Workshop on Photoproduction at collider energies:
from RHIC and HERA to LHC

ECT* - Trento, January 15-19, 2007

the workshop aims at discussing the physics, experimental results, and perspectives on photon-induced processes at HERA (ep), RHIC (electromagnetic aka. "ultraperipheral" AA), Tevatron (gamma-p,pbar, gamma-gamma), and LHC (ultraperipheral AA, photon-photon collisions in pp, ...)

talks and discussions will be organized around the following main topics:

• Overview theoretical and experimental talks on photoproduction at RHIC, HERA, Tevatron, and prospects for LHC.
• Inclusive and exclusive photoproduction at HERA (dijets, heavy-quarks, vector mesons, ...).
• Vector-meson and hard- photoproduction in ultraperipheral (UPC) ion-ion at RHIC and LHC, with emphasis on the high gluon density regime at small-x in the nucleus.
• Photoproduction in ppbar,pp collisions at Tevatron and LHC.
• Two-photon processes (tests of QED in strong field regime in UPC, pp luminosity tool at LHC, triple and quartic gauge coupling gamma-gamma studies ...).

the workshop will take place in the ECT* (European Center for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas) located in Trento (Trentino, Italy)
