High Density Matter in AGS,
SPS and RHIC collisions
July 11, 1998.
A RIKEN BNL Research Center Workshop
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Upton, NY, USA
Within the frame of the
RHIC'98 Summer School on relativistic heavy-ion
collisions, we plan to have a 1-day workshop on phenomenological models
focusing on the specific question of the maximum energy density achievable
in collisions at AGS, SPS and RHIC.
More specifically, we have in mind 30-minute (or less) presentations
of the models - but not the model as a whole, but strongly narrowed to
the above key question. Plenty of room for discussions should be reserved.
Each presentation on phenomenological models will attempt to:
-
Explain the basic method to estimate the energy density
in heavy-ion collisions within a model, and argue
why it has the right physical picture.
- "Prove" that the model is unique, in the sense that one could
suggest an experimental observable or signature that may confirm
the correctness of the approach - with respect to the energy
density estimate! In other words, is it visibly distinguishable
from other models.
This workshop is a part of
RHIC'98 Summer Study. To participate in this workshop, one need
to fill out the
online registration for the summer study.
Please feel free to share this circular with interested colleagues.
