FYI (I guess it also indicates, the not so well hidden secret of MIT/PHOBOS wanting to go to LHC next) ------------------------------------------------------ Flemming Videbaek Physics Department Brookhaven National Laboratory tlf: 631-344-4106 fax 631-344-1334 e-mail: videbaek@bnl.gov ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bolek Wyslouch" <wyslouch@MIT.EDU> To: "Bill Zajc" <zajc@columbia.edu>; "Fleming Videbaek" <videbaek@bnl.gov>; "John Harris" <harris@star.physics.yale.edu>; "Wit Busza" <busza@MIT.EDU> Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 2:57 PM Subject: CMS heavy ion workshop at MIT > Dear RHIC spokesmen, > > We are planning to hold a 2 day workshop at MIT to discuss the opportunities of > doing heavy ion physics with CMS detector at CERN in February 2002. CMS offers > quite unique opportunities for heavy ion physics at energies much higher than > RHIC by using equipment planned and constructed for pp physics. CMS is > planning to operate during LHC heavy ion runs starting in 2007. CMS can provide > an ideal place to explore high energy extension of RHIC physics. We would like > to invite the members of your collaborations to help us plan this activity. I > would greatly appreciate if you could forward the following announcement to your > experiment's mailing lists. > > The announcement and the subsequent agendas and travel instructions will be > posted starting from we site: > > http://bolek.lns.mit.edu/cmshi.htm > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ > ------------------------ > > Workshop on Heavy Ion Physics with the Compact Muon Spectrometer (CMS) at the > Large Hadron Collider at CERN > The 6th CMS Heavy Ion Workshop will take place in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA > on February 8-9, 2002. The meeting will be hosted by the Laboratory for Nuclear > Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. > > Scientific Program > The CMS experiment presently under construction at CERN has plans to operate > during the heavy ion runs at LHC. Even though it was designed primarily as a > proton-proton experiment, it has extensive and unique capabilities to study > heavy ion physics. The workshop will provide a forum to discuss the physics and > capabilities of the detector. > > The following topics will be covered: > > Theoretical progress in understanding hadronic matter under extreme conditions. > Recent results in heavy ion collisions from RHIC and SPS. > Overview and status of the LHC complex, accelerator and the experiments related > to the heavy ion physics. > Heavy ion physics with CMS: global event characterization, hard probes, non-QGP > physics and pA interactions. > CMS detector performance in the heavy ion environment. > Software and computing for heavy ions at LHC. > The deadline for abstract submission is December 15, 2001. > Registration > The workshop will take place on MIT campus, during classes. It is important for > the organizing committee to have an estimate of the number of participants and > what facilities might be needed. Please send an e-mail to the workshop secretary > Anna Maria Convertino (amc@mit.edu) as soon as possible if you intend to > participate. > Web links with information about the program, travel and lodging will be added > shortly. > > Organizing Committee > Marc Bedjidian (IPN, Lyon) > Olga Kodolova (Moscow State) > Ramona Vogt (LBNL, Berkeley and UC Davis) > Bolek Wyslouch (MIT) > Pablo Yepes (Rice) > Secretary: Anna Maria Convertino (MIT) > > Advisory Committee > Billy E.
