> Dear Bill, Tim, Fleming, Wit, Tom, and Sam,
>
> Below please find the announcement for a workshop on p+A physics at the
> LHC, to be held at CERN at the end of May. We would appreciate
> distribution of the announcement to the RHIC collaborations. There is
> clearly a close connection between LHC and RHIC physics in this area and
> the workshop may be of interest to the RHIC community.

> Proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions have long been recognized as a crucial
> component of the LHC heavy ion program. However, significant
> experimental and theoretical developments have occurred in this area
> since the last broad-based discussions of p+A collisions at the LHC. In
> particular, d+Au measurements at RHIC have provided decisive benchmark
> experiments for discoveries in the RHIC nucleus-nucleus program and show
> the potential for elucidating the low-x structure of matter.
>
> The goals of this workshop are to assess the current state of the art in
> p+A physics and to identify the milestones required for optimal
> implementation of the p+A running in the LHC program. The focus will be
> on the following topics:
>
> - LHC machine operation with p+A (contact: J. Jowett)
> - LHC experiments with p+A (contact: A. Morsch, B. Wyslouch, H. Takai)
> - p+A as a benchmark of A+A (contact: J.W. Qiu, N. Armesto, C.A. Salgado)
> - Small-x physics with p+A (contact: D. Kharzeev, L. McLerran, M. Nardi,
> A. Kovner )
> - Ultra peripheral collisions (K. Hencken, P. Yepes, S. Klein, R. Vogt)
>
>
> Following the workshop, the important issues for further planning will
> be summarized in a brief document (~ 20 pages).
>
> Participants should register as short term visitors on
> http://wwwth.cern.ch/fellowships/visitor_welcome.html mentioning this
> workshop as the reason of their visit.
