2019 RHIC & AGS Annual Users' Meeting

Motivation

The Annual RHIC & AGS Users' Meeting will be held on June 4, 2019–June 7, 2020 at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The theme of this year’s meeting is "The Golden Age of Heavy Ion Collisions." This year's meeting will cover all aspects of the RHIC/AGS scientific program, from the newest results of the beam energy scan to the latest measurements with polarized proton-proton collisions.

Workshops that will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday June 4th and 5th will enable more in-depth discussions of isobar & beam energy scan programs, measurements of hard probes in heavy ion collisions, studies of small systems and cold QCD with a look at future upgrades. A special workshop on diversity and career development and inclusiveness will be held Wednesday afternoon.

The presentations of the latest physics results from STAR and PHENIX experiments, an in-depth look at the proposed detector upgrades, reports from representatives from the funding agencies, and award ceremonies will be held during the plenary sessions on Thursday and Friday June 6th and 7th. The meeting will adjourn with an open forum followed by a catered luncheon on Friday afternoon.
