Hot Quarks 2012 workshop
The 2012 Hot Quarks workshop will be held in Copamarina, Puerto Rico, on 14-20 October this year. The event is aiming to enhance information exchange between the younger members of the relativistic heavy ion community.
Topics under discussion at the conference will include: applications of string theory and AdS/CFT; baryons and strangeness; correlations and fluctuations; experimental techniques and future programs; heavy flavour, dileptons and photons; initial state effects and color glass condensate; jets in the vacuum and in the medium; QCD at high temperature/density and lattice QCD; and relativistic hydrodynamic and collective phenomena.
The workshop will consist of two daily sessions of short (15-20 minute) presentations, with each session being followed by an hour-long question and answer session. All attendees will be required to give an oral presentation.
In addition, the best presentation at the workshop will be recognised by the KKG award; the prize which is dedicated to the memory of Klaus Kinder Geiger, the German theoretical physicist who died in an aeroplane crash in 1998.
The deadline for registration is 1 June. The number of participants will be limited to under 80. For more information, and registration, please visit the Hot Quarks 2012 website.
