General Announcement
The following are the confirmed speakers and the subject of their talks:
| Gordon A. Baym | University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign | Recent developments in Bose-Einstein condensation |
| Jean-Paul Blaizot | Saclay | Quasiparticles and Infrared Physics in QED and QCD Plasmas |
| Fred Cooper | Los Alamos | Dileptons at RHIC from the nonequilibrium chiral phase transition: A quantum field theory approach . |
| Pawel Daniel Danielewicz | Michigan State University | Nonequilibrium Quantum Kinetics |
| Klaus Kinder-Geiger | Brookhaven National Laboratory | QCD Parton Cascade Dynamics |
| Gabor J. Kalman | Boston College | Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems |
| Dmitri Kharzeev | Riken BNL Research Center | The Charm of Nuclear Physics |
| Kazuo Kitahara | Tokyo Institute of Technology | Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics |
| Dimitri Kusnezov | Yale University | Open Questions in Non-Equilibrium Physics |
| T. D. Lee | Columbia | Opening Remarks and Non-Compact Lattice |
| Larry Dean McLerran | University of Minnesota | Classical Yang Mills dynamics |
| Berndt Muller | Duke | Color Chaos |
| Yang Pang | Columbia University / BNL | Covariant Transport Theories |
| Rob Pisarski | Brookhaven National Laboratory | Non-Abelian Debye Screening and the "Tsunami Wave" Problem |
| Dirk H. Rischke | Riken BNL Research Center | Instabilities and inhomogeneities in the early stage of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions |
| Edward Shuryak | SUNY-Stony Brook | The QCD phase transitions: from mechanism to observables |
| Paul Willis Terry | University of Wisconsin | Turbulent Plasmas |
| Frank Wilczek | Institute for Advanced Study | Color Superconductivity |
A major part of the theoretical activity at the RIKEN/BNL Center will be the study of the full spectrum of strong interaction physics based on QCD, including the physics of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, the parton structure of hadrons and nuclei, and the phenomenology of ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions related to the upcoming experiments at RHIC in a few years. The opportunities and challenges of nuclear and particle physics in this area naturally involve aspects of the many body problem common to many other fields. The aim of this symposium is to find common theoretical threads especially in the area of non-equilibrium phenomena and modern transport theories. The program will consist of invited talks on a wide spectrum of topics from the fields of solid state, plasma, astrophysics, cosmology, and chemistry in addition to nuclear and particle physics.

Travel Information
Please note that there is no public transportation available from local
hotels. The on-site apartment area is approximately a 20-30 minute walk from
Berkner Hall. The dorms are approximately a 5-10 minute walk away. If you
plan to stay in a hotel, or cannot walk to and from the apartment area, we
advise you to rent a car at the airport or request dormitory accommodations.
The Brookhaven cafeteria (located in Berkner Hall) is open for breakfast and
lunch and the Brookhaven Center is open for simple meals in the evening.
Both are within a 5-10 minute walk from the dorms.
If you are arriving via (rental) car from one of the New York airports, and
need a BNL approach map, please contact us via e-mail at rikenbnl@bnl.gov and
we will mail one out to you.
NOTE: NEWARK AIRPORT is in New Jersey and it is very inconvenient
to get here from there! And, extremely costly!
Limousine services available from JFK and LaGuardia airports to the
Brookhaven area are listed below. A reservation is suggested. If you would
like us to make a reservation for you, please include which airport, your
