I have been asked by Wit Busza to forward the following information on the 2002 Gordon conferecne /fv > > MESSAGE FROM CHAIR OF 2001 GORDON CONFERENCE IN NUCLEAR PHYSICS > > > I have been asked to organize this year's Gordon Conference on Nuclear > Physics. > > In view of all the new and exciting results from heavy ion collisions at > relativistic energies, I have decided that it will be an ideal time to come > to grips with the question "what have we learnt and what can we can hope to > learn about QCD from a study of heavy ion collisions". > > This will be the main theme of the 2001 Gordon Conference in Nuclear > Physics, and judging by the list of speakers who have already agreed to > come, it promises to be a very exciting meeting indeed. > > There is room for, at most, 135 participants. I would like to encourage you > to apply to come to this meeting. Whether you can come or not, please pass > the message about this conference to your colleagues. > I am hoping that a significant number of students and post docs attend. I > have a small amount of discretionary funds. I plan to use the funds to > support as many as possible of those students and post docs who would not > otherwise be able to attend. If you wish to be considered for such support, > please send me by e-mail your CV and one brief letter of support from your > advisor or research leader. Please ask for support (it can be for partial > support) only if you cannot find another source of funding. I will not be > able to contribute funds for travel expenses. > > If you are not familiar with the Gordon Conferences you can find > information about them at http://www.grc.uri.edu/. > Information about this particular conference and how to register can be > found at http://www.grc.uri.edu/programs/2001/nucphys.htm. > > > Here are some details about this particular Gordon Conference: > > PLACE: Salve Regina University > Newport, RI > It is a lovely location overlooking the ocean, next to the > famous turn-of-the-century mansions of Newport. > > TIME: 6pm on Sunday July 22 - breakfast on Friday July 27. The rules of the > Gordon Conferences state that everybody is expected to participate for the > entire duration of the conference. > > TOTAL COST (accommodation and food): about $650 depending on when you > register and whether you have a single or double room. > > > TITLE OF CONFERENCE: "QCD in Extreme Conditions: High Temperature, High > Density and small-x". > > The Gordon Conferences are not ordinary conferences. There are no > proceedings and results presented cannot be quoted.The idea is to create an > informal atmosphere with lots of discussion, and where participants feel > free to express their ideas, even if not fully developed. > > > Program (as yet not complete): > > >From a theoretical perspective: > > Frank Wilczek (title TBA) > Krishna Rajagopal: How can we determine the QCD phase diagram? > Edwin Laermann (to be confirmed): What have we learnt about QCD > thermodynamics from lattice guage theory > Raju Venugopalan: What is it about the structure of hadrons at low-x that > makes them relevant and interesting > Dam Son: thermalization > Dirk Rischke: collective space-time evolution. > Urs Wiedemann: From first principles of QCD what do we know about parton > energy loss > Xin-Nian Wang: Jet Quenching in High-energy Heavy-ion Collisions: A > Theoretical Perspective > Jianwei Qiu: Medium modification of hadrons.
