      Jets, new opportunities 1h

      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 1h

      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)

      Heavy Quarks 1h

      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 1h

      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 1h

      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))

      Opportunities arising from combined measurements at RHIC and LHC 1h

      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

      e-ion 1h

      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.
