A New State of Matter : results from the CERN Lead Beam Programme
*      *      *     *      *
On 10 February at 9:30 (local time) you are invited to follow online the
above seminar in CERN's Council Chamber via webcasting on URL :

http://webcast.cern.ch/live.html 

(click on the link "A new state of matter") 

There will also be a recording of this webcast which will be available
from the page :
http://webcast.cern.ch/Archive/Seminars/Special
as from 15:00 local time.

This special seminar aims at an assessment of the results from the heavy
ion programme with lead ion beams at CERN which was started in 1994.  A
series of talks will cover the essential experimental findings and their
interpretation in terms of the creation of a new state of matter at
about 20 times the energy density inside atomic nuclei. The data provide
evidence for colour deconfinement in the early collision stage and for a
collective explosion of the collision fireball in its late stages. The
new state of matter exhibits many of the characteristic features of the
theoretically predicted Quark-Gluon Plasma. 

Programme of the seminar (20min talk + 10min questions)
Speakers are :

Ulrich Heinz
Making Quark-Gluon Matter in Relativistic Nuclear Collisions

Louis Kluberg (IN2P3)
The J/psi suppression pattern observed in Pb-Pb collisions ions: a
signature for the production of a new state of matter.

Johanna Stachel (University of Heidelberg)
Virtual and real photons radiated by the cooling and hadronizing fireball.

Reinhard Stock (University of Frankfurt)
Hadron Signals of the Little Bang.

Emanuele Quercigh (University of Padua)
Strange signals of a new state of matter from nuclear collisions at SPS.

Luciano Maiani (Director General)
