Dear Colaborators

I and some of you may hae received the call for this workshop at end of
February.
II will encouarge that Brahms people participate in the workshop. If you
are interested please send me a short note with intended subject, and I
coordinate our contributions. I would like to have these in hand within 2
weeks i.e. December 20

regards
       Flemming

Dear Colleagues,

We are currently in the process of organizing a 3-day workshop on
transverse distributions obtained in collisions at RHIC. The workshop
will focus on recent RHIC data with particular emphasis on the
transverse momentum distributions of identified particles, the nuclear
modification factor R_AA, and the anisotropy (v2) and asymmetry of
angular correlations obtained with high pt hadrons.

   Recent experimental results from the first two years at RHIC have
provided a wealth of new information along with many surprises and
puzzles. These include high pt suppression, saturation of the v2
parameters for moderate to high pTs, and the disappearance of
back-to-back jets in central Au+Au collisions. The goal of the workshop
is to bring experimentalists and theorists together to discuss,
evaluate, and
hopefully reach a consensus on several issues including the following:


 (i)  The interpretation of current observations.

 (ii) The interplay between azimuthal anisotropy/asymmetry measurements
      and jet-quenching and any additional insight on reaction dynamics
such interplay brings.

 (iii)The effects of the high pt processes on the bulk properties of the
      system created at RHIC.

 (iv) Plans for the future, ie. what essential data are still missing?
      What additional measurements are needed? Are the current
      uncertainties  in the data sufficiently small to constrain models?
Are the models up to the task and what improvements are needed?


A tentative date, Feb 20 - 22, (Thursday - Saturday) 2003, and place,
BNL, has been set for the workshop. Limited support for travel and
housing expenses is anticipated.

Please let us know if you are interested in participating in the
workshop and whether or not you would like to give a talk. If you cannot
participate but know of a colleague who might be interested, please let
us know.

Additional information will be made available on the website:

Best Wishes

	Roy Lacey, Sergey Panitkin, Jan Rak and Nu Xu
