8. Angular correlations

Prof. Raimond SNELLINGS (Utrecht University)

10. The DIPSY event generator for minimum bias and heavy ion collisions

Prof. Lief Lönnblad (Lund University)

17. Jets in a quark-gluon plasma

Dr Konrad TYWONIUK (Lund University)

11/7/11, 4:00 PM

We describe the coherent radiation off a quark-antiquark antenna traversing a QCD medium. Features of the spectrum are discussed and relevant scales of the problem are identified. In particular, the regimes where interference effects prevail are shown to be relevant in light of the data on inclusive jets in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC.

14. Heavy ion collisions at the LHC - selected topics from a theorist's perspective

Prof. Urs Achim WIEDEMANN (CERN)

11/8/11, 2:00 PM

15. Eccentricities in heavy ions from DIPSY

Dr Christoffer FLENSBURG (Lund University)

11/8/11, 2:45 PM

Ellipticity and triangularity are calculated using the new heavy ion initial state event generator DIPSY. The ellipticity is similar to CGC, but the triangularity is significantly larger than both Glauber and CGC. Data seems to favor the DIPSY eccentricities over both Glauber and CGC.

16. Lattice QCD at non zero chemial potential - status and challenges

Prof. Kim Splittorff (NBI)

11/8/11, 4:00 PM

21. TBA

Dr Alberto Guffanti (Niels Bohr Institute)
