EDS'09: 13th International Conference on Elastic & Diffractive Scattering

Scientific Programme

• Overview

  The workshop aims at discussing the physics of high-energy hadronic interactions focusing on: elastic and total hadron-hadron cross sections, soft and hard diffractive collisions, central-exclusive processes, photon-induced collisions, low-x QCD and heavy-ions, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.

• Organization

  Talks and discussions, both experimental and theoretical, will be organized around the following sessions:
  1. status of LHC (1/4 day)
  2. elastic and total scattering (1/2 day)
  3. soft diffraction (1/2 day)
  4. hard diffraction (1/2 day)
  5. central exclusive production & new physics with rapidity gaps (1/4 or 1/2 day)
  6. discussion session on experimental techniques in forward physics (1/2 day)
  7. low-x QCD & heavy-ions (1/2 day)
  8. photon-induced physics (1/4 day)
  9. cosmic-rays (1/4 day)

• The conference agenda is now full. No further contributions can be accepted.
