AA.00001: Relativisitic Heavy Ion Physics at LHC Invited Speaker: Johanna Stachel The LHC provided collisions of Pb beams at the end of 2010 and 2011 and an integrated luminosity of about 150 inverse microbarn was sampled by three experiments, ALICE, ATLAS, and CMS. Unprecedented conditions of temperature and energy density in the laboratory were reached in these collisions. Selected results from the three experiments and their physical interpretation will be presented. [Preview Abstract] |

AA.00002: Nuclear Physics in Japan - Prospects Being Engaged in RIBF, J-PARC and Other Accelerator Facilities Invited Speaker: Hideto En'yo The Japanese nuclear physics community has been promoting J-PARC (KEK-JAEA) and RIBF (RIKEN Nishina) for many years as our top-priority projects. Having both world-leading facilities in operational now, the research strategy of Japanese nuclear physics is well developed together with additional roles of other facilities like RCNP-Osaka, ELPH in Tohoku and SPring-8 in Harima. Certain research areas are covered with long-range participations in the prominent facilities oversea Our midterm prospect is presented and the theoretical contribution from the 10-Petaflops supercomputer Kei in Kobe is also discussed.

AA.00005: Status of Deep Underground Laboratories Invited Speaker: Nigel Smith Several of the major questions studied in contemporary astro-particle and sub-atomic physics are performed through weak interaction studies or rare event searches that require the ultra-quiet environment afforded by deep underground facilities, where the cosmic radiation induced backgrounds in the detection systems are reduced to a manageable level. This talk will provide a review of the status of, and future plans for, deep underground facilities around the world, highlighting the expansions to available laboratory experimental space that have recently occurred, or are planned in the near future. Additionally, major science programmes that will be hosted in these laboratories will be outlined. [Preview Abstract] |
