  Univ. Bern\,  P. Seyboth for NA49 / MPI Munich\, S. Esumi for NA45 / Univ
 . Heidelberg\, N. Carrer for WA97 / INFN\, Univ. Padua.\n\nThe CERN SPS He
 avy Ion experiments have reported on the centrality dependence of a large 
 number of observables for p+A and Pb+Pb collisions.  Different methods hav
 e been employed to derive the centrality of the collision\, dictated by th
 e setup of each experiment. In order to conclude on the behaviour of those
  observables as a function of centrality it is necessary to scrutinise the
  procedures used in deriving the number of participants or impact paramete
 r of the collision.\nContinuing the series of Heavy Ion Forum dedicated to
  this issues experiments NA45\, NA49\, NA50\, NA52\, WA97\, WA98 will repo
 rt on the details of the methods employed for the analysis as well as on t
 he results of the centrality dependence of particle production. Organiser(

DESCRIPTION:The most recent issue of NA50 J/Psi production data (at the QM
  Torino) exhibit an almost complete disappearance at the most central Pb+P
 b collision samples. Taking (tentatively) this for final evidence of a QCD
  partonic suppression mechanism in the high-density phase we conclude that
  the system has to rehadronize upon expansion. In fact the comprehensive s
 et of 4pi bulk hadron production rates and ratios that is becoming availab
 le offers a clear-cut fingerprint of the hadronization transition. A parti
 cularly important detail of this picture is seen in the question of whethe
 r totals strangeness production relative to non-strange holds a key to fur
 ther elucidate the flavour composition of the partonic phase. Also the mec
 hanisms by which the 'limiting hadronic temperature' is reached at the SPS
  but not reached at the AGS deserves attention\, in order to arrive at a c
 omprehensive and exhaustive analysis of the data.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch

DESCRIPTION:This talk focuses on two aspects of chiral symmetry\, taken fr
 om both cold and hot chiral symmetry breaking. \n\n(a) At zero temperature
 \, we focus on the charged pion polarizability\, ap\, for which there is a
  large spread in both the theoretical and experimental values. We are able
  to give a unified and comparative approach for the various theoretical mo
 dels via the Das-Mathur-Okubo sum rule. From the experimental point of vie
 w\, more experiments are required for clarification.\n\n(b) For hot system
 s\, we present a non-equilibrium evolution equation for quarks and mesons 
 based on a chirally invariant LaGrange density. Several general features o
 f phase transitions\, such as critical scattering at the phase transition\
 , can be observed in quark-anti-quark cross sections. First toy simulation
 s of collisions are shown.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?c

DESCRIPTION:The talk is divided in two parts. The first part discusses the
  phenomenon of chiral symmetry and its breaking at zero temperature.\n\n1.
  Different definitions of quark masses will be compared and their extracti

 rder parameter for chiral symmetry breaking\, is \ndiscussed. Special emph
 asis will be put on the strange quark mass and condensate. In the second p
 art the temperature dependence of the various quantities introduced in the
  first part will be described.\n\nWe shall briefly comment on modification
 s at finite density as well.\n\n2. The possible broadening of omega-and ph
 i-mesons produced by heavy-ion collisions is discussed. The predictions fo
 r widths of these mesons as the function of the vector meson momentum at d
 ifferent nuclear densities and initial energies are presented.\n\nAddition
 ally the D-meson production by hadron-hadron and ion-ion interactions is a
 nalyzed. The problem related to the possible hidden charm in the hadron an
 d nucleus is discussed. The predictions for the asymmetry of the produced 
 D-mesons as the function of the Feynman variable x and the transverse mome
 ntum pt are presented.\n\nThe possible consequences of the obtained result
 s for heavy-ion collisons at high energies are discussed. Organiser(s): Yi

DESCRIPTION:Experiment 910 at the Brookhaven National Laboratory AGS accel
 erator has studied proton-Be\, Cu\, and Au collisions at beam energies of 
 12 and 18 GeV/c. The experiment has focussed on the study of the change in
  the dynamics of p-A collisions with centrality using the multiplicity of 
 'grey' tracks and the estimated number of collisions suffered by the proje
 ctile proton as a measure of centrality. We observe rapid 'stopping'\, wit
 h the projectile proton losing two units of rapidity in central p-Be colli
 sions\, but observe none of the \nexpected effects of this stopping in the
  production of secondary particles. We observe scaling between AGS and hig
 her energies in the production of energetic pions in peripheral collisions
  and show that the spectra of these pions are consistent with the momentum
  \ndistribution of valence quarks within the proton. In central p-Au colli
 sions we observe a much softened pion spectrum consistent with the fragmen
 tation of all valence quarks in the proton. These data\, together with mea
 surements of the centrality dependence of pion and \nstrange particle mult
 iplicities give strong evidence for 'additive quark' behaviour in p-A coll
 isions at the AGS. We investigate the implications of these results for in
 terpreting data from heavy ion collisions\, particularly focussing on the 
 physics of strangeness \nenhancement.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka and Ulrich H

DESCRIPTION:1. Photons and Dileptons from the Quark-Gluon Plasma\nby Marku
 s Thoma/CERN\n\nPhotons and dileptons produced in relativistic heavy ion c
 ollisions provide a promising signature for the quark-gluon plasma formati
 on.\nA review will be given on the latest perturbative and non-perturbativ
 e results for the production rates of photons and dileptons emitted from a
  quark-gluon plasma. Using hydrodynamical calculations the photon and dile
 pton spectra\, containing the most recent production rates\, will be discu
 ssed in the case of an equilibrated as well as non-equilibrated quark-gluo
 n plasma. In particular\, a unique signal in the dilepton spectrum for the
  existence of deconfined quarks will be proposed.\n\n2. Implication of per
 colation of colour strings on multiplicity\, correlations and the transver
 se momentum\nby M. Braun/St. Petersburg State University\n\nIn the colour 
 string model the impact of string percolation on multiplicity\, average tr
 ansverse momentum and their long-range (forward-backward) correlation is s
 tudied. It is assumed that different string overlaps produce observed hadr
 ons independently.\nThe multiplicity is shown to be moderately damped by a
  simple factor\, which follows from the percolation theory. The average tr
 ansverse momenta rise at the same rate as multiplicity fall.\nA clear sign
 ature of the percolation phase transition is found to be the behaviour of 
 the forward-backward correlations for intensive quantities\, such as the t
 ransverse momentum or its inverse\, which can be detected in the high-ener
 gy heavy ion collisions. Studies of the forward-backward correlations in A
 LICE are discussed.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a

DESCRIPTION:Event-by-event fluctuations can be used as a source of informa
 tion on the dynamics of heavy-ion collisions. However\, there is a problem
  how to disentangle the 'dynamical' fluctuations of interest from the 'tri
 vial' geometrical ones due to the impact parameter variation. The problem 
 is solved in a specific way by using the measure of fluctuations or correl
 ation's which is called Phi. It equals zero when the correlations are enti
 rely absent. On the other hand\, Phi is constructed in such a way that it 
 is exactly the same for nucleon-nucleon and nucelus-nucelus collisions if 
 the latter one is a simple superposition of the former. Phi-measure has be
 en successfully applied to the NA49 experimental data and the fluctuations
  of transverse momentum\, which are observed in nucleon-nucleon collisions
 \, have been \nfound to be significantly reduced in the central Pb-Pb coll
 isions at 158 GeV per nucleon. The Phi-measure is applicable not only to t
 he fluctuations of kinematical quantities such as pT but to the azimuthal 
 and chemical fluctuations as well. We discuss in detail how the quantum st
 atistics\, secondary interactions\, and collective \nflow influence Phi.Or

DESCRIPTION:Intensity interferometry in noncentral heavy ion collisions pr
 ovides access to novel and unexplored information on the geometry of the e
 ffective pion-emitting source. My discussion focuses mainly on the new dis
 covery that even for vanishing pair momentum\, the cross terms \nRRSUB>ol2
  and Rsl2 of the HBT correlation function in general show a strong first h
 armonic in their azimuthal dependence. \n\nThe strength of this oscillatio
 n characterises the tilt of the major axis of the emission ellipsoid withi
 n the reaction plane away from the direction of the beam. Event generator 
 studies indicate that this tilt can be large (>20 degrees) at AGS energies
  which makes it by far the most significant azimuthally sensitive HBT sign
 al at these energies. Moreover\, transport models suggest that for pions t
 his spatial tilt is directed opposite to the tilt of the directed flow ell
 ipsoid in momentum space. A measurement of the azimuthal dependence of the
  HBT cross terms Rol2 and Rsl2 thus probes directly the physical origin of
  pion directed flow.\n\nOrganiser(s): Yiota Foka and Ulrich Heinz\n\nhttp:

DESCRIPTION:Critical behaviours of quark-hadron phase transition in high-e
 nergy \nheavy-ion collisions are investigated with the aim of identifying 
 hadronic observable. The surface of the plasma cylinder is mapped onto a 2
 D lattice. The Ising model is used to simulate configurations correspondin
 g to crossover transitions in accordance to the findings of QCD lattice ga
 uge theory. Hadrons are formed in clusters of all sizes. Various measures 
 are examined to quantify the fluctuations of the cluster sizes and of the 
 voids among the clusters. The canonical power-law behaviours near the crit
 ical temperature are found for appropriately chosen measures. Since the te
 mperature is not directly observable\, attention is given to the problem o
 f finding observable measures. It is demonstrated that for the measures co
 nsidered the dependence on the final-state randomisation and configuration
  mixing are weak. Thus the critical behaviour of the measures proposed is 
 likely to survive the scattering effect of the hadron gas in the final sta

DESCRIPTION:1. 'The Microscopic Origin of the Strangeness Enhancement at t
 he \nSPS'The microscopic origin of the strangeness enhancement observed in
  \nPb+Pb collisions at the SPS is studied using models with different init
 ial conditions combined with final state hadronic interactions. \nUsing an
  initial condition similar to scaled p+p interactions as generated by the 
 HIJING event generator\, the inclusion of final state \nchemical changing 
 processes (e.g. Lambda + K  Xi + pi) as modelled in the General Cascade Pr
 ogram (GCP) is unable to reach the observed hyperon yields. In addition\, 
 when modifying this initial condition to include baryon junction stopping 
 and pair production mechanisms as modelled by HIJING/BBbar\, the junction 
 mechanisms and GCP chemical rates are unable to account for both the hyper
 on yields and the K/pi ratio. However\, the addition of transient field fl
 uctuations to HIJING/BBbar+GCP is proposed to account for the observed str
 angeness enhancement. The implications of these transient fields\, which r
 esult from the geometrical overlap of wounded nucleons\, are discussed. \n
 \n2. 'The Colored Glass Condensate and Extreme QCD' \nThe high-energy limi
 t of QCD is controlled by the small x part of a hadron wavefunction. I arg
 ue that this part of the wavefunction is universal to all hadrons and is c
 omposed of a new form of matter: \nA Coloured Glass Condensate. This matte
 r is weakly interacting at for very small x\, but is non-perturbative beca
 use of the highly occupied boson states\, which compose the Condensate. Su
 ch matter might be studied in high-energy lepton-hadron or hadron-hadron i
 nteractions. The high-energy limit is controlled by the density of matter 
 in the small x wavefunction\, and it is argued therefore that the best had
 ron for such studies is the largest possible nucleus.\n\n3. 'Jet Correlati
 on and Scale-Local Measures\nVarious types of correlation analysis have be
 en applied in the search \nfor pQCD effects in the multihadron final state
  of jets. I consider some recent analyses of Delphi and H1 jet data and co
 mpare standard correlation measures with scale-local topological measures.
  I reinterpret the experimental results from a scale-local perspective and
  suggest ways to improve jet correlation analysis. I observe that scale-de
 pendent correlation are sharply limited in these data\, restricted primari
 ly to jet width fluctuations and leading to the question where is the scal
 e-invariant pQCD structure expected from qluon bremsstrahlung? I also cons
 ider some theoretical predictions of power-law behaviour in jet measures.O

DESCRIPTION:I describe a recently established connection between fluctuati

 ation induced by radial or transverse Hubble flow has been identified. Thi
 s development provides information on the space-time structure of the free
 zeout surface at the fm length scale and has a cosmological analog in the 
 use of red shifts and a universal Hubble-flow hypothesis to map relative g
 alactic positions. The Hubble-flow method permits comparison between the c
 orrelation structure of the longitudinal phase space of hadron-hadron coll
 isions and the transverse phase space of heavy-ion collisions. I present r
 elated results from NA49 Pb-Pb data\, which may indicate the presence of l
 attice-like structures on the transverse hadronic freezeout surface. Recen
 t predictions of suppressed fluctuations in conserved measures resulting f
 rom sudden traversal of the QCD phase boundary can be related to such stru

 dron+proton and centrality defined hadron+Pb collisions. In particular\, p
 roton and pion induced reactions are used in order to separate contributio

 h p+A collisions should provide unique information about space-time develo

 . Baryon number flow enhanced by multiple colour exchanges of the projecti
 le in nuclear matter is responsible for the baryon stopping in heavy ion c

 eractions. \nEnergy loss by fast partons propagating through a medium is p
 retty well studied theoretically while an adequate experimental informatio
 n is still lacking. This phenomenon is expected to serve as a sensitive pr
 obe for creation of a dense matter in heavy ion collisions. Broadening of 
 transverse momentum of a parton propagating through nuclear matter results
  from interplay of soft and hard interactions. Measured in p+A it is a sen

DESCRIPTION:1. Elliptic Flow at RHIC\nby Art Poskanzer (LBNL)\n\nElliptic 
 flow is one of the hadronic observable sensitive to the very early stages 
 of the evolution of the system created in nuclear collisions.\nWe report f
 irst results on elliptic flow of charged particles at midrapidity in Au+Au
  collisions at sqrt(s) = 130 A GeV using the STAR TPC at RHIC.\n\n2. Resul
 ts from CERES/NA45 on flow at 40 AGEV\nby TBA\n\nPreliminary results on di
 rected and elliptic flow of charged particles from 40 A GeV/c Pb + Au coll
 isions will be reported.\n\n3. Anisotropic Transverse Flow and the Quark H
 adron Phase Transition\nby Peter Kolb (Univ. of Regensburg)\n\nThe evoluti
 on of the fireball matter in the transverse plane of a heavy ion collision
  is of particular interest\, as it exhibits features of flow which can onl
 y be explained in terms of large pressure that is built up at early times 
 in the reaction. Elliptic flow\, generated in noncentral collisions and re
 sulting in an 'ellipticity' of the particle spectra is sensitive to even e
 arlier stages of the evolution than radial flow. \nWe demonstrate these id
 eas within a 3+1 dimensional hydrodynamical simulation with boost-invarian
 ce in longitudinal direction. We discuss the influence of collision centra
 lity and initial energy density on the transverse flow pattern and the res
 ulting angular distributions of emitted particles near midrapidity for col
 lision energies ranging from AGS to LHC. In this context we examine the in
 fluence of a possible phase transition to colour deconfined quark-gluon pl
 asma which could lead to an observable nonmonotonic excitation function of
  elliptic flow. \nComparing our results to the first available data from A
 u+Au collisions at STAR we conclude that the concepts of early thermalizat
 ion and hydrodynamics are well applicable in a rather wide range of impact
  parameters. For large impact parameters however\, thermalization seems to
  be incomplete.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka\, Ulrich Heinz and Urs Wiedemann\n

DESCRIPTION:Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) delivered 
 first collisions of Gold nuclei in the evening of June 12th. After a decad
 e-long construction and commissioning effort\, this allowed experimenters 
 a first look at nuclear matter in conditions never before observed in the 
 laboratory. During the first year's physics run\, which ended in early Sep
 tember\, all four experiments (Brahms\, Phenix\, Phobos and Star) recorded
  several million collision events and are now working on the analysis of t
 hese data.We will present first results of the RHIC physics analysis\, inc
 luding measurements of the charged particle multiplicity. Results will be 
 discussed in comparison to data from lower energies at the CERN SPS and mo
 del predictions.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka\, Ulrich Heinz and Urs Wiedemann\

 tion of the system created in heavy\nion collisions. They also provide str

 eriment in central 158 AGeV Pb+Pb collisions\nby Laurent Rosselet (Univ. o
 f Geneva)\n\nCompared to two-particle interferometry\, three-particle inte
 rferometry can provide additional information on the space-time emission. 
 In particular\, if the emission is fully chaotic\, the three-particle inte
 rference study gives access to the phase of the source function's Fourier 
 transform\, which is affected by the emission asymmetry. Three-particle co
 rrelations have been measured for identified negative pions from central 1
 58 A GeV Pb+Pb collisions by the WA98 experiment. A substantial contributi
 on of the genuine three-body correlation has been found\, which is compati
 ble with a mainly chaotic and symmetric source.\n\nMulti-Boson Effects in 
 Bose-Einstein Interferometry\nby Ulrich Heinz (CERN)\n\nMulti-boson symmet
 rization effects are expected to affect single-particle momentum spectra a
 nd 2-particle correlations if\, at freeze-out\, the boson phase space dens
 ity is large. In event ensembles with arbitrary multiplicity distributions
  they also lead in general to new residual correlations which modify the s
 hape of the 2-boson correlation function. It is argued that this shape cha
 nge does not depend on details of the source and is controlled predominant
 ly by its average phase-space density. It can thus be used to search for (
 the absence of) multi-boson effects. Various other aspects related to this
  shape change are also discussed: variations in the apparent correlation s
 trength ('intercept parameter')\, the general absence of phase coherence i
 n models with independent particle emission ('chaotic sources')\, and the 
 impossibility of obtaining a 'pion laser' in such models. \n\nA program of
  close velocity correlation studies for ALICE\nJan Pluta (Warsaw Universit
 y of Technology)\n\nIn the frame of Physics Performance Report for ALICE a
  program for 'Space-time evolution\; momentum correlations' is proposed. T
 he contents of this program will be shortly reviewed and discussed. The ma
 in points will include: present situation\, HBT corrrelations for expandin
 g systems\, role of HBT correlations in interpreting QGP signatures\, spec
 ific effects of correlations at LHC energies\, event generation with speci
 fic afterburners\, correlation effects for ALICE geometry and resolution\,
  conclusions for ALICE hardware and software development. The plan for rea
 lisation of this program will be briefly discussed as well.\n\nRecent NA49
  results on unlike particle correlations in Pb+Pb collisions at 160 AGeV\n
 by Richard Lednicky (Institute of Physics\, Prague and MPI\, Munich)\n\nRe
 cent NA49 results on unlike particle correlations at small relative veloci
 ties are presented based on 400k events of central Pb+Pb collisions at 158
  AGeV. Comparison with the RQMD transport code simulations indicates 20 pe
 r cent overestimation of the space-time freezeout characteristics in the m
 odel.\nThe relative space-time asymmetries between pions and protons are o
 bserved on the level of several per cent. They agree with the RQMD predict
 ions and also\, qualitatively\, with the predictions based on a universal 
 hydrodynamical transversal flow parametrized in the usual linear form whic
 h\, however\, seems to underestimate the size of the effect. Being sensiti
 ve to the relative time delays and to the intensity of collective flows\, 
 the correlations of unlike particles can become a promising tool in a stud
 y of the deconfinement transition and the formation of quark-gluon plasma.
 \n\nCorrelation search for coherent pion emission in heavy ion collisions\
 nby Yuri Sinyukov (Bogolyubov ITP\, Kiev and Subatech\, Nantes)\n\nThe met
 hods allowing to extract the coherent pion spectrum from Pi-Pi-\, Pi+Pi+ a
 nd Pi+Pi- correlation functions and single-pion spectra are suggested. The
 y exploit a nontrivial modification of the quantum statistical and final s
 tate interaction effects on the correlation functions of like and unlike p
 ions in the presence of charge-constrained coherent states. The possible p
 hysical processes which could produce the coherent pion radiation in ultra
 -relativistic nuclear collisions are discussed. \nIn collaboration with S.

 interactions. Then I will discuss effects of nuclear shadowing on the tota
 l cross sections. Next\, I will describe the effects of energy loss in the
  finite acceptance of a real detector in a number of lepton pair invariant
  mass regions and discuss which components (heavy quarks\, Drell-Yan) are 
 most important to the dilepton continuum. I will discuss some possible ref
 erence processes for quarkonium suppression in light of these results.\n\n
 11:00-11:30 Jean-Yves Ollitrault (CEA Saclay)\nCharmonium suppression in c
 entral Pb-Pb collisions\n\nA recent analysis of Pb--Pb data by the NA50 co
 llaboration shows that the J/psi over Drell-Yan ratio as a function of ET 
 suggests a two-threshold structure: the first threshold\, already seen in 
 earlier data\, corresponds to the onset of the so-called 'anomalous J/psi 
 suppression'\, while the second threshold appears at the highest values of
  ET\, corresponding to the most central collisions. \nI present a simple m
 odel of anomalous J/psi suppression which provides a perfect fit to these 
 recent data. This model assumes that the J/psi disappears gradually when t
 he local energy density increases. The second decrease of the J/psi over D
 rell-Yan ratio is interpreted as an effect of transverse energy fluctuatio
 ns: the higher the transverse energy\, the larger the region where the J/p
 si's disappear. I also discuss the recently measure pT dependence of J/Psi
  suppression and present prediction for RHIC. \n\n\n11:30-12:00 Johanna St

  quarkonia production\n\nThis talk reports the calculations of charmonia p
 roduction in nucleus-nucleus collisions assuming that the mechanism for fo
 rmation of hadrons which contain charm quarks distributes the charm in had
 rons according to a statistical prescription\, and the total charm availab
 le is that produced in the initial hard collisions of hadrons. The statist
 ical coalescence model with an exact charm conservation is considered. Fro
 m the J/psi multiplicity data in Pb+Pb collisions at 158 AGeV the open cha
 rm yield is predicted about a factor 3 above the standard pQCD estimates.\
 nThe production of open charm and J/psi is discussed also for the RHIC ene
 rgies. Both the suppression and enhancement effects of the ratio of the J/
 psi to the open charm in heavy ion collisions are found. We argue that a m
 easurement at RHIC energies is crucial for disentangling between the diffe

DESCRIPTION:1.Peter Minkowski (Univ. Bern) \n On the thermal phases of QCD
 : quark gluon plasma - condensed hadrons\n\nThe base condensates within QC
 D with u\,d and s flavors modify the thermodynamic properties of the conde
 nsed phase through a positive vacuum pressure. The vanishing of this press
 ure generates the plasma phase with two extreme boundaries: \n\na) zero ch
 emical potentials and \nb) zero temperature. \nTheoretical expectations fo
 r signatures of the phase transition are discussed together with the limit
 ations of a thermal description of multiparticle production through centra
 l collisions of heavy ions\, hadrons and e+e- annihilation.\n\n2. Sonja Ka
 bana (Univ. Bern)\nInitial energy density: a unique indicator of the QCD p
 hase transition?\n\nWe address the following questions:\n\n1) Is there evi
 dence for the QCD phase transition in global observables showing a discont
 inuity\, beyond rare probes as the J/Psi or Omega data?\n\n2) Can we extra
 ct from the data the critical initial energy density above which the QCD p
 hase transition occurs?\n\n3) Is the initial energy density the only discr
 iminating parameter for this transition ?\n\nThe answers to those question
 s are tentatively: yes.\n\nWe discuss to which extent universal features o
 f the QCD phase transition in particle and nuclei collisions appear. These
  assertions will be challenged by new RHIC and SPS measurements.\n\n3. Joe
 rg Raufeisen (Los Alamos National Laboratory)\nColor dipole approach to th
 e Drell-Yan process in pA collisions\n\nIn the target rest frame and at hi
 gh energies\, Drell-Yan (DY) dilepton production looks like bremsstrahlung
  of massive photons\, rather than parton annihilation. The projectile quar
 k is decomposed into a series of Fock states. Configurations with fixed tr
 ansverse separations are interaction eigenstates for pp scattering. The DY
  cross section can then be expressed in terms of the same color dipole cro
 ss section as DIS. This approach is especially suitable to describe nuclea
 r effects\, since it allows to apply Glauber multiple scattering theory. W
 e go beyond the Glauber eikonal approximation by taking into account trans
 itions between states\, which would be eigenstates for a proton target. We
  calculate nuclear shadowing at large Feynman-$x_F$ for DY in proton-nucle
 us collisions\, compare to existing data from E772 and make predictions fo
 r RHIC. Nuclear effects on the transverse momentum distribution are also i
 nvestigated.\n\nOrganiser(s): Yiota Foka\, Guy Paic and Urs Wiedemann\n\nh

DESCRIPTION:10:00 - 11:00 Lanny Ray (Univ. of Texas)\nSimulating Two-Parti
 cle Correlations in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions\n\nAn algorithm for 
 generating two-particle correlations in the relative momentum space distri
 butions of particles produced in simulated relativistic heavy ion collisio
 ns has been implemented in a computer code and used extensively in simulat
 ion studies by the STAR collaboration. Recently this code was modified in 
 order to accommodate the much higher event multiplicities anticipated in P
 b+Pb collisions at the LHC as will be measured with the ALICE detector. Th
 e basic simulation method\, the experiences gained from use of this tool i
 n the STAR-HBT data analysis effort\, and application of the code for the 
 LHC-ALICE experiment will be described. \n\n11:00 - 11:30 Jan Pluta (Warsa
 w Univ. of Technology)\nHBT and FSI simulations for ALICE\n\nWe discuss th
 e physics which can be learnt from two-particle momentum correlations in h
 eavy ion collisions at the LHC. The role of both identical particle HBT mo
 mentum correlations and non-identical particle FSI correlations is explain
 ed. Both are sensitive to different aspects of the space-time evolution. T
 opics include: event generation with HBT and FSI afterburners\, Coulomb co
 rrection\, the role of strong Final State Interactions. Also\, for the env
 ironment of the ALICE detection system\, we discuss the expected resolutio
 n and purity of the shape of the correlation function\, and the possibilit
 y to observe some particular correlation effects.\n\n3) 11:30 - 12:00\nDis

 t of Mutual Coulomb Dissociation in 130 GeV/A Au+Au collisions at RHIC\n\n
 We report on the first measurement of Mutual Coulomb Dissociation in Heavy
  Ion Collisions. We employ forward calorimeters to measure neutron multipl
 icity at Beam rapidity in peripheral collisions. The measured cross sectio
 n for simultaneous electromagnetic breakup of Au nuclei at 130 GeV/A is 3.
 6 barns in good agreement with calculations.\n\nKai Hencken (University of
  Basel)\nPhoton-photon and photon-hadron physics at relativistic heavy ion
  colliders\n\nDue to the coherence\, there are strong electromagnetic fiel
 ds of short duration in peripheral relativistic heavy ion collisions. \nTh
 ey give rise to photon-photon and photon-nucleus collisions with a high fl
 ux of quasireal photons. We discuss photon-photon luminosities that can be
  reached at the LHC as well as photonuclear processes. Electron-positron p
 airs are produced copiously in these collisions\; they are a possible back
 ground process and an important source for beam loss.Organiser(s): Yiota F

 \n\nCharged kaon production in Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV measured with
  the NA52 experiment\n\nWe present the dependence of charged kaon yields p
 roduced in Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV\, on the number of nucleons parti
 cipating in the collision (N). We observe the onset of 'kaon enhancement' 
 with respect to p+Be and the most peripheral Pb+Pb collisions\, near N=80.
  This onset may be associated with a QCD phase transition. We discuss how 
 the NA52 data compare to results from other experiments.\n\n9:30-10:00 Ada
 m Jacholkowski (Univ. of Bari) for the NA57/WA97 collaboration\nStrangenes
 s production study in the NA57 experiment\n\nThe NA57 experiment has been 
 designed to study the onset of the strange baryon and antibaryon enhanceme
 nts in PbPb with respect to pBe collisions\, first observed by the WA97 ex
 periment at 160 A GeV/c beam momentum. The aim is to look for the dependen
 ce of these enhancements on: the interaction volume\, as measured by the n
 umber of wounded nucleons i.e. those nucleons which undergo at least one p
 rimary inelastic scattering with another nucleon the collision energy per 
 incoming nucleon. The window of geometrical acceptance of NA57 is similar 
 to that of WA97. NA57\, however\, extends its centrality range down to a l
 ower limit of about 50 wounded nucleons\, while the corresponding limit in
  WA97 was about 100 . In addition\, NA57 has collected data both at 160 an
 d at 40 A GeV/c\, while WA97 collected data only at the top SPS beam momen
 tum of 160 A GeV/c. We present the first results on strange baryon product
 ion and comment on the forthcoming analysis.\n\ncoffee break \n\n10:15-10:
 30 Thorsten Kollegger (IKF\, Frankfurt) for the NA49 collaboration\n\nStra
 nge particle production in A+A collisions from NA49\n\nData on strange par
 ticle production from NA49 will be presented. In particular\, strangeness 
 yields in central Pb+Pb collisions at 40 AGeV will be shown. Together with
  lower (AGS) and higher (top-SPS\, RHIC) energies\, they indicate a non-mo
 notonic behaviour of the K+/pi+ ratio. \nThe interesting energy region is 
 located at lower SPS energies (20-80 \nAGeV). In addition\, we present dat
 a on the system size dependence of the production of strange hadrons (kaon
 s\, lamdba(1520)).\n\n10:30-11:00 Tatjana Susa (Institute Rudjer Boskovic\
 , Zagreb) for the NA49 collaboration\n\nStrangeness production in p+p and 
 p+A collisions from NA49\n\nXi- and antiXi+ baryons have been measured wit
 h the NA49 detector over a wide range of hadronic reactions making use of 
 full pt coverage in a cms rapidity interval from -1.0 to +1.0 units. The f
 irst measurement of pt and y distributions over this acceptance interval i
 n p+p interactions\, as well as centrality-controlled p+Pb reactions is pr
 esented. Rapidity distribution of Xi- and antiXi+ in central PbPb collisio
 ns and a comparative study of antiXi+ over Xi- ratio in all these reaction
 s will be discussed.    \n\n11:00-11:15 Karel Safarik (CERN)\n\nComments o
 n pp and pA strangeness production\n\nData on strangeness production in pp
  and pA collisions are of crucial importance in understanding of strangene
 ss enhancement in AA collisions. We will review the experimental situation
  in pp and pA interactions at high energies and discussed the proposed int
 erpetations and implications for AA collisions.\n\n11:15 Jan Rafelski (Uni
 v. Arizona\, Tucson)\n\nStrange Hadrons and their resonances as a diagnost
 ic tool of freeze-out dynamics\n\nWe show in an analysis of the yield of h
 adrons and the shape of strange baryon and antibaryon spectra that hadroni
 c particles must have been produced in a sudden process with a common cond
 ition for chemical and thermal freeze-out. In order to experimentally and 
 directly distinguish between sudden nonequilibrium\, and smooth reequilibr
 ation hadronization\, we propose to explore strange hadron resonance produ
 ction\, (e.g.K*(892)\, Lambda(1520) and Sigma(1385) ). We demonstrate that
  using the yields relative to Kaons\, and Lambda respectively\, the two ke
 y physical parameters\, the hadronization temperature and hadronization ti
 me can be obtained. Work carried out in collaboration with Jean Letessier 
 (Paris) and Giorgio Torrieri (Tucson)\n\nlunch break \n\n14:00-14:30 Krzys
 ztof Redlich (GSI\, Germany and Univ. Wroclaw\, Poland) \n\nStatistical Ha
 dronization and Strangeness Enhancement in Heavy Ion Collisions\n\nThe str
 ange and non strange hadron production in heavy ion collisions will be dis
 cussed in very broad energy range from SIS up to RHIC. We argue that the a
 vailable data are showing a high degree of hadrochemical equilibration and
  we derive unified conditions for chemical freezeout. We show\, on the bas
 is of kinetic evolution equation\, that the consistent treatment of strang
 eness equilibration at low collision energy or in peripheral heavy ion col
 lisions at SPS require canonical formulation of strangeness conservation. 
 We argue that the observed enhancement of strange baryons and antibaryons 
 yield in central A-A relative to p-p or p-A collisions can be possibly exp
 lained in terms of the statistical model as the passage from the grand can
 onical to canonical equilibrium limit. The specific centrality dependence 
 of multistrange baryons as a signal for deconfinement will be also discuss
 ed.\n\n14:30-15:00 Helmut Oeschler (Darmstadt University of Technology\, G
 ermany)\n\nStrange Particle Production from SIS up to AGS\n\nA review of s
 trange particle production in heavy ion collisions at incident energies up
  to 40 AGeV is presented. It is shown how the \nshape of the spectra and t
 he various particle yields vary with system size\, with centrality and wit
 h incident energy. A statistical model assuming chemical equilibrium and l
 ocal strangeness conservation explains most of the observed features. Emph
 asis is put to the study of K+ and K- emission. Their very different behav
 iour at low incident energies can be explained by the canonical formulatio
 n of the statistical model. The independence of the K+ to K- ratio on the 
 number of participating nucleons observed between SIS and RHIC energies is
  a strong argument for chemical equilibration. Furthermore\, this model pr
 edicts a maximum of the strangeness content at incident energies around 30
  AGeV. \n\nDiscussionOrganiser(s): Yiota Foka\, Guy Paic and Urs Wiedemann

DESCRIPTION:Hard scattering in p-p collisions was discovered at the CERN I
 SR by \nthe observation of a very large flux of high transverse momentum p
 ions \nwith a power-law tail which varied systematically with the c.m. ene
 rgy of the collision. This observation in 1972 proved that the partons of 
 deeply inelastic scattering were strongly interacting. Further ISR measure
 ments utilizing inclusive single or pairs of hadrons established that high
  transverse momentum particles are produced from states with two roughly b
 ack-to-back jets which are the result of scattering of point-like constitu
 ents of the protons as described by QCD. In the region of hard-scattering\
 , pT > 2 GeV/c\, the scaling from p-p to nuclear collisions should be simp
 ly proportional to the relative number of point-like sources in each\, cor
 responding to A (p+A)\, A^2 (A+A) for \nthe total rate\, and to Tab\, the 
 thickness function\, as a function of centrality. Measurements of high pT 
 pion production in p+A and A+A collisions at FERMILAB and CERN fixed targe
 t energies and at the CERN ISR\, however\, all showed an enhancement compa
 red to the point-like scaling\, a phenomenon known as ``the Cronin effect'
 '. In stark contrast to the results at lower c.m. energies\, measurements 
 of high pT pizero production at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=130$ GeV from PHENIX at RHIC
  show a huge suppression compared to point-like scaling. Such an effect ha
 s been predicted in QCD\, for a sufficiently hot\, dense\, and colorful me
 dium\, due to the interaction of the outgoing partons with the medium. The
  PHENIX results will be presented and discussed in the context of the near
 ly 30 year history of this subject\, which originated at CERN.Organiser(s)

DESCRIPTION:The first part of the talk summarizes our current understandin
 g of spectacular collective explosion taking place in heavy ion collisions
  at RHIC energies. We show that Hydro-to-Hadrons (H2H) model\, combining h
 ydro at QGP/mixed phases with hadronic cascade (RQMD) in the hadronic phas
 e provides rather accurate description of elliptic and radial flow. Good d
 escription is also provided to the SPS data\, as well as rather to periphe
 ral collisions at RHIC. Surprisingly\, baryons/antibaryons with transverse
  momenta up to 2-3 GeV are also well described. All of this can only exist
  due to 'QGP push' at early stages\, and a particular EoS\, consistent wit
 h lattice\, emerges from global analysis. The second part of the talk summ
 arizes the situation more generally. Jet quenching and its azimuthal depen
 dence indicate that not only QGP is there\, but it seem to have nearly all
  of the final entropy rather early. Since naive perturbative picture (HIJI
 NG) does not explain it\, other alternatives with non-perturbative product
 ion mechanism are discussed. Organiser(s): Yiota Foka\, Guy Paic and Urs W

  how the magnitude of charge fluctuations depends on the detector acceptan
 ce.\n\n4) Ulrich Heinz (Ohio State University) \nFluctuations of net elect

 work done a year ago with Asakawa and Mueller on net charge fluctuations a

DESCRIPTION:The suppressed production of J/Psi's in central Pb-Pb collisio
 ns show a significant deviation with expectations based on nuclear absorpt
 ion\, and constitutes a signature of the formation of a deconfined state o
 f matter. However\, a good understanding of nuclear effects in J/Psi produ
 ction is still lacking. Precision measurements on quarkonium suppression i
 n pA collisions can provide valuable input for the interpretation of exist
 ing and upcoming data from heavy ion experiments. Hera-B is a fixed target
  hadronic B factory at DESY\, using eight wires of different materials in 
 the halo of the HERA proton beam. \nIts trigger system is specifically des
 igned to select events containing J/Psi candidates. The expected large amo
 unt of such events will enable precision measurements of nuclear suppressi
 on of J/Psi\, Psi'\, Chi_c and Upsilons in pA collisions. \nBesides provid
 ing data in the largely uncharted kinematic domain of negative x_F\, Hera-
 B will be able to reconstruct a large fraction of the associated particles
  in the event. Such measurements provide a direct gauge for suppression pa
 tterns in heavy ion collisions. \nThe Hera-B spectrometer and its potentia
 l for measuring nuclear effects in the production of heavy quarkonia will 
 be presented.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka\, Guy Paic and Urs Wiedemann / EP Di

DESCRIPTION:The experimental investigations of the charged particles forwa
 rd-backward multiplicity correlations and especially of the correlations i
 n the transverse momenta can give us the information on the number of emit
 ting centers and hence on the fusion of colour strings. It's significant t
 hat even low pT-distributions in the central region contain this valuable 
 information on the colour string fusion. The first results on the computat
 ions of forward-backward charged particles correlations on the basis of MC
  simulations using HIJING event generator for Pb-Pb collisions at LHC ener
 gies are presented. The results on multiplicity and pT correlations are ob
 tained at different values of the impact parameter and for different choic
 es of forward-backward rapidity windows taking into account ALICE acceptan
 ce.\nIn future we plan to study forward-backward correlations using anothe
 r event generator based on DPM and QGSM\, which enables the MC simulations
  with and without the string fusion. It enables to choose most adequate co
 rrelation variables for the registration of the possible string fusion in 
 ALICE.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka\, Guy Paic and Urs Wiedemann\n\nhttp://indi

DESCRIPTION:1. Daniele Treleani (Trieste University & INFN\, Trieste)\n\nM
 ultiparton scatterings in proton-nucleus collisions at the LHC\n\nMultipar
 ton interactions are a unique tool to obtain a detailed information on the
  hadron structure\, allowing one to explore the hadron in different points
  contemporarily and with various hard probes. Particularly interesting is 
 the case of hadron-nucleus collisions\, both for the substantial enhanceme
 nt of rates and for the additional handle on the interaction dynamics\, pr
 ovided by the dependence on the atomic mass number of the process. Various
  advantages in measuring the hadronic double parton distributions with N-A
  collisions are outlined\, while the inclusive transverse spectrum of the 
 produced partons represents a stringent test of the interaction mechanism.
 \n\n2. Krzysztof Redlich (CERN TH & Wroclaw University)\n\nString dynamics
  versus statistical hadronization in p-p and heavy ion collisions\n\nWe fo
 rmulate the kinetic equation for the time evolution and equilibration of a
 belian charged particles in the strongly interacting medium. The results a
 re then applied to describe particle yields obtained in p-p\, p-A and heav
 y ion collisions. The observable is proposed to distinguish between statis
 tical hadronization and string dynamics.\n\n3. Eugene Zabrodin (University
  of Tuebingen)\n\nAnalysis of particle production in ultra-relativistic he
 avy ion collisions within a two-source statistical model\n\nThe experiment
 al data on hadron yields and ratios in central lead-lead and gold-gold col
 lisions at SPS and RHIC energies\, respectively\, are analysed within a tw
 o-source statistical model of an ideal hadron gas. A comparison with the s
 tandard thermal model is given. The two sources\, which can reach the chem
 ical and thermal equilibrium separately and may have different temperature
 s\, particle and strangeness densities\, and other thermodynamic character
 istics\, represent the expanding system of colliding heavy ions\, where th
 e hot central fireball is embedded in a larger but cooler fireball. The vo
 lume of the central source increases with rising bombarding energy. Result
 s of the two-source model fit to RHIC experimental data at midrapidity coi
 ncide with the results of the one-source thermal model fit\, indicating th
 e formation of an extended fireball\, which is three times larger than the
  corresponding core at SPS.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka\, Urs Wiedemann / EP D

DESCRIPTION:Centrality and beam energy dependence of HBT radii at SPS\nby 
 Harald Appelshaeuser (University of Heidelberg) for the CERES collaboratio
 n\n\nWe present preliminary results of a two-pion HBT interferometry analy
 sis\, performed by the CERES/NA45 experiment at the CERN-SPS. The centrali
 ty dependence of HBT radii from 40\, 80\, and 158 A GeV Pb+Au collisions w
 ill be shown. We also discuss possible conclusions about the lifetime\, th
 e transverse flow velocity and the phase space density of the system at fr
 eeze-out\, characterizing the space-time evolution. Our results will be pu
 t into perspective with HBT results from different experiments and at diff
 erent bombarding energies.\n\nThe HBT Puzzle at RHIC\nby Boris Tomasik (CE
 RN TH Division)\n\nBefore the HBT data for RHIC were taken\, theoretical p
 redictions expected large correlation radii and a clear signal of a long l
 ifetime visible through a large ratio of outward-to-sideward radius. None 
 of these expectations fulfilled. The data indicate a strongly expanding fi
 reball which seems to explode instantaneously rather than emit particles o
 ver a longer time. In a thermal model fit this would require very low free
 ze-out temperature. In order to understand the size of HBT radii a measure
 ment of pion phase-space density is crucial. Despite of an earlier suggest
 ion that the freeze-out phase-space density is a universal quantity\, the 
 data from STAR indicate an increase when compared to SPS energy. This will
  be\, to a large part\, an overview talk about what the data show and how 
 we (don't) understand them.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka\, Guy Paic and Urs Wie

  conclusions of a comprehensive study of this issue. The processes conside
 red include the formation of strange\, negatively charged\, stable matter 
 (stranglets)\, as well as the production of more exotic objects such as mo
 nopoles and mini black holes. Using data from cosmic rays\, astrophysics\,

DESCRIPTION:The ALICE experiment plans to measure hadronic transverse mome
 ntum spectra in nucleus-nucleus collisions at 5.5 TeV/A center of mass ene
 rgy up to p_t \\approx 100 GeV. One of the main motivation for this is to 
 extract from the nuclear modifications of the measured spectra information
  about the hot and dense matter created in the collision region. In this t
 alk\, I shall describe our current theoretical understanding of how to inc
 orporate initial and final state medium effects in high-pt particle produc
 tion in the context of LO perturbative QCD. Initial state effects are desc
 ribed by nuclear modifications to parton distribution functions and final 
 state effects by medium-modified fragmentation functions. Constraints from
  present data in the two mechanisms will be presented as well as the expec
 tations for the LHC. Computer codes easy to implement in MC event generato

DESCRIPTION:The addition of a radial TPC to the CERES experiment at the CE
 RN-SPS\nimproved significantly the sensitivity of the spectrometer to hadr
 onic\nobservables near midrapidity and allowed for a systematic study of t
 he\ncentrality dependence of two-pion Bose-Einstein correlations in Pb+Au\
 ncollisions at 40\, 80\, and 158 AGeV. This range of beam energies at SPS\
 nprovides an important link between the nucleon dominated domain at\nlower
  beam energies and the pion dominated domain at the colliders.\nA multi-di
 mensional analysis of the correlation function as function\nof the pair tr
 ansverse momentum $k_t$ provides access to quantities\ncharacterizing the 
 space-time evolution\, such as the lifetime of the\nsystem\, the transvers
 e expansion velocity and the duration of pion\nemission. A detailed compar
 ison of the $k_t$ dependencies of the HBT\nparameters from all available b
 eam energies reveals a smooth transition\nfrom nucleon to pion dominated f
 reeze-out between AGS and RHIC energies\nand explains the apparently weak 
 overall beam energy dependence. The\ntransition region is characterized by
  a minimum of the effective\nfreeze-out volume. This non-monotonic behavio
 ur rules out that\nfreeze-out happens at constant density. We will show th
 at the minimum\nappears naturally if different cross sections of pions wit
 h the\nsurrounding medium due to a change of the fireball composition with
 \nbeam energy are considered. This finally leads to a universal pion\nfree
 ze-out condition in terms of their mean free path from AGS to RHIC.\nOrgan

 nted new data from the 200 GeV Au+Au and p+p runs\, extending the analysis
  of inclusive suppression and anisotropy well into the perturbative regime
 . Two-particle correlations at high pT show direct evidence of jet fragmen
 tation and indicate a strong suppression of back-to-back hadron pairs in t
 he most central nuclear collisions. I will discuss the new STAR data and a
  plausible picture of high pT hadron production in nuclear collisions that

 nMike Lisa (Ohio State Univercity)\nThe extreme conditions achieved in hea
 vy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are expect
 ed to trigger a phase transition from normal hadronic matter to the quark-
 gluon plasma (QGP)\, in which partonic degrees of freedom are relevant ove
 r large lengthscales. Identifying and studying this phase of matter is the
  central goal of the RHIC program. Crucial to this goal is a reliable theo
 retical framework for understanding the complex early dynamics of the coll
 isions. The early and striking quantitative success of hydrodynamics in de
 scribing low-pt (2. Progress in Correlation Femtoscopy\nRichard Lednicky (
 Institute for Nuclear Research\, Dubna and Institute of Physics ASCR\, Pra
 gue)\nRecent results on particle momentum and spin correlations are discus
 sed\, particularly\, in view of the role played by the effect of final sta
 te interaction. It is demonstrated that this effect allows for\n\n(i) corr
 elation femtometry with unlike particles (similar to the effect of quantum
  statistics)\;\n\n(ii) study of the relative space--time asymmetries in th

 \nBose-Einstein correlations between two identified negative pions have be
 en analysed as a function of kT\, using two different parameterizations. T
 he results indicate that the source does not have a strictly boost invaria
 nt expansion or spend time in a long-lived intermediate phase. A compariso
 n between data and a hydrodynamical based simulation shows very good agree
 ment for the radii parameters as a function of kT. The pion phase-space de
 nsity at freeze-out has been measured and agrees well with the Tomasik-Hei
 nz model. A large pion chemical potential close to the condensation limit 
 of the pion mass seems to be excluded. The three-pion Bose-Einstein interf
 erometry shows a substantial contribution of the genuine three-pion correl
 ation\, but not quite as large as expected for a fully chaotic and symmetr

 density of color charges of a hot QCD medium. Here\, the probability distr
 ibution D(epsilon) in the energy loss incurred by incoming and outgoing ha
 rd quarks in a  QCD medium is computed numerically from the BDMPS gluon sp
 ectrum. It is shown to follow an empirical log-normal behavior which allow
 s us to give the quenching weight a simple analytic parameterization. The 
 dependence of our results under the infrared and ultraviolet sensitivity o
 f the gluon spectrum is investigated as well. Finally\, as an illustration
 \, we discuss and compare estimates for the quenching of hadron spectra in
  nuclear matter and in a quark-gluon plasma to HERA and RHIC preliminary d

DESCRIPTION:1. Boris Tomasik: Formation time and the jet suppresion at RHI
 C\nI will present a Glauber-type mechanism which leads to suppression of j
 ets with pt up to 10 GeV/c at RHIC. For processes in this kinematic region
 \, the formation time is smaller than the interval between two successive 
 hard pertonic collisions and the subsequent collision influences the jet p
 roduction. This breaks the scaling with the number of binary collisions. T
 he mechanism also leads to a suppression of jet production in d+Au collisi
 ons at RHIC.2. Nestor Armesto: NLO QCD predictions for Jet and Dijet Rates
  in Nuclear Collisions at the LHC\nJet and dijet cross sections in nuclear
  collisions at the LHC will be computed in QCD at NLO. Four sources of unc
 ertainties\, namely parton densities in the nucleon\, nuclear effects in p
 arton densities\, jet-finding algorithm and scale dependence\, will be dis
 cussed. The ratio of LO+NLO over LO predictions will also be examined. Pre
 dictions for the corresponding rates in different collisions will be given
 .3. Peter Levai: Parton coalescence and antiproton/pion anomaly at RHIC\nC
 oalescence of minijet partons with the partons from the quark-gluon plasma
  formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions is suggested as the mechanism
  for production of hadrons with intermediate transverse momentum. The resu
 lting enhanced antiproton and pion yields at intermediate transverse momen
 tum gives a plausible explanation for the observed large antiproton to pio
 n ratio. With further increasing momentum\, the ratio is predicted to decr
 ease and approach the small value given by independent fragmentations of m
 inijet partons after their energy loss in the quark-gluon plasma. Organise

DESCRIPTION:I will review the high pT results for identified hadrons (pi0\
 , p\, pbar) in Au+Au\, d+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV as 
 measured by PHENIX in Run-2 and Run-3 at RHIC. Two of the most interesting
  observations of heavy-ion reactions at collider energies are in the hard 
 scattering sector where central Au+Au data show a very different behaviour
  compared to p+p and peripheral Au+Au collisions at the same sqrt(s). The 
 so-called ''high p_T pi0 suppression'' and the ''anomalous baryon/meson ra
 tio'' observed in central Au+Au collisions will be reviewed and compared t
 o various theoretical calculations based on different strongly interacting
  medium scenarios (final-state partonic energy loss\, initial-state gluon 
 saturation\, ...). Disentagling between these different physical interpret
 ations can be done experimentally by studying the properties of "cold" nuc
 lear matter in p\,d+Au collisions. The results from recent d+Au collisions
 \, where final-state effects such as jet quenching are absent\, will be al
 so presented.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka and Urs Wiedemann\nInformation: http

DESCRIPTION:Recent experimental data on Au+Au collisions from the Relativi
 stic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) show a surprisingly large elliptic flow v2 
 that saturates at high transverse momenta pT > 2-3 GeV. A variety of theor
 etical approaches fail to reproduce this behavior. \nHadronization via par
 ton coalescence provides a solution to the elliptic flow puzzle. Coalescen
 ce predicts a direct relation between v2 of a given hadron and the flows o
 f its constituents\, allowing one to extract v2 of partons. Furthermore\, 
 the flows of various hadron species are expected to be interrelated\, whic
 h can be tested against available final and preliminary RHIC data.\nApplyi
 ng the coalescence formalism to charm hadrons\, it is possible to extract 
 charm quark v2(pT) from that of charm hadrons. This way experiments could 
 determine to what degree charm quarks rescatter in the expanding parton me
 dium and put important constraints on parton energy loss models.Organiser(

 gs. The Cronin enhancement results from pT broadening of incoming partons 
 due to multiple scatterings. Inclusion of pQCD rescatterings leads to unit

  an important tool for understanding the bulk properties of the system cre

 the large elliptic flow at RHIC\, other observables like HBT can now also

DESCRIPTION:The single particle inclusive cross section for hard parton-pa
 rton scattering can be written as G(x_T)/ \\sqrt{s}n under the assumption 
 of factorization of the reaction into scaling parton distribution and frag
 mentation functions together with a short-distance parton-parton hard scat
 tering cross section. Here\, n is a function of x_T=2p_T/ \\sqrt{s} and \\
 sqrt{s}. In LO QCD\, n=4\, as in Rutherford scattering\, but due to higher
  order effects\, measured values of n in p-p collisions are in the range 5
 -8. x_T scaling of the invariant yields is applied to high p_T charged par
 ticle and π0 production in Au+Au collisions at 130 and 200 GeV/A.The π0 
 exhibit x_T scaling with n ~ 6.3 for both central and peripheral collision
 s\, while charged hadrons x_T scale with n ~ 6.3 for peripheral and n ~ 7.
 5 for central Au+Au collisions\, where the value for pp collisions in this
  x_T range is n ~ 6.3. This indicates that the dynamics in Au+Au interacti
 ons for high p_T particle production are the same as in p-p collisions: ha
 rd-scattering according to pQCD with scaling structure and fragmentation f
 unctions. The significant difference in n for charged hadrons in central a
 nd peripheral collisions is traced to the non-scaling behavior of proton p
 roduction in Au+Au central collisions. Protons are enhanced compared to pi
 ons\, relative to jet fragmentation\, over the range 2 0 production in d+A
 u and p+p collisions at 200 GeV/A will also be presented.Organiser(s): Yio

DESCRIPTION:Nucleus-nucleus interaction is studied in the framework of the
  perturbative QCD in the high-colour limit and with a fixed coupling const
 ant. The pomeron tree diagrams are summed by an effective field theory. Th
 e classical field eqations reduce to the non-linear BFKL evolution equatio
 n\, which can easily be solved numerically. The resulting nuclear gluon de
 nsities are found to scale with the "saturation momentum" which grows with
  1/x as a power. The nuclear structure functions are found to grow with 1/
 x as log square. For nucleus-nucleus scattering the field equations are so
 lved by iteration procedure\, which is found convergent in a restricted do
 main of not too high energies and atomic numbers. The found gluon distribu
 tions do not scale\, have their maxima close to 2 GeV independent of rapid
 ity and fall towards the central rapidity region. The cross-sections slowl
 y grow with energy due to the contribution from peripheral collisions\, wh
 ere evolution remains linear. Simple variational estimates at higer rapidi
 ties confirm this tendency.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka and Urs Achim Wiedeman

 into account the increase of the energy deposited due to the increased nuc

 NA50.\n2. abstract by Luciano Ramello\nI will present the most recent anal
 ysis of data taken by experiment NA50 in years 1998 and 2000 concerning th

 igh precision NA50 proton-nucleus data (at 450 and 400 GeV/c) and sulphur-
 uranium NA38 data (at 200 GeV/nucleon)\, the amount of normal nuclear abso

 4.3 +- 0.3 mb with no significant difference between p-A and S-U. The anom

 collisions\, while peripheral collisions are compatible with normal nuclea

 us suppression of high-p_T hadrons\, now observed by all RHIC experiments\
 , indicates that a substantial modification of jet properties is induced b
 y the nuclear medium. Analysis of the two high-p_T particle correlation fu
 nction allows the statistical disentanglement of jet fragment pairs apart 
 from other sources of correlation\, which lets us then examine the jet fra
 gmentation process directly in heavy-ion collisions. The recent results fr
 om the two particle correlation analysis of p+p\, d+Au and Au+Au data at s
 qrt{s_NN}=200 GeV will be discussed.2. Flow at RHIC within the Blast Wave 
 framework\n		by Fabrice Retiere\, Université de Nantes\n		Au-Au collision
 s at RHIC produce a medium whose density appears to be large enough to abs
 orb a significant amount of energy from fast partons and initiate a large 
 collective expansion. Flow builds up over the whole evolution of the syste
 m possibly going through two distinct stages\, one partonic and one hadron
 ic. A wide variety of observables are sensitive to flow but they probe the
  final state of the system and its evolution needs to be inferred from mod
 els. Before describing the system evolution it is mandatory to tie up thes
 e observables together within models or parameterizations. We show that wh
 ile most models fail\, the Blast Wave parameterization is able to describe
  simultaneously spectra\, v2\, and pion source size (HBT). We then investi
 gate flow features by studying its dependence on centrality\, beam energy\
 , and particle species. We find that within the Blast Wave framework\, Xis
  flow less than pions\, Kaons and protons\, suggesting that Xis pick up fl
 ow only from the partonic stage because their hadronic cross-section is pr
 esumably small.3. Jet shapes in non-static media: mapping the flow velocit
 y\n		by Carlos Salgado\, CERN\n		\n		The suppression of particles with hig
 h-pt in high energy heavy ionscollisions have been proposed as a unique to
 ol to measure the density ofthe produced medium. This suppression has been
  observed at RHIC\, givingstrong support to the production of a very dense
  medium. Actually\, thesensitivity of this probe to the density of the med
 ium is limited by the'corona effect': due to the strong suppression\, most
  of the particles areproduced close to the surface. Going beyond the leadi
 ng particlemeasurements would improve the situation as\, for radiative ene
 rgy losses\,the jet broadening is directly related to the energy loss of t
 he leadingparticle. Moreover\, in the case that a dynamical asymmetry is p
 resent inthe medium - for example a flow field - the jet shapes are distor
 ted. Wewill present the first results of a jet measurement which is sensit
 ive notonly to the density of the medium but also to its dynamics. Compari
 son with recent RHIC data and expectations for the LHC will be also presen
 ted.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a042232

DESCRIPTION:The first charm and charmonium data in d+Au collisions at RHIC
  is beginning to appear.  This data offers us a good opportunity to check 
 our basic understanding of hard processes in cold matter at collider energ
 ies. While the charm cross section reported by STAR is significantly highe
 r than predicted by NLO calculations\, the J/psi cross section reported by
  PHENIX is in relatively good agreement with the predicted results.  The r
 atio of J/psi production in d+Au relative to pp collisions shows some inte
 resting structure consistent with models of nuclear shadowing and perhaps 
 some weak absorption. We compare our calculations with the open charm and 
 J/psi data.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka and Urs Achim WiedemannMore informatio

 st-formation hadron interactions play an important role in determining fin
 al-state observables\, and non-equilibrium sudden freeze-out where spectra
  and abundances get determined at the same time and further interactions a
 re negligible. We compare fits to particle yields done within equilibrium 
 and non-equilibrium models\, and show that dropping the equilibration requ
 irement significantly raises the fit's statistical significance.We attempt
  to falsify sudden freeze-out by examining whether particle abundances and
  spectra can be described using the same formation temperature.\nOur fits 
 to particle spectra suggest that the same temperature can be used to descr
 ibe both spectra and abundances both within the equilibrium and non-equili
 brium ansatz. We finish by showing how short-lived resonances can be used 
 to further distinguish between different freeze-out scenarios.Organiser(s)

DESCRIPTION:1. "Jet quenching at RHIC"\n		by Peter Jacobs (CERN/LBNL)The s
 uppression of high pt hadron yields and correlations measured in nuclear c
 ollisions at RHIC presents strong evidence for significant partonic energy
  loss in dense QCD matter ("jet quenching").\n		I will review the availabl
 e data\, with an emphasis on recent developments reported at the Hard Prob
 es conference in early November. I will also discuss hadron production in 
 the not-so-high pt region (pt~3-5 GeV/c)\, which exhibits several striking
  but as yet not well understood nuclear effects that may be due to the int
 erplay between fragmentation and soft processes in the bulk medium.2. "New
  theoretical ideas on jet quenching"\n		by Nestor Armesto Perez (CERN)\n		
 I will present some new theoretical ideas on jet quenching. After a brief 
 review of the current theoretical approach to radiative energy loss of fas
 t partons in a QCD medium\, its effects on single particle spectra and the
  influence of the mass of the parent parton will be quickly addressed. The
 n I will turn to more differential observables.\n		The modification of jet
  shapes and of the associated multiplicity distributions will be shown. Th
 e impact of low transverse momentum collective flow on energy loss will be
  analyzed and exemplified by two cases: First\, longitudinal flow may indu
 ce asymmetries in jet profiles and the associated particle distributions i
 n pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle. Second\, transverse flow may contrib
 ute sizably to the high transverse momentum azimuthal asymmetry\, by selec
 tive elimination of those hard partons which propagate with significant in
 clination against the flow field.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka and Urs Achim Wi

 : suppression of the back-to-back jet correlation in central Au+Au collisi

 tivity of the amount of suppression to the collision geometry in non-centr
 al Au+Au. Recent PHENIX studies have shown weak dependence of the correlat
 ion on leading baryon vs. meson. While most studies have focused primarily
  on the back-to-back correlation\, small-angle correlations have the poten

DESCRIPTION:Lattice QCD calculations predict a transition from the deconfi
 ned thermalized partonic matter Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) to ordinary hadro
 nic matter at a critical temperature Tc ~170 MeV. Previous measurements of
  hadron yields at the intermediate and high transverse momentum and measur
 ements of elliptic flow of hadrons indicate that a dense and strongly inte
 racting system has been produced in Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Thus\, in th
 e early stage of the collision\, dense and strongly interacting matter wil
 l yield to collective effects among constituents such as transverse collec
 tive motion (partonic collectivity). On one hand\, multi-strange baryons h
 ave been suggested to be particularly sensitive to the early stage of heav
 y-ion collisions due to their predicted low hadronic cross sections. On th
 e other\, elliptic flow has proven to be a good tool for understanding the
  properties of the early stage of the collision. Therefore\, elliptic flow
  of multi-strange baryons could be a valuable probe of the early partonic 
 system. In this talk an overview of multi-strange baryon measurements at R
 HIC using the STAR detector will be presented. Particle yields give import
 ant information on the chemical properties of the system while transverse 
 mass distributions seem to suggest multi-strange particles are insensitive
  to the hadronic stage of the system. Particular emphasis will be given to
  the measurements of elliptic flow of multi-strange baryons\, which lend s
 trong support to the idea that collective motion has developed prior to ha
 dronization in the high-energy nuclear collisions at RHIC.Organiser(s): Yi

DESCRIPTION:1. Soft Hadron Production and Thresholds of Phase Changes in R

  has the same properties as seen as function of volume size. This threshol

 , and/or in large volume. Statistical hadronization method of data analysi
 s of the latest experimental AGS\, SPS and RHIC data will be presented\, a
 long with key results about properties of the fireball at the time of hadr

  a phase which is under saturated\, which turns rapidly into a chemically 
 over saturated condition expected in hadronization of QGP.2. Observation o

 Future of the Ion Physics at the CERN SPSby Marek Gazdzicki / IKF\n		Past:
  The results on the energy dependence of hadron production in central Pb+P
 b collisions obtained within the energy scan program at the CERN SPS indic
 ate that the onset of deconfinement is located at about 30A GeV. In partic
 ular\, measured anomalies in the pion yield (the "kink")\, the strangeness
  yield (the "horn") and the shape of transverse mass spectra (the "step") 
 will be discussed. Future: The observation of the onset of deconfinement a
 t about 30A GeV suggests that the critical point of strongly interacting m
 atter\, if it exists\, may be discovered in ion collisions at higher energ

 critical point at the CERN SPS will be discussed.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka

DESCRIPTION:1. Jet quenching: Latest news from RHIC\n			by David d'Enterri
 a / Nevis Labs\, Columbia Univ.\n		Jet quenching\, -- i.e. the absorption 
 of a hard scattered parton produced in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisi
 ons as it traverses the dense strongly interacting medium produced in the 
 reaction --\, has long been proposed as a clear signal of Quark-Gluon-Plas
 ma formation. Non-Abelian radiative energy loss due to multiple gluon emis
 sion off the final partons results in calculable azimuthal and pseudo-rapi
 dity modifications of the energy flow and particle multiplicity patterns w
 ithin the final jets produced in relativistic heavy-ion reactions. I will 
 review the latest experimental results on jet-quenching phenomena observed
  in Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) includi
 ng: (i) excitation function of high pT leading hadron suppression\, (ii) h
 eavy-quark production at large pT\,  (iii) "dip" structure in away-side hi
 gh-pT di-hadron azimuthal correlations\, (iv) enhanced di-jet acoplanarity
 \, and (v) di-jet pseudo-rapidity broadening\; and confront them to theore
 tical expectations of non-Abelian parton energy loss in dense QCD matter.2
 . Suppression of light and heavy flavored hadrons from RHIC to LHC\n			by 
 Andrea Dainese / Padova Univ./INFN\n		Parton energy loss effects in heavy-
 ion collisions will be discussed within a model constructed using the BDMP
 S quenching weights and a realistic collision geometry. After tuning the o
 nly free parameter to the nuclear modification factor suppression measured
  in central Au-Au collisions at top RHIC energy\, the model is consistentl
 y applied to other quenching observables: the centrality evolution of the 
 nuclear modification factor\, the suppression of the away-side jet-like co
 rrelations\, and the azimuthal anisotropies for these observables. Extendi
 ng the model to charm and beauty quarks\, the ratios of nuclear modificati
 on factors of high-pT heavy-flavored mesons to light-flavored hadrons ("he
 avy-to-light ratios") will be shown to be sensitive to the mass  and color
 -charge dependences of parton energy loss. The potential for identifying t
 hese two effects in D and B meson production at RHIC and at LHC will be as
 sessed\, and the predictions will be compared to the most recent charm nuc
 lear modification factor data from RHIC.3. Open heavy flavours: perspectiv
 es of ALICE for the detection of quark energy loss\n			by Rosario Turrisi 
 / Padova Univ./INFN\n		Heavy flavoured hadrons can provide valuable inform
 ation on the formation and evolution of hot and dense matter\, that will b
 e formed in heavy-ion collisions at LHC. In this study we present the ALIC
 E performances for the detection of D and B mesons in the hadronic and the
  semielectronic channel respectively.4. Basic concepts and recent applicat
 ions of the light-cone path integral approach to the medium-induced energy
  loss\n			by Slava Zakharov/Landau Inst.\, Moscow/LAPTH\, Annecy\n		The ba
 sic ideas of the light-cone path integral approach to the induced radiatio
 n in QED and QCD and its recent applications to the energy loss effects in
  QGP and cold nuclear matter are discussed. The applications include: quar
 k energy loss in QGP and cold nuclear matter\; evaluation of the nuclear m
 odification factor for high-p_T hadron production in AA-collisions\; mediu
 m-induced photon radiation in QGP in AA-collisions. We show that due to th
 e finite-size effects the photon spectrum proportionaly to 1/(1-x) contrar
 y to the 1/x Bethe-Heitler one. Our calculations\, contrary to previous st
 udies\, demonstrate that medium effects do not suppress the high-p_T photo
 n production\, and even can enhance it. The numerical results are obtained
  using a new form of the medium-induced spectrum which allows one\, for th
 e first time\, to perform calculations beyond the oscillator approximation
  which neglects the Coulomb effects in parton rescatterings. The role of t
 he finite kinematic bounds is discussed. Our results show that the effect 
 of the kinematic limits is relatively small\, contrary to the prediction o

DESCRIPTION:Critical line in Deconfinement Phase Transition Phase in the S
 ystem of Quark-Gluon Bags\n		\n		 by Mark I. Gorenstein (Bogolyubov Instit
 ute for Theoretical Physics\, Kiev\, Ukraine and Frankfurt Institute for A
 dvanced Studies\, Frankfurt\, Germany)Phase diagram of strongly interactin
 g matter is discussed within the exactly solvable statistical model of the
  quark-gluon bags. The model predicts two phases of matter: the hadron gas
  at a low temperature $T$ and baryonic chemical potential $\\mu_B$\, and t
 he quark-gluon gas at a high $T$ and/or $\\mu_B$. The nature of the phase 
 transition depends on a form of the bag mass-volume spectrum (its pre-expo
 nential factor)\, which is expected to change with the $\\mu_B/T$ ratio. I
 t is therefore likely that the line of the 1$^{st}$ order transition at a 
 high $\\mu_B/T$ ratio is followed by the line of the 2$^{nd}$ order phase 
 transition at an intermediate $\\mu_B/T$\, and then by the lines of 'highe
 r order transitions' at a low $\\mu_B/T$. Jet fragmentation and dijet deco

 ynamics and pQCD\, seems to indicate the presence of a strongly coupled li
 quid-like state of partonic matter. However\, many open questions and puzz
 les prevent us from declaring unambiguously the picture of the collision d
 ynamics.\n		 It is obvious that\, for deeper understanding of observed phe
 nomena\, various multiparticle correlation analyses have to be done. In th
 is talk the properties of jets produced in p+p and Au+Au collisions at RHI
 C are studied using a method of two particle correlations. The trigger par
 ticle is a leading particle from a large transverse momentum jet while the
  associated particle comes from either the same jet or the away-side jet. 
 The main focus is given to the measurement of the fragmentation function a
 nd partonic transverse momentum $k_{T}$ and their modifications in nuclear
  reactions.Organiser(s): Carlos SalgadoPlease note the change of place: bl

DESCRIPTION:1. Early thermalization and the ideal fluid at RHIC: an experi
 mental viewby Raimond Snellings / NIKEF\n		The theoretical description of 
 the bulk properties of the medium created at RHIC point to thermalization 
 times less than 1 fm/c and perhaps as surprising\, it is argued that the m
 atter behaves not like an ideal gas of quarks and gluons but more like an 
 ideal fluid. I will present the key experimental results on which these co
 nclusions are based.\n		MORE INFORMATION:http://www.bnl.gov/riken/May14-15

 260-A8BC83414B7F00002. Hints of incomplete thermalization in RHIC data\n		
 by Nicolas Borghini / CERN\n		The large elliptic flow observed at RHIC is 
 often put forward as a compelling evidence for the formation of a strongly
  coupled quark-gluon plasma. The main argument is that the measured ellipt
 ic flow is as large as predicted by fluid dynamics models that assume full
  thermalization. In this talk\, I shall try to show that this standard bel
 ief may not be quite true. A detailed examination of various experimental 
 results indeed suggests that the system is not in full local equilibrium. 
 Implications for the QCD equation of state and perspectives for LHC will b
 e discussed.\n		3. QCD Plasma Instabilities and Isotropization\n		by Yasus
 hi Nara /Univ. Frankfurt\n		We solve the coupled Wong Yang-Mills equations
  for anisotropic particle momentum distributions numerically on a lattice.
  We confirm the existence of plasma instabilities and of exponential growt
 h of the fields which has been discussed previously within the hard loop a
 pproximation. We also rapid isotropization of the particle momenta by defl
 ection in a strong field. This mechanism for isotropization may lead to sm
 aller entropy increase than collisions and multiplication of hard gluons\,
  which is interesting for the phenomenology of high-energy heavy-ion colli
 sions.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka\, Carlos Salgado and Urs Achim WiedemannNot

DESCRIPTION:1. Strangeness and quark-gluon plasmaby J. Rafelski (Uni. of A
 rizona) \n			\n			We explore the role of strangeness in the properties and
  observables of the QGP phase. Chemical over saturation of strangeness deg
 ree of freedom may influence the nature of\, and location of the phase bou
 ndary between deconfined and confined phases. Dynamical calculations of st
 rangeness production tuned to describe RHIC results indicates that this ma
 y occur at LHC. We will further discuss the soft hadron and heavy flavor p

  correlations in pp collisions at sqrt(s) 200 GeV by J. Rak (JYFL/HIP Finl
 and and Univ. of New Mexico USA)\n			\n			The properties of jets produced 
 in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV are measured using the method of two p
 article correlations. The trigger particle is a leading particle from a la
 rge transverse momentum jet while the associated particle comes from eithe
 r the same jet or the away-side jet.\n			The width of the away-side peak i
 s shown to be a convolution of the jet fragmentation transverse momentum j
 _T with the fragmentation variable\, z\, and the partonic transverse momen
 tum\, k_T. The extraction of these quantities from the combined analysis o
 f the single inclusive and trigger associated cross section will be discus

DESCRIPTION:1. Prompt photon production from RHIC to LHC\n			François Arl
 eo / CERN-TH \n			Prompt photon production is a particularly interesting p
 robe of the dense QCD medium formed in heavy-ion collisions at high energy
 . Single-inclusive spectra may indeed reveal whether the quenching measure
 d in the pion sector is due to energy loss effects\, while another excitin
 g possibility would be to tag jet events using high-energy photons. In tha
 t talk\, single-inclusive spectra in p-p and Au-Au collisions at RHIC ener
 gy will first be computed and compared to recent PHENIX measurements. I wi
 ll then present double-inclusive photon-pion spectra and discuss how such 
 photon-tagged correlations can be useful to probe the fragmentation dynami
 cs in nuclear collisions at RHIC. Finally\, photon-photon correlations at 
 the LHC will be presented.2. Direct photon production at RHICStefan Bathe\
 , University of California at Riverside\n			Direct photons do not interact
  strongly with the medium produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions\, 
 which makes them an exceptional observable: at intermediate pT they provid
 e information on the early stage of the collision\; at high pT they consti
 tute a crucial reference for the medium modification of high-pT hadron pro
 duction which has been observed.\n			The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has fou
 nd a significant excess of direct photons above the decay-photon backgroun
 d in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV at both intermediate and high pT.  Furthe
 rmore\, direct photon production in p+p and d+Au collisions has been measu
 red\, allowing a fundamental test of QCD as well as constraining the effec
 ts of cold nuclear matter.  A systematic study of direct photon production
  will be presented and put into the context of theoretical models and earl
 ier measurements.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka and Nicolas BorghiniMore informa

DESCRIPTION:1. Recent HBT measurements by the CERES/NA45 experiment at the

 ions in heavy ion collisions as measured by NA49 at the CERN SPS at 20A-15
 8A GeVby Stefan Kniege / IKF\, Frankfurt\n			\n			Particle interferometry 
 measurements provide insight into the evolution of strongly interacting ma
 tter created in heavy ion collisions. In particular\, within hydrodynamica
 l models the transverse expansion velocity of matter at freeze-out is link
 ed to the correlation lengths between two pions which are measured in expe
 riments. Analysis and correction procedures of two-pion short-range correl
 ations in central Pb+Pb collisions registered by the NA49 detector at 20A\
 , 30A\, 40A\, 80A\, and 158A GeV will be presented. The systematic uncerta
 inties of the measurement will be discussed in detail. The dependence of t
 wo-pion Bose-Einstein correlations on transverse momentum\, rapidity and e
 nergy will be shown and compared with the corresponding results at lower (
 AGS) and higher (RHIC) energies. The data will be interpreted and the free
 ze-out parameters will be extracted using a hydrodynamically-inspired appr
 oach.3. Two particle intensity interferometry in heavy ion collisions as m
 easured by the STAR experimentby Mercedes López Noriega / CERN\n			\n			I
 n relativistic heavy ion collisions\, two particle intensity interferometr
 y (HBT) is a useful tool to study the space-time geometry of the particle 
 emitting source. It also contains dynamical information that can be explor
 ed by studying the transverse momentum dependence of the apparent source s
 ize.\n			I will give an overview of the main HBT results in heavy ion coll
 isions as measured by the STAR experiment at RHIC. I will present the resu
 lts of identical particle correlations in heavy ion collisions at differen
 t energies\, compare them with those from pp and dAu collisions\, and disc
 uss what they tell us about the geometrical and dynamical structure of the
  source at freeze-out. I will then discuss the results from the analysis w
 ith non-identical particles and show how they help us to better understand
  the dynamical evolution of the source.4. UrQMD calculations on pion inter
 ferometryby Qingfeng Li / FIAS\, Frankfurt\n						The pion source at freez
 e-out is investigated with energies from AGS\, SPS\, to RHIC within the Ur
 QMD approach. The CRAB program is employed as a tool to analyze the two-pi
 on interferometry. The calculated transverse momentum\, centrality\, rapid
 ity\, system size\, and beam energy dependence of the HBT radii are reason
 ably well in line with experimental data\, except that the predicted R_O v
 alues in high-energy and central heavy ion collisions are larger as compar
 ed to data. The HBT-puzzle is seen throughout the energies\, which should 
 be analyzed more carefully.5. Buda-Lund hydro model fits to HBT radii and 
 single particle spectra in Pb+Pb collisions at various SPS energiesby Andr
 ás Ster / RMKI/ATKI\, Budapest\n			\n			We present simultaneous Buda-Lund
  hydro model fits to recent NA49 data on dn/dy and transverse momentum dis
 tributions as well as rapidity and transverse mass dependent two-particle 
 Bose-Einstein or HBT correlations as measured in Pb+Pb collisions at SPS e
 nergies of 20\, 30\, 40\, 80 and 158 AGeV.			The excitation function of th
 e mean freeze-out temperature\, the transverse temperature inhomogeneity\,
  the system size\, the mean transverse flow\, the mean freeze-out time and
  the duration of particle emission is determined within the framework of t
 he hydro model at the energy range of CERN SPS.			6. Comparison of particl
 e emission in h+p and Pb+Pb reactions at various SPS energies with p+p and
  Au+Au reactions at RHICby Tamás Csörgö / RMKI\, Budapest\n			\n			This
  talk builds upon the results presented by András Ster in the previous ta
 lk\, as well as on earlier results achieved with the help of the Buda-Lund
  hydro model to analyse the hadronic final states of h+p and Pb+Pb reactio
 ns at various CERN SPS energies\, and p+p and Au+Au reactions at RHIC ener
 gies.\n			We see an indication that the fireball created in Pb+Pb collisio
 ns at CERN SPS has a more homogeneous temperature distribution\, than the 
 fireballs created in p+p and h+p reactions or in Au+Au collisions at RHIC.

DESCRIPTION:1. J/psi production in p+p\, d+A and A+A collisions at sqrt(s_
 NN) = 200 GeV  by the PHENIX experiment at RHICby Hugo Pereira Da Costa (C
 EA\, Saclay)\n		\n			The formation of a quark gluon plasma in ultra relati
 vistic heavy ion collisions  is expected to affect the production of heavy
  quarkonia via competing mechanisms  such as color screening or quark coal
 escence. The PHENIX collaboration at RHIC  has measured the J/psi producti
 on at both forward and mid-rapidity for reference  systems consisting of a
 t least one light nucleus (p+p and d+Au) and for  symmetric heavy systems 
 (Cu+Cu and Au+Au). After a brief description of the  PHENIX apparatus and 
 analysis technique\, the J/psi production yields measured  with the refere
 nce systems are presented as a function of the J/psi transverse  momentum 
 and rapidity. They are extrapolated to the heavy systems using  different 
 approaches\, and compared to the preliminary results obtained with  these 
 systems. A few comparisons to theoretical models are also discussed.2. Per
 spectives for heavy flavour physics in the ALICE detector\n			by Gines Mar
 tinez (Subatech\, Nantes)\n			\n			Heavy flavor production in nucleus nucl
 eus collisions at LHC energies will probe the quark gluon plasma. ALICE co
 mbines electronic\, muonic and hadronic channels for studying heavy flavou
 r production at high and low transverse momentum in Pb+Pb collisions at 5.
 5 TeV. Physics analysis foreseen by the ALICE detector wil be presented.3.
  Heavy quarkonia in ATLASby Laurent Rosselet (CERN)\n		\n			The ATLAS expe
 riment is designed for the study of proton-proton collisions at  the LHC. 
 We report on an evaluation of the ATLAS capabilities to study heavy  quark
 onia in Pb-Pb collisions. Most of the detector subsystems retain their nea
 rly full capability even in the presence of high-multiplicity soft backgro
 und  from nucleus-nucleus collisions. These studies show that upsilon and 
 J/psi  suppression\, which provides crucial information about the formatio
 n of a deconfined state\, is accessible to ATLAS.4. Quarkonia production i
 n heavy-ion collisions with CMS at LHC\nby Bolek Wyslouch\, MITThe observa
 tion of anomalous J/ψ suppression at the CERN-SPS has focussed attention 
 on quarkonia production as an important signature of quark-gluon plasma fo
 rmation. Nuclear collisions with √sNN= 5.5 TeV at the LHC will allow CMS
  to extend the study of the J/ψ suppression pattern to higher energies. F
 urthermore\, studies of the ϒ family may provide a cleaner picture of the
  suppression mechanism. We report the capabilities of the CMS detector to 
 study quarkonia production through the dimuon decay channel. The CMS muon 
 acceptance is broad in the central region\, |η|5. Quarkonia production vi

  expectations from p-p scattering. I discuss the prospects of extracting s
 uch information about the bulk matter distribution and  evolution on the 
 basis of hard hadronic back-to-back correlations. Using both hydrodynamica
 l and parametrized evolution models for the spacetime evolution  of the p
 roduced matter which have been tested against RHIC data I study six differ
 ent setups for the spacetime dependence of hard parton energy losses. I sh
 ow which spacetime regions are probed by one-particle and two-particle obs
 ervables and study the role of longitudinal and transverse expansion in so
 me detail. While current RHIC data are too limited in  momentum coverage\
 , future data for higher trigger energy might provide the lever arm in awa
 y side hadron momentum necessary to perform medium tomography. Especially 
 at LHC\, a huge momentum range can be accessed and should allow to study t
 he medium evolution in some detail.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka and Urs Achim

DESCRIPTION:We celebrate the first 10 years of the HIF seminar serie with 
 three talks:\n10:30-11:15 Hard Probes in Heavy Ion Collisions\n   Nestor A
 rmesto\, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela\, Spain\n \n    The status
  of hard processes as probes of the medium created in an ultrarelativistic
  heavy ion collision\, will be reviewed. I will show the main experimental
  facts\, together with some proposed explanations. I will briefly discuss 
 control processes - photons and dileptons\, and then turn to high transver
 se momentum particles and quarkonium.11:30 - 12:30  The perfect black ink:
  The quark-gluon plasma as seen at RHIC\nBerndt Mueller\, Physics Departme
 nt\, DUKE University\, USA\n\n    My lecture will describe what is now kno
 wn about the properties of strongly interacting matter at the highest acce
 ssible energy densities from experiments. The important pieces of evidence
  include: strong collective flow\, strong quenching of jets\, and characte
 ristic differences in the emission features of mesons and baryons. The mat
 ter produced in nuclear collisions reveals itself as a nearly inviscid flu
 id of extreme SU(3)-color opaqueness. I will also discuss some of the main
  open questions for future experimental and theoretical studies.14:00-15:0
 0 The Color Glass Condensate and the Glasma\n    Larry McLerran\, Nuclear 
 Theory Group\, Brookhaven National Laboratory\, USA\n   \n    I argue that
  the high energy limit of QCD is controlled by high energy density gluonic
  matter characterized by high occupation number per state.  This is the Co
 lor Glass Condensate\, and can be thought of as an ensemble of strong tran
 sverse classical and electromagnetic fields.  Almost instantaneously after
  a collision\, these fields change to purely longitudinal electric and mag
 netic fields which are independent of rapidity.  This Glasma carries topol
 ogical charge\, and generates chiral symmetry breaking.  The fields are un
 stable under small rapidity dependent fluctuations generated by the field 
 theoretical wavefunction at the initial singularity associated with the co
 llision.  Eventually these fields decay into gluons\, and perhaps thermali
 ze into a Quark Gluon Plasma.\n    I show the correspondence of the 'Littl
 e Bang' of hadronic collisions with  Big Bang  cosmology.  I also present 
 some speculations that the distribution of Color Glass Condensate density 
 fluctuations may be generated by two dimensional gravity.\n \n    [This ta

DESCRIPTION:The first few years of RHIC operations produced many spectacul
 ar and unexpected results that turned out to be qualitatively very differe
 nt from earlier expectations. This triggered an unusually high amount of n
 ew theoretical activities\, and many new concepts were put forward to expl
 ain the observed phenomena. As the experiments mature\, data sets become l
 arger and analysis techniques improve\, we are entering an era where the r
 esults become sufficiently accurate to confirm or reject theories and put 
 quantitative limits on the free parameters of the viable ones. Based on me
 asurements of electromagnetic probes in PHENIX we will report on the first
  steps already taken on this long road. We will also discuss how detector 
 upgrades\, to be installed in the near future and the increased luminosity
  of RHIC-II will help to improve the precision of our measurements and\, a
 s a consequence\, improve our understanding of the properties and dynamics
  of the hot\, dense matter created in relativistic heavy ion collisions as
  well of the phase transition itself in which it is formed.Organiser(s): F

DESCRIPTION:Two-particle correlations at low relative velocity probe the s
 pace-time structure of high-energy collisions at the fermi scale. Huge sys
 tematics have been developed over two decades-- both in time and in collis
 ion energy. At RHIC\, these femtoscopic measurements have been explored in
  much greater breadth and detail than was possible in the preceding two de
 cades. By combining high statistics\, large acceptance\, multiple kinetic 
 and entrance-channel cuts\, and particle species combinations\, femtocopy 
 at RHIC has become a precision tool. Furthermore\, the possibility to stud
 y p+p collisions in the same environment - and with the same techniques - 
 as A+A collisions allows direct comparison between these systems for the f
 irst time. I will discuss what we might look for at the LHC\, in the conte
 xt of the past 20 years' worth of systematics.Organiser(s): Yiota Foka\, F

DESCRIPTION:For the first few years of its running\, pQCD techniques appli
 ed to high-pt jets at RHIC were highly successful in explaining the observ
 ed normalization and momentum dependence of jet suppression. However\, the
 re were signs that the picture of a weakly coupled\, perturbatively unders
 tandable QGP was overly naive: the observed intermediate-p_t azimuthal ani
 sotropy was too large\; the number of nonphotonic electrons and the viscos
 ity over entropy ratio too small. Infinitely-coupled super Yang-Mills calc
 ulations have been computed using string theoretic approaches\, first as a
 pplied to the eta/s ratio\, and recently to jet energy loss. Since none of
  the RHIC experiments currently has the ability to discern the charm versu
 s bottom quark contribution to the nonphotonic electron spectrum\, one can
 not distinguish between the possible pQCD versus string theoretic solution
 s to the heavy quark quench puzzle. Nonetheless\, pQCD gives very strong a
 nd specific predictions for the momentum dependence of charm and bottom en
 ergy loss. Deviations from this would point to new physics\, and we provid
 e several possibilities of a different dependence given by string theory c
 alculations. The unique position of the LHC due to both its particle ident
 ification abilities and its enormous momentum reach should permit an obser
 vation of a possible discrepancy within the first year of LHC running.Orga

 charm production\nand to direct thermal photons\, emitted as a blackbody r
 adiation from the\nplasma.\nPHENIX is the only RHIC detector designed to r
 econstruct both electrons\nand muons\, and thus to study dielectron\, dimu
 on\, but also electron-muon\nsignals\, therefore covering a large rapidity
  acceptance.\nPHENIX has measured the dielectron continuum in heavy ion re
 actions at\nsqrt (s_NN)= 200 GeV and compared peripheral collisions\, whic
 h agree well\nto the cocktail of known hadronic sources\, with more centra
 l collisions\,\nwhich show an indication of an enhanced yield in the low m
 ass region. The\nintermediate mass region on the other hand hints at a sup
 pression pattern\nincreasing with centrality which adds additional informa
 tion to the charm\nmedium modifications.\nFirst measurements of p+p reacti
 ons can provide a baseline to constrain\nthe reference and interpret the s
 ignals in heavy ion collisions.\nData from different measurements will be 
 shown and compared to the\nsuperposition of meson decays and theoretical r
 esults on thermal radiation\nfrom pion annihilation in the hot fireball\,

 or causal viscous relativistic hydrodynamics and present 2+1 dimensional v
 iscous hydrodynamic fits to RHIC data for sqrt(s)=200 GeV Au+Au collisions
 . Using Glauber-type initial conditions\, these fits indicate that the rat
 io shear viscosity over entropy density is indeed very small\; taking mini

 an the minimum bound from AdS/CFT is favored. Some caveats of this result 
 are addressed.2. "Recent results on fireball evolution\, hadron spectra an

 . We assume longitudinal\nboost-invariance and solve the equations of moti

 l the space-time evolution\nof the viscous corrections to the energy-momen
 tum tensor and study their\neffects on transverse momentum spectra and ell
 iptic flow for hadrons\nproduced in RHIC collisions. We see unexpectedly s
 trong shear viscosity\neffects on the elliptic flow which is strongly supp
 ressed relative to\nideal fluid dynamics. If our preliminary results hold 
 up to further\nscrutiniy\, RHIC data may require shear viscosity values fo

DESCRIPTION:1. "Early evolution of transversally thermalized partons"\n\n 
      by Wojciech Florkowski (INP Cracow & IF AS Kielce\, Poland)\n\nThe id
 ea that the parton system created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions\n(i
 ) emerges in a state with transverse momenta close to thermodynamic\nequil
 ibrium and (ii) its evolution at early times is dominated by the two-\ndim
 ensional (transverse) hydrodynamics is investigated and shown to be\nconsi
 stent with data. It is argued that this mechanism may help to solve the\nH
 BT puzzle and the problem of early equilibration.\n\nOur conclusions diffe
 r from those obtained earlier by Heinz and Wong. Apart\nfrom certain techn
 ical details\, there are essentially two reasons for this\ndiscrepancy. Fi
 rstly\, we assume that during the evolution the systems obeys\nthe rules o
 f truly two-dimensional thermodynamics. Secondly\, we confront our\nresult
 s on v2 with the experimental data\, whereas Heinz and Wong made a\ncompar
 ison with earlier three-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations.\n\n\n\n\n\n
 \n\n2. "Elliptic flow from a transversally thermalized fireball"\n\n     U
 lrich Heinz (CERN & Ohio State University)\n\nThe agreement of elliptic fl
 ow data at RHIC at central rapidity\nwith the hydrodynamic model has led t
 o the conclusion of very rapid\nthermalization. This conclusion is based o
 n the intuitive argument that\nhydrodynamics\, which assumes instantaneous
  local thermalization\, produces\nthe largest possible elliptic flow value
 s and that the data seem to\nsaturate this limit. In 2002\, S.M.H. Wong an
 d I investigated the question\nwhether incompletely thermalized viscous sy
 stems may actually produce more\nelliptic flow than ideal hydrodynamics. M
 otivated by the extremely fast\nprimordial longitudinal expansion of the r
 eaction zone\, we studied a toy\nmodel which exhibits thermalization only 
 in the transverse directions but\nundergoes collisionless free-streaming e
 xpansion in the longitudinal\ndirection. For collisions at RHIC energies\,
  elliptic flow results from the\nmodel were compared with those from hydro
 dynamics. Our important\nconclusion\, believed to be generic\, was that\, 
 with the final particle\nyield and k_T-distribution fixed\, the transversa
 lly thermalized model was\nnot able to produce the measured amount of elli
 ptic flow. I will report on\nthis work\, point out differences with the re
 cent paper by Bialas\,\nChojnacki and Florkowski who come to different con
 clusions\, and also tie\nour 2002 result to recent findings that viscous h
 ydrodynamics generically\nproduces less elliptic flow than ideal fluid dyn
 amics.\n\n\nMore information: http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/static/HIF/welcome.

DESCRIPTION:1. Jets and PDFs at the LHC heavy-ion collisions\n\n   by Carl
 os Albert Salgado Lopez  (Santiago de Compostela)\n\nRHIC experiments have
  established jet quenching as a fundamental tool in the study of hot matte
 r in heavy-ion collisions. The energy reached is enough for high-pt inclus
 ive particle studies and two- or three-particle correlations. The main qua
 litative improvement of these studies at the LHC will be the possibility t
 o study reconstructed jets and their corresponding medium-induced modifica
 tion of their properties. The theoretical implementation of the effects\, 
 very successful for the inclusive quantities at RHIC\, need to be improved
  to describe these less inclusive observables. I will review the recent pr
 oposals in this direction and\, in particular\, our own implementation of 
 medium-effects in the parton shower of Monte Carlo codes as PYTHIA and HER
 WIG. On the other hand\, a good knowledge of the nuclear PDFs is essential
  for the phenomenology of jet quenching and other hard probes. A brief rev
 iew of the latest global fits will be presented.2. Jet physics in heavy-io

 sqrt{s_{\\rm NN}}=5.5$~TeV available\, the cross sections for rare probes 
 increase dramatically. The CMS detector will collect large event samples\,

DESCRIPTION:Direct single electrons in pp collisions were discovered by th
 e CERN-Columbia-Rockefeller-Saclay Collaboration at the CERN-ISR in 1974 (
 before the discovery of the J/Psi) and shown by Hinchliffe and Llewellyn S
 mith in 1976 to be the result of the production and decay of charm particl
 es. This technique was used at RHIC to measure the production of the heavy
  c and b quarks and their suppression  in Au+Au collisions at the same lev
 el as pizeroes from light quarks and gluons. This dramatic and unexpected 
 result is incompatible with the most likely explanation of suppression as 
 due to radiational energy loss. Zichichi has suggested that ``since the or
 igin of the quark masses is still not known\, it cannot be excluded that i
 n a QCD coloured world (QGP)\, the six quarks are all nearly massless''. S
 ince the Yukawa coupling of the Higgs Boson to Fermions is not a key featu
 re of the standard model\, but is put in by hand\, massless b and c quarks
  in a QGP are not necessarily excluded and would be the simplest way to ex
 plain the apparent equality of light and heavy quark suppression in Heavy 
 Ion Collisions. Forthcoming precision measurements of light and heavy quar
 k energy loss in A+A collisions at RHIC and LHC should confirm in detail (
 or falsify) whether the different flavors of quarks behave as if they have
  the same mass in a color-charged medium\, which would be a unique contrib
 ution of Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics at a fundamental level to the stan
 dard model.\n\nTitle: Heavy Ion Forum\nDescription: Heavy Ion Forum\, U. W

DESCRIPTION:1. The horn and the unreasonable success of the thermal model\
 n   by Johanna Stachel\nAbstract\nWe present\, using the statistical model
 \, a new analysis of hadron production in central collisions of heavy nucl
 ei. This study is motivated by the availability of final measurements both
  for the SPS (beam energies 20-160 AGeV) and for the RHIC energies (sqrt(s
 NN) =130 and 200 GeV) and by updates in the hadron mass spectrum\, which i
 s a crucial input for statistical models. Extending previous studies by in
 clusion of very high-mass resonances (m> 2 GeV)\, and the up-to-now neglec
 ted scalar meson leads to an improved description of the data. In particul
 ar\, the hitherto poorly reproduced energy dependence of the K+/pi+ ratio 
 at SPS energies is now well described through the connection to the hadron
 ic mass spectrum and\, implicitly\, Hagedorn'sYs limiting temperatur e.We 
 thereby demonstrate the intimate connection between the horn and the QCD p
 hase transition.\n\n2. What happens at the transition from baryonic to mes
 onic freeze out?\n   by Helmut Oeschler\nAbstract\nThe statistical model a
 ssuming chemical equilibrium describes most of the observed  features of s
 trange particle production from SIS up to RHIC. Deviations are found as th
 e maximum in the measured K+/pi+ ratio as a function of sqrt(s) is much sh
 arper than in the model calculations. At the location of the maximum (sqrt
 (s) = 7 - 8 GeV)\, the statistical model shows that the freeze out changes
  regime from being dominated by baryons at the lower energies toward one b
 eing dominated by mesons. It will be shown how deviations from the usual f
 reeze-out curve might influence the various particle ratios. Furthermore\,
  other observables exhibit also changes just in this energy regime.\n\n3. 
 Centrality dependence of observables in HI reactions - more than a core-co
 rona effect ?\n   by Joerg Aichelin\nAbstract\nStrangeness enhancement in 
 heavy ion collisions is since long a highly debated subject.\nBased on the
  results of one of the event generators (EPOS) we have proposed a very sim
 ple model which describes the centrality dependence of the multiplicities 
 of all measured hadrons from SPS to RHIC energies among those that of (mul
 ti)strange baryons.\nThe idea behind is that only a fraction of the collid
 ing nucleons form an equilibrated source (core) whereas others (corona) sc
 atter only once and disintegrate like in a pp collisions. The core/corona 
 fraction depends on energy and centrality and can be calculated in a Glaub
 er model. Recently we have shown that also the centrality dedependence of 
 kinetical variables are well described in this model\, among those  the ce
 ntrality dependence of the elliptic flow v2. This rises the question wheth
 er this dependence allows for determination of the viscosity of the QGP as
  proposed by different hydro groups.\n***********************************\

DESCRIPTION:Azimuthally sensitive HBT interferometry can complement ellipt
 ic flow measurements by constraining the spatial deformation of the source
  and its time evolution. Performing these measurements on photons allows u
 s to access the fireball evolution at earlier times than with hadrons.\nUs
 ing ideal hydrodynamics to model the space-time evolution of the collision
  fireball\, we explore theoretically various aspects of 2-photon intensity
  interferometry with transverse momenta up to 2 GeV\, in particular the az
 imuthal angle dependence of the HBT radii in non-central collisions. We fi
 nd interesting differences in the structure of the photon correlation func
 tion when compared to that of hadrons\, caused by the masslessness of the 
 photon. We highlight the dual nature of thermal photon emission\, in both 
 central and non-central collisions\, resulting from the superposition of Q
 GP and hadron resonance gas photon production. This signature is present i
 n both the thermal photon source function and the HBT radii extracted from
  Gaussian fits of the 2-photon correlation function. We find that the azim
 uthal oscillation amplitude of the sideward HBT radius for photons tracks 
 the source eccentricity not only at KT=0 (as is the case for pions)\, but 
 for all KT. This allows to reconstruct the time-evolution of the source ec
 centricity from the KT-dependence of the sideward oscillation amplitude.\n

DESCRIPTION:Presentation 1:Transport coefficients of the "perfect fluid" c
 reated in RHIC colisions\nThere is now compelling evidence that the Quark 
 Gluon Plasma (QGP) is produced in a rapid crossover phase transition in he
 avy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). A primar
 y focus of current RHIC efforts is centered on quantitative estimates of t
 he transport coefficients of the QGP\, as well as the question of whether 
 or not it is strongly or weakly coupled. I will present new state-of-the-a
 rt scaling techniques which not only provide definitive constraints crucia
 l for accurate estimates of the sound speed (c_s)\, mean free path (\\lamb
 da)\, viscosity (\\eta/s)\, stopping power (q_{hat})\, etc\, but also show
  that the QGP created in RHIC collisions is strongly coupled. I will also 
 discuss a few implications for the CERN heavy ion programs (both low and h
 igh energy).\n\nPresentation 2: Fireball fragmentation and the Kolmogorov-
 Smirnov test\nIn the first half of this talk I shall argue that because of
  the rapid expansion in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions the fireball 
 could fragment into smaller pieces when passing the phase transition. In c
 ase of first-order phase transition this is the process known as spinodal 
 decomposition which is widely known in general physics and even finds tech
 nological applications. At the crossover\, fragmentation can occur owing t
 o sudden appearance of large bulk viscosity.\nThe second half of the talk 
 will be devoted to a novel technique which can be used to identify the fra
 gmentation. It is based on massive use of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and 
 appears to be more sensitive than other conventional methods.\n\nEVO confe

DESCRIPTION:A scaling law analysis of  the world data on inclusive large-$
 p_\\perp$ single hadron production in hadronic collisions is carried out. 
 A significant deviation from leading-twist perturbative QCD predictions at
  next-to-leading order is reported. The observed discrepancy is largest at
  high values of $x_\\perp=2p_\\perp/\\sqrts$. In contrast\, the production
  of prompt photons and jets exhibits  fixed $x_\\perp$ scaling behavior cl
 ose to the conformal limit\, in agreement with the leading-twist expectati
 on. These results bring evidence for a non-negligible contribution of high
 er-twist processes in large-$p_\\perp$ hadron production in hadronic colli
 sions where the hadron is produced directly in the hard subprocess rather 
 than by gluon or quark jet fragmentation. Phenomenological consequences fo
 r RHIC and LHC are discussed in detail.\n\nEVO booking information:\nTitle

DESCRIPTION:We perform a systematic comparison of the statistical parametr
 ization of hadron abundances observed in high energy  p-p\, A-A  and  e^+e
 ^- collisions. The basic aim of the study is to test if the quality of the
  description depends on the nature of the collision process. In particular
 \, we want to see if nuclear collisions\, with multiple initial interactio
 ns\, lead to ``more thermal'' average multiplicities than elementary p-p  
 collisions or  e^+e^-  annihilation. Such a comparison is meaningful only 
 if it is based on data for the same or similar hadronic species and if the
  analyzed data has quantitatively similar errors. When these requirements 
 are maintained\, the quality of the statistical description is found to be
  the same for the different initial collision configurations.\n\n* Joint w

DESCRIPTION:Description:\nThe PHENIX experiment at RHIC has measured elect
 ron-positron pairs from various collision systems. Comparing dilepton data
  from AuAu to pp collisions revealed two striking features: (i) a large ex
 cess of the dilepton yield at low mass and low pt in central AuAu and (ii)
  a significant enhancement of direct real photon radiation. Both features 
 can be interpreted as radiation from the hot quark matter produced at RHIC
 . Unlike at lower beam energies\, at RHIC the contribution from the hot ha
 dronic phase alone seems insufficient to account for the data. This would 
 suggests large a contribution from a partonic phase. Data analysis\, exper
 imental results and comparison to theoretical models will be presented.\n\

  parameter  $Z\\alpha$ is not small ($Z\\alpha \\approx 0.6$ for Au-Au and
  Pb-Pb collisions)\, the whole series in $Z\\alpha$ has to be summed in or
 der to obtain the cross section with sufficient accuracy. For the producti
 on of $e^+e^-$ and $\\mu^+\\mu^-$ pairs we present new results related to 
 the Coulomb corrections (corresponding to multi-photon exchange of the pro
 duced leptons with the nuclei) and to the unitarity corrections (correspon
 ding to the exchange of light-by-light blocks between nuclei). For nuclear
  bremsstrahlung we calculated the unitarity corrections and a special case
  related to the virtual Delbr\\"uck scattering.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/c

 limit\, analytic expressions for the Langevin diffusion and friction coeff
 icients are obtained in terms of the bulk string metric. Modified Einstein
  relations between these quantities are also derived. The spectral densiti
 es associated to the Langevin correlators are analyzed\, and simple analyt

DESCRIPTION:\nWe calculate medium photons due to Compton and annihilation 
 processes in an anisotropic media. The effects of time-dependent momentum-
 space anisotropy of Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) on the medium photon producti
 on are discussed. Such an anisotropy can results from the initial rapid lo
 ngitudinal expansion of the matter\, created in relativistic heavy ion col
 lisions. A phenomenological model for the time-dependence of the parton ha
 rd momentum scale\, $p_{hard}(\\tau)$\, and anisotropy parameter\, $\\xi(\
 \tau)$\, has been used to describe the plasma space-time evolution. We fin
 d significant dependency of photon yield on the isotropization time ($\\ta
 u_{iso}$). It is shown that the introduction of early time momentum-space 
 anisotropy can enhance the photon production by a factor of $10~(1.5)$ (in
  the central rapidity region) for free streaming (collisionally-broadened)
  interpolating model if we assume fixed initial condition. On the other ha
 nd\, enforcing the fixed final multiplicity significantly reduces the enha
 ncement of medium photon production.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDi

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The transverse momentum (kt) distribution and the tw
 o-particle correlations inside gluon and quark jets produced at high energ
 y colliders\, are computed within the NLO Modified Leading Logarithmic App
 roximation (MLLA) at small energy fraction of the outgoing partons.\nNext-
 to-MLLA corrections which better account for energy conservation at each s
 tep of the cascading process has been incorporated\, such that the agreeme
 nt of our predictions for kt-distributions with CDF data is very good as c
 ompared with MLLA. The two-particle correlations are obtained from the exa
 ct solution of QCD evolution equations and the agreement with the OPAL dat
 a was improved as compared with previous approaches. In both cases\, the r
 ole of hadronization is modelled from Local Parton-Hadron Duality (LPHD) h
 ypothesis\, signaling better agreement with the data in the case of less i
 nclusive observables. The internal structure of jets and QCD color coheren
 ce leading to QCD evolution equations will be discussed in the seminar. Fi
 nally\, inclusive hadronic observables are potential candidates to be meas
 ured and tested in hard processes at the LHC.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/con

DESCRIPTION:The spectrum of hadrons is intimately related to the structure
  of the QCD vacuum which is filled with quark and gluon condensates. Thus\
 , upon heating the vacuum\, a melting of the condensates is bound to induc
 e medium modifications of the hadronic spectrum\, ultimately leading to th
 e formation of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Dilepton invariant-mass spect
 ra are the only known observable in high-energy heavy-ion collisions which
  enable a direct access to medium modifications of a hadronic spectral fun
 ction (in the vector channel). In particular\, thermal radiation of low-ma
 ss dileptons (M<1.5GeV) has long been regarded as the most promising tool 
 to ``detect" the melting of the chiral quark condensate (or ``chiral symme
 try restoration")\, through the modifications of the light vector mesons (
 rho\, omega\, phi). We discuss recent progress in this endeavor\, includin
 g the use of sum rules to connect order parameters from lattice QCD with e
 ffective hadronic theory\, and the interpretation of recent measurements o
 f a (surprisingly?) large elliptic flow in photon radiation.  \n\nhttp://

DESCRIPTION:As a first step towards understanding the physics of jet modif
 ications in heavy-ion collisions\, we analyze the radiation off a QCD ante
 nna propagating through a quark-gluon plasma. The resulting spectrum is ch
 aracterized in terms of the hardest scale of the problem. We show that thi
 s scale is either 1) the inverse size of the antenna as probed by the medi
 um or 2) the maximal momentum transfer from the medium\, given by the satu
 ration scale of the QGP. In the former case\, called the ``dipole" regime\
 , the antenna preserves its color correlation during the passage through t
 he QGP and radiates coherently. In the latter situation\, called the ``dec
 oherence" regime\, which applies to the case of a dense medium\, the anten
 na constituents de-cohere rapidly and the resulting spectrum is predominan
 tly the superposition of the independent spectra off the two components. I
 n both cases\, however\, vacuum coherence is restored for gluons emitted w
 ith transverse momenta larger than the hard scale of the associated regime
 . We explore the typical timescales relevant for emissions in both cases a
 nd discuss shortly about the implications for multi-gluon emissions in the
  QGP\, relevant for jet studies in heavy-ion collisions.\nReferences\nY. M

DESCRIPTION:I show that all hadron yields measured by the ALICE collaborat
 ion in Pb--Pb collisions at $\\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76\\TeV$ are well described 
 within the chemical non-equilibrium statistical hadronization model (SHM).
  Model parameters are obtained as function of geometric centrality of coll
 iding ions. We predict yields of unobserved hadrons\, and anti-matter prod
 uction at the LHC. The physical properties of the quark-gluon plasma fireb
 all particle source are obtained and analyzed.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/co

DESCRIPTION:We give an overview over new applications of gauge/gravity\, i
 n particular to systems in which a rho meson condensate forms. This can ha
 ppen both at finite isospin density or in an external magnetic field. We d
 iscuss the hydrodynamic properties of these spatially anisotropic systems\
 , in which the shear viscosity becomes a tensor. The non-helicity-two comp
 onents of this tensor are non-universal and temperature dependent at leadi
 ng order in N and lambda\, while preserving the 1/4 pi bound. -- For the e
 xternal B field\, the rho meson condensate is spatially modulated\, formin
 g a triangular lattice. This is similar to recent results found using effe
 ctive field theory and lattice calculations.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conf

SUMMARY:The Tsallis function and its applications

DESCRIPTION:The Tsallis distribution was introduced in 1988 by Constantin 
 Tsallis and has been used in many fields of physics. It has been widely us
 ed in high energy physics by the large experimental collaborations (PHENIX
 \, STAR\, ALICE\, ATLAS\, CMS\, ...) mainly to describe transverse momentu
 m distributions. Despite this\, it has not received much attention from th
 e theoretical high energy physics community. In this talk we will present 
 a short review of the Tsallis distribution focusing on the use in high ene
 rgy physics. A proposal will be considered to bring consistency to the val
 ues of the Tsallis parameter q and the corresponding temperature T.\n\nhtt

SUMMARY:Shear viscosity of a hadron resonance gas

DESCRIPTION:Shear viscosity $\\eta$ and entropy density $s$ of a hadronic 
 resonance gas are calculated consistently using the Chapman-Enskog and vir
 ial expansion methods using the $K$-matrix parameterization of hadronic cr
 oss sections which preserves the unitarity of the $T$-matrix. In the $\\pi
 -K-N-\\eta$ mixture considered\, a total of 55 resonances up to 2 GeV were
  included. Comparisons are also made to results with other hadronic cross 
 sections such as the Breit-Wigner (BW) and\, where available\, experimenta
 l phase shift parameterizations. The BW parameterization fails to preserve
  unitarity of the $T-$matrix for nearby resonances\, whereas experimental 
 phase shifts are not available for all resonances considered. Hadronic int
 eractions forming resonances are shown to decrease the shear viscosity  a
 nd increase the entropy density leading to a substantial reduction of $\\e
 ta/s$ as the QCD phase transition temperature is approached.\n\nhttp://ind
