Description

Morning session

5. Higher harmonics of sound perturbations at RHIC/LHC heavy ion collisions

Prof. Edward Shuryak (Stony Brook)

11/7/11, 9:30 AM

Analytic means are applied to solve for all harmonics of the flow: which then are applied to calculation of the correlation functions and the power spectrum. Like in the Big Bang, acoustic peaks are predicted. Sounds and matter excitation from jet quenching will also be discussed.

6. Jet Suppression at ATLAS

Mr Peter Hansen (Niels Bohr Institute)

11/7/11, 11:00 AM

7. New Physics Opportunities in the Charm/Tau Region: The BESIII - Experiment at IHEP/Beijing

Prof. Wolfgang Kuehn (Univ. Giessen)

11/7/11, 11:45 AM

11. An Effective Model for Deconfinement

Prof. Robert PISARSKI (Brookhaven National Lab.)

11/8/11, 9:30 AM

I give a physical description of an effective model for the deconfining phase transition. Detailed results are given for the pure glue theory, and a qualitative description given of QCD.

12. Quantum decoherence from classical coherence in heavy ion collisions

Prof. Raju VENUGOPALAN (Brookhaven National Lab)

11/8/11, 11:00 AM

We discuss an ab initio approach to the formation and thermalization of quark-gluon matter in heavy ion collisions. The phenomenological implications of our studies are emphasized.

13. In-Medium Energy Loss and Correlations in Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 2.76 TeV

Dr Jan Fiete GROSSE-OETRINGHAUS (CERN)

11/8/11, 11:45 AM

18. Morphology of HIC event

Prof. Pavel NASELSKY (NBI)

11/9/11, 9:30 AM

19. Fluctuations around Bjorken flow and the onset of turbulent phenomena

Stefan Floerchinger (CERN)

11/9/11, 11:00 AM

20. Geometry, Geometry, Geometry

Prof. James Nagle (University of Colorado)

11/9/11, 11:45 AM
