Highlights of INT Program 14-3: Heavy Flavor and Electromagnetic Probes
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab. (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
The Institute for Nuclear Theory program, Heavy Flavor and Electro- magnetic Probes in Heavy-Ion Collisions (INT 14-3), was held 15 September to 10 October 2014. In addition to the four organizers: Ramona Vogt (LLNL and UC Davis), Peter Petreczky (BNL), Anthony Frawley (Florida State), and Enrico Scomparin (INFN Torino), the program was attended by 34 other participants spread out over the four week period. Almost all participants were recognized experts in the field and were invited to take part. Eight of the participants were postdocs and five were women. There are two main thrusts to the study of heavy quarks and quarkonia in heavy-ion physics: “hot matter” (effects specific to the high temperature medium produced in heavy-ion or nucleus-nucleus collisions) and “cold nu- clear matter” (effects that are present already in proton-nucleus collisions and are a baseline against which hot matter effects must be compared) as well as production of the heavy quarks and quarkonium (bound states of heavy quark-antiquark pairs) in perturbative QCD. The program was structured so that the first two weeks were generally devoted to hot matter, especially lattice QCD. The second half was devoted to issues related to production and cold matter effects. An intense 2.5 day workshop, from 29 September to 1 October. Although a theory program, experimentalists attended throughout, giving talks on recent data and future facilities.
