> Several striking features are observed at RHIC in heavy-ion collisions
(but
> not in d+Au) relative to pp: Large pT hadron yields are suppressed;
Leading
> and sub-leading hadron jet-like back-to-back correlations are suppressed;
> Leading and soft hadron correlations are enhanced; Baryon to meson ratio
is
> enhanced in the intermediate pT region, and yet the baryons seem to
possess
> jet-like characteristics; And elliptic flow at intermediate to high pT
> exhibits a pattern suggestive of the relevance of the constituent quark
> degrees of freedom. These and other observations suggest that jets are
> modified in the hot and dense medium created in central heavy ion
> collisions, and the created medium is qualitatively consistent with a
> strongly coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma.
>
> However, the properties of the created medium are far from being fully
> understood. What is the degree of thermalization in heavy-ion collisions?
> How to probe thermalization experimentally? Is the away side correlation
> data a manifestation of sonic shock waves? If the jets are losing energy,
> where does the energy go? At what pT are effects from punching through of
> the away jet observable? What are the production mechanisms for large pT
> baryons (and mesons)? Is the relevance of the constituent quark degrees of
> freedom a proof of de-confinement?
>
> This workshop will provide a forum to gather theorists and
experimentalists
> and to stimulate discussions about what the data are telling us about the
> properties of the medium, what the remaining questions are, and how to
> address them experimentally and theoretically.
