[Cuga] Second Circular: FIU Workshop on High Energy Nuclear Physics and QCD---a message from Misak Sargsian

[Rachel Harris]

Dear Colleague,

This is the second circular of the International Workshop on
"High-Energy Nuclear Physics and QCD," which will be held at
Florida International University, Miami, on February 3-6, 2010.


The main objectives of the workshop are to:

-- Elaborate the scientific motivation and experimental requirements
     for high-energy nuclear physics experiments with the JLab 12 GeV
     Upgrade;

-- Discuss the potential of nuclear structure studies with a future
     high-luminosity Electron-Ion Collider (EIC);

-- Explore connections and synergy effects with the nuclear physics
     programs at future hadron beam facilities (GSI FAIR in Germany,
    COMPAS at CERN,  JPARC in Japan);

-- Evaluate the status of the new Nuclear Physics Data Mining
     Initiative of the CLAS Collaboration at JLab.


The workshop will be dedicated to celebrating the 60th birthday
of Mark Strikman, who has made very significant contributions to
this field of study.


A preliminary list of participants as well as the preliminary
program are available at   http://hule.fiu.edu/Miami10/


The workshop is supported by the Jefferson Science Associates
Initiative Fund. Based on the current budget, we expect to be able
to provide a restricted amount of financial support for graduate
students and junior postdocs.


Please let us know if you are interested in participating in
this workshop.


Yours Sincerely
