QM2001 Student Pre-Conference Symposium
January 14, 2001 Javits Center
Just prior to the conference,
we will be hosting a symposium on heavy ion physics for the participating
students. This will take place Sunday, January 14 from 2pm to 6pm
at the Javits Lecture Center on the Stony Brook Campus, and
will be followed immediately at 6PM by the Welcome Reception
and main conference registration.
Buses will be leaving from BNL at noon on the 14th
for the Javits Center. There,
students will be provided with a light lunch and
also have an opportunity to register for the conference starting
at 1PM.
The emphasis of this symposium will be on preparing the students,
who will be of varying experience levels, with conceptual and factual tools
to aid them in taking a critical approach to the conference. There will
be two speakers each from the experimental and theoretical sides ofthe field
who will attempt to elucidate the important questions within the field as well
as the relevant connection to physics in general.
The talks will be about 45 minutes each and the planned speakers are:
George Sterman |
SUNYSB & BNL Physics | QCD from Short Distances to Long |
Dirk Rischke | RIKEN/BNL Center |
Thermo- and Hydrodynamics for Relativistic
Heavy-Ion Collisions |
Coffee break | ||
Reinhard Stock | University of Frankfurt |
The Dynamics of A+A Collisions:
When do the Relevant Observables"Freeze Out"? |
William A. Zajc |
Columbia University |
A Pedestrian's Guide to RHIC and Its Experiments |
