R2.00001: New Experimental Results from RHIC Invited Speaker: In the past two years we have witnessed a leap forward in the understanding high temperature, high density, and strongly interacting matter produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Combining measurements of Au+Au, d+Au, and p+p collisions at energies up to $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV, the four RHIC experimental groups, STAR, PHENIX, PHOBOS, and BRAHMS, have produced impressive experimental evidence for the existence of a new form of matter. In this talk, I will present an overview of the latest experimental results from RHIC. [Preview Abstract] |

R2.00002: The Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider: Present Performance and Future Capabilities Invited Speaker: As the first hadron accelerator and collider consisting of two independent superconducting rings RHIC has operated with a wide range of beam energies and particle species. Machine operation and performance will be reviewed that includes high luminosity gold-on-gold and copper-on-copper collisions at design beam energy (100 GeV/u), asymmetric deuteron-on-gold collisions as well as high energy polarized proton-proton collisions (100 GeV on 100 GeV). Future operation with polarized protons at 500 GeV center-of-mass energy as well as plans for luminosity upgrades and the addition of high luminosity collisions with a 10 GeV electron beam will also be discussed.

R2.00003: Recent Physics Results and the 12 GeV Upgrade at JLAB Invited Speaker: Over the past years a large number of experiments have been carried out in the 3 experimental halls at Jlab. Recent highlights from this broad program will be presented. These include measurements of the nucleon and pion form factors at high $Q^2$, results on the polarised and unpolarised structure functions and first results from the parity experiment G0. With the planned upgrade to 12 GeV, a whole new area of physics will become accessible. Using a longitudinally polarised photon beam, a search for gluonic exitations leading to exotic hybrid mesons will be carried out using a new detector. Modifications of the existing detectors will allow to study the quark-gluon structure of hadrons and nuclei with unprecedented precision and exploit the so-called generalised parton distributions and the transverse momentum distributions of the quarks. Both the plans for the accelerator, the detectors and the physics potential at 12 GeV will be presented. [Preview Abstract] |
