IS2013 - FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
 
This is the first announcement of the /International Conference on the
Initial Stages in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions (IS2013), /to be held at
Hotel Louxo, Illa da Toxa, Galicia - Spain, in September 8-14 2013. Please,
distribute this announcement among your colleagues. A web site is available
 
http://igfae.usc.es/is2013
 
GOALS
 
New experimental results at the LHC and RHIC colliders and novel
theoretical tools developed in the last years, are leading to an
unprecedented knowledge of the collective dynamics at play in high-energy
nuclear and hadronic collisions. Progress in our understanding of the
initial-state of strongly interacting matter, from the saturated partonic
structure of nuclei to its hydrodynamical evolution, is very remarkable.
The latest results from (p)dAu collisions at RHIC and the recent 5 TeV
proton-lead run at the LHC are being actively confronted to a new
generation of theoretical analyses. 
 
The meeting will be focused on the discussion of the present experimental
and theoretical knowledge of the partonic structure of protons and nuclei;
the corresponding conditions at the initial stages of the collision,
including the role and nature of fluctuations; the subsequent
hydrodynamical evolution; and the determination of viscosity or other
medium properties. Providing a framework for cross-talk among different
subfields is one of the main goals of the conference.
 
TOPICS
 
- Nuclear parton distribution functions
- Gluon saturation
- The initial stages of heavy-ion collisions
- Global and collective dynamics
- Hydrodynamics and fluctuating initial conditions
- Viscosity and other transport coefficients of the QCD medium
- Strong coupling techniques
- Multi-parton interactions in p-A and A-A collisions
- Proton-nucleus and lepton-nucleus complementarity
 
CONFERENCE ACCOMMODATION AND VENUE
 
The conference will be held in September 8-14 2013 in Illa da Toxa
(Galicia-Spain), a pleasant island joined to the mainland by a bridge. The
hotel Louxo, where 
the conference Hard Probes in 2008 was also held, is on the seashore. All
sessions, lunches and lodging for registered participants will take place
at the hotel.
 
The price of the rooms is 420 EUROS in a shared room or 620 EUROS in
individual room for the whole week. The price includes breakfast and
lunch. 
 
A CONFERENCE FEE OF 150 EUROS, including coffee breaks, social events,
proceedings, etc. is also requested. (A conference fee of 250 Euros will be
asked if registered after July 15th).
Please, register as soon as possible through the conference web page
