The purpose of the workshop on advances in QCD and forward physics at the LHC and the EIC is to stimulate discussions between experimentalists and theorists in photon exxchanges and beyond standard model physics, diffractive hadronic physics, QCD dynamics at low-x, parton saturation and exciting problems in QCD at the Tevatron, LHC, RHIC and the future EIC.
 

The conference venue will be at CBPF, Rio de Janeiro, from November 9 in the evening (date of arrival) to November 15 in the evening Please register as soon as possible since this is still a highly touristic region.

Please note that you might receive a mail from ops@travellerpoint.org about the hotel reservation, THIS IS A SPAM AND DO NOT ANSWER THEM!!!!!

The registration fees will be about 400 US dollars for participants of the workshop, and 125 US dollars for companions. The fees cover the conference room, all coffee breaks, the workshop dinner, two welcome drinks. Reduced fees of respectively 250 US dollars and 125 US dollars will be available on requests for participants from Latin America and students. The 125 US dollar fees will not cover the workshop dinner which can be purchased separately. The fees can be paid by bank transfer and the bank reference will be anounced soon.

An optional tour of Rio will be proposed on Friday afternoon for people interested.

In addition, a post-conference tour to Paraty, a UNESCO heritage list colonial city, will be proposed after the workshop. We will spend two nights in Paraty to visit the city and there will be a boat tour included in the tropical islands close to Paraty.


This workshop is part of a series of workshops related to the LHC Forward Physics Working Group at CERN that took place at CERN, Switzerland in 2019, 2020, 2024,  Madrid, Spain, in 2017, Trento, Italy, in 2022, Bad Honef, Germany in 2023.

 

The Workshop is organized and sponsored by FAPESP, FAPERJ, The University of Kansas, ExtreMe Matter Institute at GSI (EMMI), Stony Brook University and CERN.
