Saturday 11 February

17:00 → 19:00 Welcome and definition of the scope and organization of the meeting

19:00 → 19:20 Dinner

Sunday 12 February

08:00 → 09:00 Breakfast

09:00 → 10:00 Jets, new opportunities

Many qualitatively novel jet measurements are currently explored by experimentalists and by theorists. What are the opportunities for fundamental progress and how do we make best use of them?

Speakers: Abhijit Majumder (Wayne state university), Guilherme Teixeira De Almeida Milhano (LIP-Lisbon & CERN TH)

10:25 → 11:25 Jet-medium interactions

All interpretations of jet quenching rely on strong jet-medium interactions. However, experimental characterizations of how the medium responds to jet propagation remain ephemeral to date. What are perspectives for substantial progress?

Speakers: Dr Andreas Morsch (CERN), Eero Aleksi Kurkela (CERN)

12:00 → 13:30 Lunch

14:00 → 15:00 Heavy Quarks

Significant detector upgrades at LHC aim at a better characterization of heavy quark propagation and fragmentation/hadronization in hot and dense QCD matter. What is needed to make full use of these opportunities at the LHC? How can sPhenix contribute in the coming years

Speakers: Federico Antinori (Universita e INFN, Padova (IT)), James Lawrence Nagle (University of Copenhagen (DK))

15:45 → 16:45 Quarkonia

What are the perspectives for going on the experimental and on the theoretical side beyond the current state of the art?

Speakers: Dmitri Kharzeev, Dmitri Kharzeev (Stony Brook U./BNL), Dr Gines Martinez-Garcia (Subatech CNRS), Roberta Arnaldi (Universita e INFN Torino (IT)), Yen-Jie Lee (Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (US))

17:20 → 18:20 Electromagnetic probes

From thermal radiation to dilepton pairs to triggering of the energy of recoiling jets, electromagnetic probes play an important role in our thinking of how to best characterize hot and dense QCD matter. However, at hadron colliders, we are still far from realizing the potential opportunities arising from these probes. What is needed?

Speakers: Prof. Charles Gale (McGill University), Eero Aleksi Kurkela (CERN), Peter Alan Steinberg (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))

19:00 → 20:00 dinner

Monday 13 February

07:30 → 08:30 Breakfast

08:45 → 09:45 Opportunities arising from combined measurements at RHIC and LHC

Many qualitatively novel jet measurements are currently explored by experimentalists and by theorists. What are the opportunities for fundamental progress and how do we make best use of them?
In the mid-term future, data from sPhenix and future measurements at LHC will allow for comparative studies of hard processes acros

Speakers: Gunther Roland (Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (US)), James Lawrence Nagle (University of Copenhagen (DK)), Thomas Ullrich (Yale University (US))

09:45 → 10:45 e-ion

How measurements at an electron-ion collider could inform our understanding of relativistic heavy ion collisions. Connection between the EIC and the RHIC and LHC heavy ion programs.

Speakers: Berndt Mueller (Duke University), Peter Alan Steinberg (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))
