Dear collaborator, The Riken center and BNL theory group has scheduled a workshop on June 14,15 with the content given below. Original the aim was clearly to make this a workshop where qgp would be announced, but the experiments as well as BNL management has clearly stated this is not the time and place to do so, in particular with the white-paper process in progress. The workshop is thought still important and may even help in the formulation of the white-papers in so far the theory side is presented, and hopefully an open-minded discussion will take place. This workshop , unfortunately, is schduled right after our Coll meeting making it difficult to have a broad represenattion from Brahms there. JJG and I have discussed this and are investigating who can be representing us in the Friday session to make up a group of 4-5 people there. This must be settled fairly quickly, so we can also prepare for this. best regards Flemming ------------------ Dear Spokespeople, May we ask you to forward the email announcement below to your collaboration email lists? Our email address lists are far too incomplete relative to yours and we do not want to inadvertently omit any rhic physicist who may be interested in attending the upcoming may 14,15 rbrc workshop. Also we request that each collaboration propose to us a small core of representatives fro the smaller may 14 submeeting. We of course have obvious names in mind, but we defer to the judgement of each collaboration to chose about 5 reps.

Spokespersons/acting spokespersons please forward to your distribution lists. Several RBRC theory position papers have been posted (see quark.phy.bnl.gov/~mclerran/qgp) arguing that the first three years of data from RHIC has produced strong empirical evidence for the production of a new state of matter, the strongly interacting and coupled quark gluon plasma (sQGP) in central collisions of Au nuclei at 200 AGeV. Different lines of evidence were pointed out related to (1) constraints on the QCD equation of state as revealed by collective observables, (2) evidence for chromo-dynamics of short wavelength probes as revealed by jet quenching, (3) hadronic coalescence signatures of deconfinement, and (4) growing evidence for the nuclear Color Glass Condensate as the source of the sQGP. The papers also discuss lessons learned from previous lower energy AA experiments at SPS, AGS, GSI and their relation to the published RHIC data. The RBRC workshop, to be held at BNL Friday and Saturday May 14 and 15, is timed to facilitate participation by those attending the 2004 RHIC/AGS User's Meeting. The aim of the RBRC workshop is to start the process of reaching consensus on new physics discoveries contained by the first 275 (incl. 46 PRL) published papers by the four experiments at RHIC. The workshop is organized into two parts. On Friday afternoon, May 14, 1-4 PM, due to severe on-site space limitations a small group of theorists and experimentalists involved in physics working groups will discuss the topics raised by the RBRC papers as well as physics topics that have arisen during ongoing deliberations of the experimental white paper working groups. The attendance for the Friday session will be limited by invitation to 30 participants. In addition to theory representatives , we request that each experiment select 4-6 representatives to attend this closed meeting. The goal of this first days session is to set the groundwork in place whereby consensus on the implications of the results from RHIC may be achieved. The Saturday session will be open to all and we invite active participation by the RHIC community. The preliminary schedule on May 15 calls for an opening talk by T. D. Lee, followed by Tom Ludlam on the spectacular start of RHIC, and theory talks by Miklos Gyulassy (on the strongly interacting QGP discovered at RHIC), Jean-Paul Blaizot (on the growing evidence for the Color Glass Condensate at RHIC), Berndt Mueller (on hadronic signal of deconfinement), Edward Shuryak (on the surprising perfect fluid QGP properties), Hoerst Stocker (contrasting SPS and RHIC physics discoveries) and Xin-Nian Wang (on the discovery of jet quenching). The theory talks will summarize the position papers posted by then on the RBRC web site. In the afternoon there will be talks by BRAHMS, PHENIX, PHOBOS, and STAR collaborations on the progress made during the first three years in the search for the QGP at RHIC, and on important open questions. Throughout the day we will try to arrange plenty of time for questions and discussions. Finally Nick Samios, the Director of RBRC, will present closing remarks. On May 14, the meeting will be held in either the Orange Room or Room 2-95. On May 15, the meeting will be in the large seminar room. On Friday night, there will be a bbq get together on the patio of the Broohaven Center from 6:00 PM. It is open to all registered participants at the workshop (Friday or Saturday). For further information on travel, registration etc please see http://www.bnl.gov/riken/default.htm or contact Tammy Heinz, Experimental Group Secretary, room 2-70, Bldg. 510A BNL, 631-344-5864, fax 631-344-2562, theinz@bnl.gov. We hope that the contributions from the experimental collaborations will be written in time to be included in the final RBRC proceedings on this workshop, on or about July 15.
