Dear Colleagues,

 

We are pleased to invite you to the RBRC Workshop on Physics Predictions for sPHENIX, which will be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory from Wednesday July 20th to Friday July 22nd 2022.  

 

The purpose of the workshop is to connect heavy ion theorists with experimentalists working on jet, heavy flavor, quarkonia, and cold QCD physics measurements with the sPHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.  

 

sPHENIX is the first new collider detector at RHIC in over twenty years, with capabilities specifically designed to explore this physics to a level of precision not previously achievable at RHIC energies. The goal of the sPHENIX physics program is to greatly enhance our understanding of the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma created in nucleus-nucleus collisions and the structure of the proton using polarized proton-proton collisions. This program will conclude the scientific mission of RHIC before it is transformed into the Electron-Ion Collider. 

 

The focus of the workshop is the interaction between experimentalists and theorists: sPHENIX scientists will discuss the technical capabilities and expected performance of the experiment, and theorists will provide guidance on the sPHENIX measurements most likely to reveal valuable information about the structure and behavior of the QGP and proton structure. A particular goal is to collect state-of-the-art physics predictions from theoretical groups for measurements achievable with sPHENIX data-taking in 2023-2025, which will be compiled in a citable document before first data. 

 

The workshop will have only plenary sessions, with invited and contributed talks. People interested in contributing talks should contact the organizers directly prior to the registration deadline.  Registration will include catered lunch on site at BNL to encourage informal discussion between sessions. The workshop webpage, including information for visitors to BNL, can be found here:

While we encourage all who are able to attend in person, the workshop will be held in a hybrid mode to allow for remote participation. Registration is open now and will close on June 1, 2022; there is no registration fee. 

 

We look forward to discussing this exciting physics with you at BNL!
