Forward Physics at RHIC and LHC

22 Oct 2004, 07:30 → 23 Oct 2004, 11:35 Europe/Zurich

Eldridge Hotel, Lawrence Kansas

Michael Murray (Department of Physics)

The meeting will discuss the opportunies to make decisive measurements in the forward region at RHIC and LHC

Friday 22 October

07:30 → 14:15 Color Glass Condensate?

"The next few years should be very exciting, but also require much effort on the part of theorists and experimentalists to be more quantitative in their studies and in the expectations of what physics can be gained as we pass out of the initial exploratory phase"

Saturday 23 October

07:30 → 11:35 Towards Definitive Measurements

"The physics topic of deuteron-gold reactions is an important topic to pursue at RHIC. It is essential however to expand the capabilities of the existing detectors beyond single inclusive measurements and also to further define focused physics goals. However, difficult decisions may need to be made concerning long deuteron-gold (or preferably proton-gold) studies weighed against continued spin development and detector upgrade funding."
