                         Second Bulletin
   
   This  is  the second and last communication before the  "XVIII
Nuclear  Physics  Symposium" at Oaxtepec, the eighteenth  in  the
series  of  annual  meetings devoted to recent  experimental  and
theoretical  developments in Nuclear Physics. The Symposium  will
be  held  at  the  Oaxtepec  Conference  Center  in  the  "Centro
Vacacional  de  Oaxtepec"  (Oaxtepec  Holiday  Resort),  Morelos,
Mexico.  The Symposium will start on Wednesday the 4th of January
at 16:20 and will end on Saturday the 7th at 13:20.
   
   In  case  you  have  to  contact us, the  most  efficient  way
(before  the  start  of Christmas holidays,  15  Dec.)  would  be
through e-mail to one of the chairmen of the symposium;
   
                   karo@ifunam.ifisicacu.unam.mx
                   juan@ifunam.ifisicacu.unam.mx
                   belmont@redvax1.dgsca.unam.mx
   
   During the holidays' period we may be at home or at our
offices, the phone numbers where you may reach us appear below;
                   K. Michaelian  (525)663-3665 or 622-5069
                   J. Suro        (525)590-5240 or 622-5069
                   E. Belmont     (525)669-3354 or 622-5056
   
   And, once the symposium starts,
   
            Hotel Tepozteco (IMSS) at Oaxtepec  (735)2-1086.
   
                        Arrival in Mexico
   
   At  your  arrival,  locate one of the  official  airport  taxi
booths and buy the ticket that corresponds to your destination in
the  city  (rates  vary  according  to  distance).  Identify  the
official  taxis by an black airplane logo on the yellow doors  of
the  taxis  located outside the airport doors. Do not accept  any
other offer for a taxi ride.
   You  may  change your money at one of the banks or  "casas  de
cambio"  inside  the airport. The approximate  exchange  rate  is
about N$3.30 new pesos per $1 US dollar. Changing money at hotels
normally leaves you with less.
   
                          Accommodation
   
   During  the  Symposium, accommodation will  be  in  the  Hotel
Tepozteco  within the "Centro Vacacional de Oaxtepec",  about  60
miles  south  from Mexico City. In Mexico City we  have  arranged
with  the  Hotel  Ambassador,  Humboldt  38,  Mexico  City  (Tel.
(525)518-0110), special rates for the days before and  after  the
Symposium.  This  rather non-presumptuous hotel  is  conveniently
located near the Palace of Fine Arts (a theater/concert hall) and
the "Alameda" (a park) in the downtown area. It is also located a
few  blocks  from two Metro stations (subway). The rate  of  this
Hotel  is  approximately N$174.00 (new pesos, tax  included)  per
night  for  either  a  single  or  double  room.  If  we  do  the
reservations for you they will apply a 30% discount at the moment
of  paying. Please let us know if you would like us to reserve  a
room for your stay in the city; use the enclosed form.
   
      Travel to and from the Centro Vacacional de Oaxtepec
   
   The  symposium starts on Wednesday, January the 4th at  16:20.
A  bus will leave the Ambassador Hotel at 12:00 and will stop  at
the  Insurgentes  Sur  entrance of the well known  Sanborn's  San
Angel  restaurant in the southern part of the city (at the corner
of  Av. Insurgentes and Av. de la Paz). It will leave from  there
at  13:00 and shortly after that it will stop at the parking  lot
of the Instituto de Fisica UNAM (in "Ciudad Universitaria"). From
there  the bus will go directly to Oaxtepec. Lunch has  not  been
arranged in Oaxtepec for this day, so eat before taking the  bus.
Please be aware that lunch service in Sanborn's is very slow.
   If  you  miss the bus you can get to Oaxtepec by cab. In  this
case  you  have to arrange the price first, e.g. with an official
cab  from  the airport it will cost about N$320.00 new pesos.  We
suggest  that  you  make  arrangements  with  someone  fluent  in
Spanish.  The  symposium  will end on Saturday  at  13:20.  After
having  lunch  at Oaxtepec, at 16:00 hours a bus  will  take  the
participants back to downtown Mexico City (Ambassador Hotel).
   Those  participants arriving from another country are reminded
to  book  their flight early to avoid problems due to  the  large
volume  of  visitors that fly into and out of Mexico  during  the
Christmas season.
   
                          Registration
   
   The  registration  fee for the Symposium is US$400.00  or  the
equivalent   in   Mexican  new  pesos.  This   fee   covers   the
transportation  to  and  from the conference  site  (from  Mexico
City), the cost of 3 nights hotel room (double occupancy) and all
meals  at  Oaxtepec  for  the duration  of  the  Symposium.  Each
Symposium  registrant will receive one copy of  the  Proceedings.
Payment  must  be  in  cash or travelers  checks  and  should  be
delivered  upon  arrival  at  the  conference  site.  As  it  was
indicated  before,  there  are some rooms  available  for  single
occupancy  or  accommodation of companion in  the  same  room  as
attendee;  use  the  enclosed form  for  telling  us  about  your
preferences.
   
   
                              Scope
   
   The  general themes of this year's Symposium will  be  Nuclear
and  Subnuclear  Structure, Heavy Ions  and  aspects  of  Nuclear
Astrophysics. We expect an attendance of about 50 scientists.
   
   
                             Format
   
   The  format of this four day symposium will consist of morning
and  afternoon 40 minute-talk sessions and a poster session.  The
conference language will be English. Sessions will be  held  each
morning from 9:00 to 12:40 and each afternoon from 16:00 to 19:40
with  four invited speakers per session. The poster session  will
be on Thursday morning from 12:45 to 14:00. A preliminary program
is included with this bulletin.
   
   
                         Poster Session
   
   Posters  should  be set up on Wednesday for informal  viewing.
The  poster  session will be on Thursday morning  from  12:45  to
14:00. Authors are requested to be available for discussion  with
viewers that morning.
   The  posters must fit within an area of 120 cm high by 100  cm
wide. Posters can be attached to the display board with push pins
or  scotch  tape  which  will  be supplied  at  Oaxtepec.  Poster
material is expected to be readable from a distance of 1-2 m.  It
would  be  useful  to bring extra copies of an extended  summary,
preprints, or reprints for distribution at the poster session.
                                
                                
                           Proceedings
   
   The  Proceedings  will be published as  a  Supplement  of  the
Revista Mexicana de Fisica. All contributions presented orally or
in  the poster session will be considered for publication in  the
Proceedings  after  going through the normal refereeing  process.
Papers  presented orally or at the poster session will be allowed
a maximum of 7 pages including title, tables and figures (count 3
per  page). This corresponds to roughly 14 pages of doubly spaced
10 pt print. THE FINAL TEXT OF ALL PAPERS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE
CHAIRMEN  OF THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE NO LATER THAN THE BEGINNING
OF THE SYMPOSIUM (see detailed instructions below).
    
                    Instructions for Authors
   
   Articles  must include the title and abstract in  English  and
Spanish  (the local organizing committee could help you with  the
translation).  Manuscripts must be typed or printed  with  double
spacing, wide margins, on one side only of letter size paper. The
format  should  be the following: Title of the article,  authors'
name,  place  of  work and address of each one  of  the  authors,
abstract,  from  one to three PACS numbers, the  text  should  be
organized in numbered sections with subtitles and references. For
the  latter, the following order is suggested: complete  name  of
the  authors,  name  of  the  journal (abbreviated  according  to
international  conventions) or title of the  publication,  volume
number  (underlined),  year (enclosed in parentheses),  and  page
number.  For  books  include edition and  place  of  publication.
References and notes in the text should be numbered serially.
   Originals  of  illustrations should be brought, preferably  of
1/2  letter  page size, numbered in pencil at the margin.  Graphs
and  drawings must be either in black Indian ink, or produced  by
plotters  or laser printers, with tracing lines with at most  0.7
mm thick, on high quality paper. Photographs must be in black and
white,  printed  on paper with high resolution.  Figure  captions
should  be  listed  serially on a separate sheet.  Tables  go  on
separate  sheets with their captions. The title of the paper  and
the  corresponding  page  number are  required  on  each  of  the
additional  sheets. The authors' name should only appear  on  the
title page.
   Three  copies  of the complete manuscript, including  figures,
should   be  brought.  Please  also  bring  a  version  of   your
contribution  on  formatted MS-DOS diskette  (written  in  LATEX,
PLAIN   TEX  or  ASCII).  For  the  case  of  computer  generated
illustrations  in  common format (PCX, TIF)  please  include  the
respective files.

                  Centro Vacacional de Oaxtepec

   The  Oaxtepec  Holiday Resort is noted for the beauty  of  its
natural  setting  in  a semitropical valley  (1600  m  above  sea
level). It offers the opportunity for a very relaxed and informal
living  during the Symposium. In January, the weather is dry  and
mild with temperatures ranging from 12 C in the morning to 22 C
in  the  afternoon. A little more informal clothing  than  normal
will  be  an advantage. Sports clothing and a swimming suit  will
also  be  very useful. We are planning an excursion  involving  a
roughly two hour climb up a neighboring cliff to reach an ancient
pyramid. Thus, a good pair of walking shoes will be required  for
those  brave enough (no other special equipment needed).  Do  not
forget  a  sweater for the usually cool January mornings  in  the
city.
   We look forward to seeing you at Oaxtepec and wish you a
happy and safe trip.
