High Energy Strong Interactions 2010
— Parton Distributions and Dense QCD Matter —
Proceedings of the YIPQS International Workshop
Ed. by K. Itakura, H. Fujii, K. Fukushima, Y. Hatta, Y. Hidaka and H. Kawamura
This volume contains the proceedings for the YITP International
Symposium ``High Energy Strong Interactions 2010'', held August
9-13, 2010, at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP)
in Kyoto, Japan. This symposium was organized as a part
of a five-week workshop entitled ``High Energy Strong Interactions
2010 — Parton Distributions and Dense QCD Matter —'', from
July 26 to August 27, 2010. The proceedings include contributions
of the invited speakers at the symposium, notes of lectures given
at the pre-symposium school, and information about the workshop,
including a list of participants and the titles of talks given at
the workshop.
Research on high-energy hadron scattering has a long history
starting even before the advent of the fundamental theory,
quantum chromodynamics (QCD). However, importance of the
physics of high-energy scattering in particular from the
viewpoint of QCD is getting more and more increased in
relation to high-energy experiments such as the Relativistic
Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL, the Hadron Electron Ring
Accelerator (HERA) at DESY, Tevatron at FNAL, and the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The purpose of this
workshop/symposium was to summarize what we have learned so
far about high-energy QCD from the data obtained from these
experiments.
The topics discussed in the workshop/symposium include the
following:
(1) Structure Functions and Spin Physics:
Polarized and unpolarized parton distributions,
TMD distribution/fragmentation, higher-twist effects,
generalized parton distribution, low-x physics and saturation
(2) Heavy-Ion Collisions:
Hard probes, jet quenching, color glass condensate,
multiparticle correlations, initial conditions and thermalization
mechanisms
(3) Non-Perturbative Approaches:
AdS/CFT and holographic QCD applications, phenomenological models,
lattice QCD simulations
During the five weeks, 102 registered participants took part in the
program. There were 42 talks given at the workshop and 32 talks given
at the symposium, as well as 3 lectures given at the pre-symposium
school. In particular, the highlights from all six experimental
collaborations of LHC, namely ALICE, CMS, ATLAS, LHCb, LHCf, TOTEM,
were reported and discussed during the symposium week, for the first
time in Japan.
