*SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT*

*Sixth International Conference on Physics Opportunities at an 
Electron-Ion Collider (POETIC VI)
*
September 7-11, 2015
Ecole Polytechnique
Palaiseau, France

We are pleased to announce that POETIC VI, 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, it 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. Also, we are considering the publication 
of e-proceedings. Young physicists, post-docs and students, are 
especially encouraged to attend; some financial support will be 
available for them upon request.


*Registration and Conference Fees
*
Registration is done following the corresponding link on the conference 
website. The regular workshop fee is 150 euros.

The workshop fee covers the participation at the workshop, the welcome 
reception, the coffee breaks, the lunches. Any participant willing to 
attend the workshop dinner will have to pay an additional 50 euros.

You will receive the payment details after the pre-registration process 
has been completed and validated (it will likely take a few days). You 
will then receive an email from azur-colloque.fr 
<http://azur-colloque.fr> asking you to fill a form with all of your 
payment related information.

Your registration will be completed after the payment has been received.


*Abstracts
*
The abstract submission system is now online; it can be accessed through 
the conference website or directly at the following indico website 
http://indico.cern.ch/e/poetic6.

The deadline for abstract submission has been set to June 15th.


*Accommodations
*
Be aware that you have to take care of arranging accommodation yourself; 
it is not part of the registration procedure.

A list of accommodation options can be found under the corresponding 
link on the conference website.


*Visa information
*
Workshop participants are requested to familiarize themselves with visa 
requirements well in advance of the workshop. Letters of invitation for 
visa purposes will be available upon request at 
poetic6-secretariat at sciencesconf.org

*Financial Support
*
We will be offering a limited number of financial supports, distributed 
in priority to PhD students and young postdocs. In order to apply, 
please send us an email as early as possible at poetic6 at sciencesconf.org 
<mailto:poetic6 at sciencesconf.org>.
