Description

 This month LHC physics day will review the status of preparations towards the first heavy ion run at the LHC, foreseen for November 2010. The review will cover the status of the accelerator, of the experiments, and the theoretical/phenomenological perspective. 

 

This meeting is also part of the 4-week long TH Institute 'The first heavy ion collisions at the LHC - HIC10':

The meeting will be broadcast via EVO (detailed info will appear at the time of the meeting in the "Video Services" item on the left menu bar)

For those attending, information on accommodation, access to CERN and laptop registration is available from http://cern.ch/lpcc/visits

      Exploration of Hot QCD Matter: The Next Decade 50m TH Theory Conference Room

      CERN
      Since the year 2000, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has explored the properties of hot QCD matter in an energy regime where hard QCD probes and ab-initio calculations are available. The results from RHIC have led to a dramatic revision of our notion of the quark-gluon plasma as a strongly coupled, nearly inviscid liquid highly opaque to probes carrying open color, i.e. quarks and gluons). However, many details of this new picture remain fuzzy. My lecture will give a preview of the opportunities opened up by the LHC, the RHIC upgrades, and theoretical advances during the next decade to answer some of the many remaining questions about the physics of hot QCD matter.
