With the prediction of exotic new phases, QCD at non-zero-baryon-density has received significant attention recently. The QCD "vacuum" at high density may be a color superconductor, violate parity, and have quark excitations with integral electric charge. Progress has been made using relatively simple model calculations while a first principles confirmation from the lattice is lacking, but highly desirable. This is especially true with RHIC about to come on-line.

The treatment of QCD at non-zero-baryon-density has been a long standing problem for Monte Carlo methods. Therefore we are holding this workshop at the RIKEN BNL Research Center on QCD at non-zero-baryon-density on the lattice. The focus will be on developing numerical methods to handle this difficult problem. We envision a small five day workshop with emphasis on discussions and working groups with a couple of talks each day.
