H3.00001: Results from ALICE Invited Speaker: Christine Nattrass The ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is optimized to study the properties of the hot, dense matter created in high energy nuclear collisions in order to improve our understanding of the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Recent results from ALICE will be presented. Measurements from pp and p--Pb collisions provide a baseline for measurements in heavy ion collisions. Measurements from Pb--Pb collisions indicate that the matter created in collisions at the LHC is hotter and larger than that at lower energies and behaves like a strongly interacting, nearly perfect liquid.

H3.00002: The RHIC Cold QCD Plan for 2017 to 2023: A Portal to the EIC Invited Speaker: Grant Webb The next 6 years, the unique capabilities of RHIC and its detectors will expand even further with the construction of sPHENIX and the proposed STAR upgrades, especially in the forward direction. Precise measurements in protons and heavy ions collisions address not only the fundamental questions of QCD, but also the assumptions that have driven the advances in practical theoretical calculations. This leads to the possibility of testing universality, factorization and evolution for transverse momentum-dependent parton distribution functions and fragmentation functions. The pA measurements allow us to test nPDFs, FF and the transition into a saturated state if we go to forward rapidities. The current data have constrained the gluon and light sea quark PDFs and for the first time transverse momentum dependent PDFs and FF through pp data. A future Electron-Ion Collider is envisioned as the centerpiece for future nuclear physics research in the United States. I will discuss the plans for RHIC in the near future and it's relevance to the EIC program. [Preview Abstract] |

H3.00003: Recent Results and Status of PHENIX Invited Speaker: Megan Connors Heavy-ion collisions provide energy densities sufficiently high to produce the state of matter known as the Quark Gluon Plasma where quarks and gluons are deconfined. This same state of matter existed immediately following the Big Bang and is reproduced in collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Lab (BNL). The PHENIX detector collected data for 16 years and continues to produce intriguing results that have enhanced our understanding of how the QGP behaves and how probes of the medium interact with it. Recent results from PHENIX will be presented as well as the status of its transition to a state-of-the-art jet detector, known as sPHENIX. [Preview Abstract] |
