II WORKSHOP ON DIFFRACTIVE PHYSICS AT THE LHC

21 Sept 2011, 09:00 → 23 Sept 2011, 18:00 America/Sao_Paulo

CBPF - Rio de Janeiro

Emerson Luna

This workshop aims at instigating discussions and future work between experimenters and theorists, working on diffractive physics at the RHIC and LHC. Participants at the meeting will come from both theory and experiment, and we anticipate lively discussion on the diffractive signatures and the potential for discoveries with RHIC and LHC data.
