner Hall at BNL:
Bernker Hall is within the BNL Cafeteria building, located off of Brookhaven
Avenue. Go through the entrance gate to BNL, turn left at the light onto
Upton Road. Make your second right onto Brookhaven Avenue (firehouse on
your left). Make your first left to the Cafeteria/Berkner Hall.
To the Physics Department (Building 510):
Go through the entrance gate to BNL, turn left at the light onto Upton
Road. Make your second right onto Brookhaven Avenue (firehouse on your
left). Make your forth left onto Pennsylvania Street. The Physics Department
is the large brick building on your right.
Limousine services available from JFK and LaGuardia airports to Brookhaven
National Laboratory or local hotels are listed below. Prices will range
from $50.00 - $100.00, depending on whether you have a private car or share
a ride. Reservations, at least 48 hours in advance, are suggested.
| NOTE: | NEWARK AIRPORT is in New Jersey and it is very inconvenient to get here from there! And, extremely costly! If you do wind up at Newark, take the Olympia Bus to Penn Station, then the LIRR to Ronkonkoma (hourly trains), and then a cab. About three hours total time. |
