This Pan-American Advanced Institute course will involve approximately 40 graduate students from the Americas funded by US-program in a two-week presentation of introductory material and current research results in this rapidly developing field. Further students are expected to attend funded by local and/or their research programs.

The scientific program will include approximately 10 primary lecturers who present the basic material with additional researchers giving seminars on specialized research results.

The interaction among students and researchers should help in laying the groundwork for future collaborations: all students and lecturers will be housed in a unique conference venue and all activities of the school will be jointly undertaken. Lecturers are strongly encouraged to spend the entire period of the course on site.

Courses will span the field from the very elementary and introductory material through the latest theoretical and experimental research results obtained at RHIC and CERN/SPS.

Courses
E+T: Quarks and hadron structure T: Quantum Chromodynamics 
E: Accelerators, detectors, and experimental methods T: Vacuum structure 
E: RHIC: physics program overview T: Relativistic gases
E: Hadronic particles production T: QCD at finite temperature 
E: J/psi, photons, and dilepton production T: Transport theory and hydrodynamics 
E: CERN overview: new phase of matter T: Partons and heavy ions
E+T: HBT, correlations, and fluctuations T: Strangeness and hadronic observables of QGP 
E: RHIC: latest results of run II T: J/psi, onium, photons, and dilepton production
R: QGP in astrophysics and cosmology R: QCD based effective theories of nuclear interactions

There will be additional seminars on current research topics
T=Theory, E=Experiment, R=Review

Visit our Brazilian travel agency partner.

We are expecting all participants on Monday morning, January 7 2002 at the international airport in Sao Paulo, and will offer bus transportation to the location of the institute.

In the late afternoon of January 7 we plan a self-introduction -2 minute- session. Every participant is invited to present a transparency with personal details, research involvement etc. This will be followed by reception/dinner.

We expect that Sunday January 13 will not have a scientific program and we hope to be able to offer an excursion.

The meeting will close after lunch on Friday, January 18. In the afternoon we will provide bus transportation to the airports in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.
