Dear Gunther and Dave, 

            The 2018 Santa Fe Jets and Heavy Flavor workshop will take place January 29-31, 2018 in Santa Fe, NM. The purpose of this meeting is to summarize the accomplishments and provide guidance for the community effort in the areas of hadronic jets, quarkonia and open heavy flavor, with emphasis on perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD) and Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). The theory is closely tied to experiments at the leading nuclear and particle physics facilities in the US and abroad, such as the RHIC at Brookhaven National Lab and the LHC complex at CERN. The workshop is also central to the physics goals of the next-generation nuclear physics facility in the US, the Electron Ion Collider (EIC). This is the third year for this workshop following the very successful 2016 and 2017 Santa Fe Jets and Heavy Flavor workshops with approximately 60 attendees each form the US and abroad. For more information see https://indico.fnal.gov/event/15328/

          We would like to invite one speaker from the sPHENIX collaboration to present an overview talk on jets and heavy flavor studies at sPHENIX. Could you let us know your collaboration selection as soon as possible. We also provide a link to the registration page for convenience:  registration process.

Sincere regards,

Xuan on behalf of the organizers
