Mariola Klusek-Gawenda (Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences)

This workshop is financed by ExtreMe Matter Institute EMMI of the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research.

 

The EMMI workshop New Vistas in Photon Physics in Heavy-Ion Collisions will be hosted  
by the Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences and AGH University of Science and Technology, Kraków, Poland.

Date:

• student day: Monday September 19, 2022,
• workshop: Tuesday, September 20 - Thursday, September 22, 2022.

This workshop focuses on aspects of photo-induced processes, as well as on real and virtual photo-emission in heavy-ion collisions at the energies of RHIC and the LHC.

Scientific topics:

• The physics of strong electromagnetic fields
• $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow \gamma\gamma$ scattering in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions
• Photoproduction of pseudoscalar $\pi^{0}, \eta, \eta'$ mesons, and of tensor $f_{2}$(1270) and other mesons
• Photoproduction of continuum pion and kaon pairs
• Multiple photoproduction of $\rho^{0}$ mesons
• Production and measurements of photons in semi-central heavy-ion collisions
• Electromagnetic radiation from the Quark-Gluon Plasma
• Photo-nuclear processes as probes of gluon distribution in nuclei

Main organizers:

• Iwona Grabowska-Bołd, AGH University of Science and Technology, Kraków
• Mariola Kłusek-Gawenda, Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN, Kraków
• Rainer Schicker, Physikalisches Institut Ruprecht-Karls Universität Heidelberg
• Antoni Szczurek, Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN, Kraków
  and College of Natural Sciences, Institute of Physics, University of Rzeszów
• Małgorzata Niewiara and Olga Sułek-Zarosińska (secretariat), Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN, Kraków
