HQ2014 - Announcements

 

First Announcement

           ==================================
           Hot Quarks 2014 Workshop - HQ 2014
           ===================================
                      First Circular

 We are very pleased to announce that, 10 years after the first
 edition, the next workshop in the Hot Quarks series will be held
        September 21-28, 2014, in Las Negras -- Cabo de Gata Natural Park, 
        Andalucia, Spain.

 The aim of this workshop is to enhance the direct exchange of
 scientific information among the younger members of the Relativistic
 Heavy Ion community, both from the experiments and theory. Therefore we
 especially want to encourage postdoctoral fellows, advanced graduate
 students, and junior faculty and research staff to apply.

 Topics that will be addressed include:
 - QCD at high temperature/density and lattice QCD
 - Initial state effects and Color Glass Condensate
 - Relativistic hydrodynamic and collective phenomena
 - Correlations and fluctuations
 - Jets in the vacuum and in the medium
 - Baryons and strangeness
 - Heavy flavor, dileptons and photons
 - Applications of String Theory and AdS/CFT
 - Experimental techniques and future programs

 The format of the workshop is morning and afternoon/evening sessions
 consisting of short (~20 min) presentations. Each session is
 followed by a relatively long (~1hr) Question&Answer (Q&A) session. The
 KKG Award is presented to the best presentation at the conference. The
 prize is dedicated to the memory of Klaus Kinder Geiger,
 who perished on the Swiss Air flight 111 from New York to Geneva in
 1998. Active participation by all is encouraged in the Q&A sessions.
 All participants are expected to be present at the workshop premises
 throughout the duration of the conference.

 Ample free time between lunch and the afternoon session and after
 dinner is planned in order to enhance such informal interactions. The
 number of participants will be restricted to <80. Every participant
 will give an oral presentation.

 If you are interested in attending HQ2014 please register through our
 workshop website at http://hq2014.bnl.gov after February 1st. Due to the 
limited number of participants, and the usually high interest in attending 
this workshop, speakers will be selected from this list after the specified
 closing date and notified via Email.

 Further details about the program and the workshop venue will also be
 posted on this web page.

 A lively, informative discussion is anticipated at the meeting, leading
 to progress in advancing the state of the knowledge of relativistic heavy-ion 
 collisions.

 Please distribute this email within your collaborations and local
 groups.

 Sincerely,

  The Hot Quarks Organizers (Javier Albacete, Jana Bielcikova, Rainer Fries,

Third Announcement


=============== Hot Quarks 2014 Workshop - HQ 2014  ====================== 
	             Third Announcement 


 

Dear Colleagues,

This is the last announcement for the next workshop in the Hot Quarks series,
which will be held September 21-28, 2014, in Las Negras - Cabo de Gata
Natural Park, Spain.

Please note that the deadline for registration and abstract submission has been
extended to June 15th. Both registration and abstract submission are open via
the corresponding links on our web site at http://hq2014.bnl.gov. Speakers will be
selected among the submitted abstracts shortly after the closing date and notified
via Email.

The inclusive conference fee will be of 400 EUR. It covers for lodging in double
occupancy rooms and full board for the whole week, as well as the excursion to the
Alhambra of Granada and the conference dinner. Such low fee is possible thanks to
the support obtained from our sponsors, which corresponds to a significant fraction
of the workshop total cost (including registration fees and proceedings).
Upon request, a limited number of rooms in single occupancy will also be available
at an extended fee.

The number of participants will be restricted to <80 so that every participant
can give an oral presentation. The aim of this workshop is to enhance the
direct exchange of scientific information among the younger members of the
