*FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
*
*6th International Conference on Physics Opportunities at an 
Electron-Ion Collider (POETIC6)
*
September 7-11, 2015
Ecole Polytechnique
Palaiseau, France

We are pleased to announce that POETIC6, the 6th edition of the 
International Conference on the "*Physics Opportunities at an 
ElecTron-Ion Collider*" will take place at Ecole Polytechnique in 
Palaiseau, France from *Monday, September 7th to Friday, September 11th 
2015*, a few weeks before the National Science Advisory Committee 
recommends a new Long Range Plan to the United States' DOE and NSF.

In the midst of this much-anticipated report, and following earlier 
workshops at Stellenbosch, Bloomington, Valparaiso, Jyvaskyla and Yale, 
it is timely for the POETIC series to become an international 
conference. The primary goal will remain to continue the advancement of 
the field of electron-ion collider physics.

While the central theme of the conference will be the physics of a 
future electron-ion collider, the workshop will also cover 
strongly-related physics in the CEBAF, RHIC, and 
LHC experimental programs. The conference will aim primarily at 
developments on the theory/phenomenology side, but the latest 
accelerator and experimental developments of interest will also 
be reviewed. It will foster exchanges between theory, phenomenology and 
experiment.

The conference will cover topical issues at the frontier of hadron 
structure and explore outstanding open questions. Topics discussed will 
include:

• QCD at high parton densities and small-x evolution: BFKL, Color Glass 
Condensate.
• Quark and gluon content of nucleons and nuclei: (nuclear) parton 
distribution functions, hadron and jet fragmentation.
• Spin and 3D structure: helicity distributions, transverse momentum 
dependent (TMDs) and generalized parton distributions (GPDs).
• The properties of colored probes in cold nuclear matter: modifications 
of quarkonia production, jet formation and evolution, hadronization.
• Complementarity and connections of EIC physics with p+p, p+A and A+A 
collisions: high-pt processes, diffraction, multi-parton interactions, 
quark-gluon plasma, colored probes in hot nuclear matter.
• Physics beyond the Standard Model and connections to other areas in 
physics.
• Future DIS facilities: accelerator and detector developments.

The conference will be held within the Ecole Polytechnique, close to 
Paris and with convenient public transportation to its center. In 
addition to the plenary sessions, parallel sessions will also be 
organized if deemed necessary. Young physicists, post-docs and students, 
are especially encouraged to attend; some financial support will be 
available for them.

More detailed information will be provided in a second circular later 
this year. In addition, updates will be regularly posted on the 
conference web site http://poetic6.sciencesconf.org
