Scientific Program
Description
The focus will be on the study of matter at ultra-high temperatures and
densities, with new data from BNL and CERN, along with the latest
theoretical views. This will be an auspicious time, occurring after the
initial physics run of RHIC at BNL, with insights drawn from the heavy
ion program at the SPS. The conference will provide a first opportunity to
look at the events and early data from the four experiments at RHIC with
heavy ion collisions at a new frontier of center-of-mass energies.
Access to Transparencies
Go to the
QM2001 Transparency FTP site
to download transparencies from the conference soon after
the talk has concluded.
Burn-your-own CD
A
CD image file is now available for download. This file,
which weighs in at about 656 MBytes, will allow you to use your CD burner to
create a CD containing the transparencies and many conference photos.
Just download and use your CD burning software to copy the image
onto a CD. This CD has been updated on 2/8/01 to include all available

- Staller = Staller Center for the Arts - Main Stage
- Javits = Javits Lecture Center. Here is a
map of the Center.
Poster Sessions
A list of the posters that will be displayed at Stony Brook can
be found on the Poster Sessions Page.
This page contains links to the poster abstracts.
Talks and Proceedings
Facilities will be available for the presentation of all plenary talks and
many of the parallel talks using direct data projection of computer displays
(PC and Mac compatible), as well as the more traditional overhead projectors.
Transparencies of the plenary talks will be published electronically on the
Conference web site to facilitate ease of access.
The proceedings of the conference, containing all talks presented in the
plenary and the parallel sessions, will be published in Nuclear
Physics A as has been done for the previous Quark Matter Conferences.
Attention Quark Matter Speakers: Please consult the
Publication instructions for your QM2001 presentation.
BNL Day
A special afternoon is planned at Brookhaven National Laboratory on
Tuesday. The afternoon will provide a unique opportunity to tour the RHIC
accelerator facilities and the four RHIC experiments. Experimental poster
sessions will be held at the large experimental halls, and theory parallel
sessions will run concurrently. The afternoon will conclude with a reception
and a ceremonial marking of the beginning of the RHIC era.
Other events
- Collaborations that would like to hold meetings before or after
the conference should contact the organizers as soon as possible.
- A
Town Meeting, part of the information-gathering process for the
next Nuclear Physics long-range plan, is scheduled to be held at BNL
directly after the conclusion of Quark Matter 2001 (January 21-23).
Program Committee
A subcommittee drawn from the Organizing Committee and
local members of the International Advisory Committee
will organize the scientific program. The subcommittee
members are:
