Subject: RBRC workshop on strongly coupled plasmas


> There has been a tremendous amount of discussion recently about
> the level of proof for Quark Gluon Plasma discovery at the
> Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. One of the striking results is 
> that the quark gluon plasma accessible at RHIC appears to be 
> strongly coupled. The properties of strongly coupled plasmas are 
> of intense interest in the traditional Plasma Physics community, 
> who have developed tools to study such matter theoretically 
> and experimentally. Despite the fact that one plasma interacts 
> electromagnetically and the other through the strong interaction, 
> there is tremendous commonality in the intellectual approach and 
> even the theoretical and experimental tools. As we seek to develop 
> ways to measure and understand the fascinating properties of the 
> quark gluon plasma, the time has come to make contact with plasma 
> and atomic physicists and share techniques and ideas.
> 
> Consequently, we are planning a two-day workshop at the RIKEN-BNL 
> Research Center on "Strongly Coupled Plasmas: Electromagnetic,
> Nuclear and Atomic". This workshop aims to establish contact between 
> the two communities and explore possible avenues for collaboration. 
> The workshop will take place on December 16 and 17, 2004 at Brookhaven 
> National Laboratory. A web site with more information is located at:
> 
> http://quark.phy.bnl.gov/~bass/workshop.htm
> it is also linked from the RBRC page at
> http://www.bnl.gov/riken 
> 
> We hope for good participation from the different communities. We 
> ask parties to please register by November 1, so we can arrange for
> access to the BNL site and know how many particpants to expect.

> Sincerely,
> Barbara Jacak, Edward Shuryak, Tim Hallman, Steffen Bass, Ron Davidson
