Fall 2001 Heavy Ion Journal Club
Moderator: Tom Gutierrez
CRN: 41618 (must have Friday from 2-5 open to register)
Regular meeting time: Tuesday 2-4 (or so -- probably until 3:30 at the
latest) on the 5th floor
Helpful links:
Spires: a
very handy site for finding papers. Search by title, author, etc. Quite
massive.

Tuesday Oct 23, 2001
Discussion leader: Tom Gutierrez
Topic: Scheduling and misc. physics.
Nov 6: Steve Oliver -- Elliptic Flow in Au+Au Collisions at sqrt(s)=130
GeV
Nov 13: Mark McKinnon -- Review of Speculative "Disaster Scenarios" at
RHIC
Nov 20: Dan Clayton -- From SPS to RHIC: Breaking the Barrior to the QGP
Tuesday Oct 16, 2001 starting at 2pm
Discussion leader: Trieu Mai
Topic: The basics of particle identification and spectra. Trieu will also
go over some kinematics "homework" (not graded) which you can download
here (includes solutions): HW1. It may not be
a bad idea to go over Chapter 4 of Jenn Klay's thesis (see last week's link),
which goes over the ABC's of particle identification.
Special note: I (Tom) will be going to the division of nuclear physics
meeting in Hawaii this week and will miss journal club.
Steve, Mark, and Dan: I am still pondering good papers for you to cover
later in the quarter.
