  • Everyone is welcomed and please do join.
  • Workfest will run from 9AM on Monday to 3PM on Friday
  • We’ll end on Friday with reports from working groups and collaboration/project news and an IB meeting. We may want to have the IB meeting in the morning (to allow the new Asian institutions to present at a reasonable time, i.e., not 3AM)
  • We’ll have a short general status talk Monday AM, to be continued with topical tutorials organized by the various groups
    • Main activity for the week will be meetings/working sessions with the ALICE/CERN attendees on tracking, TPC distortion simulations and corrections (as one group, not separated into tracking and calibration)
    • Activities/sessions organized by topical groups and computing task force

Pre-workfest tutorial

On Wed 8 Jan 2020 2-5PM, we are organizing a BlueJeans-based software tutorial. The goal is to get everyone up to speed with the basics on using the sPHENIX software, so that we can get onto higher level tasks and discussions on day-1 of the workfest. Welcome to join us for anyone who are new to the sPHENIX software universe: https://indico.bnl.gov/event/7254/  . The session will be recorded for future reference too.

      Study of nuclear effects in small collision systems connecting proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions 1h Small Seminar Room (Physics Building 510)

      The main purpose of relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments is to understand Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) which is very hot and dense QCD matters produced in heavy-ion collisions. Early results from RHIC such as jet quenching and elliptic flow are supported for the formation of the QGP. In order to fully understand the properties of the QGP, it is very important to understand initial conditions before the QGP formation. Proton(deuteron)-ion collision is a control experiment to explore this kind of effects from intrinsic nucleus so called cold-nuclear-matter (CNM) effects such as modification of parton distributions, energy loss, multiple scattering, and break-up of quarkonia states. Another striking results recently observed in small systems are long-range correlations which were believed as one of properties of the QGP. Now, the studies in small systems receives much more attention than that as a control experiment of heavy-ion collisions. I will introduce the interesting results in small collision systems as well as what we can learn from the expected measurements in the future.
