From dgreen@fnal.gov Wed Jan 9 12:32:28 2008 Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2008 12:32:26 -0600 From: Dan Green To: 'R. Keith Ellis' , hcp08-iac@fnal.gov, hcp08-loc@fnal.gov Subject: RE: Draft program 2008-JAN-08 Dear Colleagues, This agenda looks very solid and comprehensive - good show. As you say the LHC experiments will choose their speakers. BTW, the CMS Chair of the Conference Committee is Bolek Wyslouch of MIT who should be your contact person. In general, I agree with the ordered list of speakers. It will be best to nail them down as soon as possible. Just a few nits to pick: S3.5 "Hard physics at RHIC" - ugly title, how about "High Pt Physics at RHIC" ? S5.1 How does one decide what is compelling? Perhaps another title could be found that doesn't rely on "taste"? S6.4 - I hope we can hear about TOF, dE/dx and other id techniques available in LHC experiments which are not normally discussed. Of course the usual id should be also featured. S7.6 by measurements do we mean "particle properties"? S8.3 - indeed you can get speakers from the LHC experiments. Ian Fisk was the CSA2007 leader, so CMS is covered. Cheers, Dan -----Original Message----- From: owner-hcp08-iac@listserv.fnal.gov [mailto:owner-hcp08-iac@listserv.fnal.gov] On Behalf Of R. Keith Ellis Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 11:31 AM To: hcp08-iac@fnal.gov; hcp08-loc@fnal.gov Subject: Draft program 2008-JAN-08 Dear Colleagues, Please find attached the latest draft of our program in which we have responded to your (sometimes incompatible) suggestions. In our choice of presentations we would like to favour younger speakers, whilst maintaining a judicious balance of geographic distribution, gender and experimental affiliation. In the attached program:- 1) The ordering of notations CDF/D0, ATLAS/CMS does not imply any priority. The CDF/D0 ambiguity will be resolved later, depending on how their analyses proceed. We expect the ATLAS/CMS ambiguity (S1.6,S2.3,S5.5,S5.6,S7.5,S7.6) to be resolved quickly, (maybe a phone call between Karl Jakobs and Paris Sphicas would suffice?) 2) Please feel free to make suggestions for all talks, although for experimental talks the speaker's bureaux of the experiments may impose other solutions. 3) Because of the difficulty last year with theory speakers, we would like to proceed quite quickly. I have provided preliminary ordered lists. 4) Your comments would be most useful if they arrived before Monday January 14th. Best wishes, Keith Ellis
