> First Announcement
>
>
> Dear Colleagues,
>
> This is the first announcement of Hard Probes 2006, the Second
International
> Conference on Hard and Electromagnetic Probes of High Energy Nuclear
> Collisions, to be held at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove,
> California, on June 9-16, 2006.
>
>
> Scientific Program
>
> As demonstrated by recent experimental results from RHIC, hard and
> electromagnetic probes have become increasingly important for the study
> of high-energy nuclear collisions. They provide unique and powerful tools
> for the exploration of both dense matter and the initial conditions
> preceding its formation. The Hard Probes conferences are a natural
> consequence of the growing interest in this area of physics, covering
> the following topics:
>
> Jets and high transverse momentum hadrons
> Heavy flavor hadrons and quarkonia
> Photons and dileptons
> Initial parton distributions in nuclei
>
> The conference will consist of both invited plenary and contributed
parallel
> presentations, as well as a poster session, with an optional half day
> excursion. There will be a brief student program on Basics of Perturbative
> QCD and Jet Physics. The conference will end with the conference banquet
on
> the evening of Thursday, June 15. In order to facilitate extensive and
> in-depth discussions during the conference, the number of participants
> will be limited to 150.
>
>
> Pre-registration and Future Announcements
>
> The registration, lodging reservation and abstract submission will be
> available on our website in January 2006, and will be announced in future
> mailings. In order to receive future announcements, please go to the
> conference website and fill out the brief online pre-registration form.

> The Asilomar Conference Grounds is located along the coast of California
in
> Pacific Grove, on Monterey Bay. It has 107 acres of forest, dunes, and
> coastline situated right on Asilomar State Beach with many nearby historic
> buildings and natural surroundings. Blocks away from the Conference
Grounds
> is the Monarch Grove Sanctuary in Pacific Grove. Nearby towns and
> attractions include Monterey with the Monterey Bay Aquarium,
> Carmel-by-the-Sea and Pebble Beach Golf Club on the Seventeen Mile Drive,
> all within a short drive.
>
>
> Financial Support
