Workshop on QCD in
Extreme Environments
29th June to 3rd July, 2004
HEP Division, Argonne National
Laboratory
This is the first announcement of a workshop on QCD at high
temperatures and/or densities to be held in the High Energy Physics
Division of the Argonne National Laboratory, Tuesday 29th June to
Saturday 3rd July, 2004. Registration is now open. Please register by
sending email to Don Sinclair dks@hep.anl.gov. We are still accepting
applications, but
as the date of the
meeting is approached, it will become progressively harder to
obtain the necessary security clearance to enter Argonne National
Laboratory, especially for those of you who are not US citizens, in
time for the meeting. In
addition, the seminar room we have reserved has a limited capacity, so
if we are forced to restrict the number of attendees, those who have
applied before the deadline will be given first preference.
Registration
should include name, institutional affiliation with address, and
citizenship.
QCD at extremes of temperature and densities has relevance to the
physics of the early universe, neutron stars (and nuclear matter in
general), and to the physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions such
as are observed at RHIC and in the CERN heavy-ion program. Although
this
meeting will emphasize the theoretical approaches to studies of QCD in
such extreme environments, there will be room for talks of an
experimental nature. We hope to bring together people involved in
different approaches to such studies, including Lattice QCD,
variational
methods, effective field theories, chiral perturbation theory, random
matrices, Schwinger-Dyson methods, etc..
