Symposium on collective flow in nuclear matter: a celebration of Art Poskanzer's life and career

9 Dec 2022, 09:00 → 10 Dec 2022, 17:00 US/Pacific

Buiding 91, room 310 (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA)

Peter Jacobs

This two-day symposium will celebrate the life and career of Art Poskanzer, a founder of the field of Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics. The scientific part of the symposium will focus on collective flow in nuclear collisions in all its aspects, from its discovery in nuclear collisions at the Bevalac by Art and his collaborators to its widespread application today to measure the structure and dynamics of the Quark-Gluon Plasma at RHIC and the LHC. The symposium will be held in-person and will be broadcast on zoom. We encourage in-person attendance if possible.
