Initial Stages in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions

Initial Stages 2014

December 3rd - 7th

Napa, CA

  • Main topics:
    • partonic structure of protons and nuclei
    • the conditions at the initial stages of the nuclear collisions
    • complementarity of proton-ion and electron-ion collisions
    • role and nature of fluctuations of initial conditions in pp, pA, eA and AA collision and the subsequent system evolution 
    • determination of viscosity and other physical properties of the system created in high-energy nuclear collisions
