Physics of vector meson and identified particles at RHIC

January 25-26, LBNL


Topics to be discussed:

1) Stopping/baryon charge transport:
   - net proton, Lambda, Cascade
      Huang, Kai, Hui, Fuqiang, Peter, ...

2) Early pressure gradient:
   - v2 of k0, k*, phi, Lambda
    Paul, Jinghua, Eugene, Kirill, Feng, Sergei, Raimond, Frank, Haibin,... 

3) Spectra and yields
   - Collective expansion and equilibrium (chemical and thermal)
     Masashi, Nu, Zhangbu, Hui, An, Haibin, Patricia, ...
