RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting

Workshop 2

 

Bulk and medium properties in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and RHIC-II

Back | Homepage

Date: Monday, June 18, 2007
Organizers: Sergei Voloshin and Dave Morrison
Time: Full Day
Location: Large Seminar Room, Physics - Bldg. 510
Summary:  
The discoveries that have come out of the first few years of data from RHIC have firmly established that matter with unusual properties is created in very high energy heavy-ion collisions. Naturally, the experiments at RHIC are increasingly focused on characterizing the detailed properties of this created matter. Recent data sets at RHIC with high statistics and superb control of difficult systematics have led to intriguing observations such as the shape of the away side peak in two particle correlations, the near side low pT "ridge" in those same measurements, the systematics of multi-particle correlations, the scaling properties of elliptic flow, and many others. These observations have fed a lively and productive discussion of the underlying physics. This workshop will review many of the latest results from the RHIC experiments related to the properties of the medium created in heavy-ion collisions and couple these reviews with discussions of the physics implications.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
