13th International Conference on Elastic & Diffractive Scattering
(13th "Blois Workshop")

CERN, 29th June - 3rd July 2009


overview

the conference aims at discussing the physics of high-energy hadronic interactions with focus on:
elastic and total hadron-hadron cross sections, soft/hard diffractive collisions, central-exclusive processes, photon-induced collisions, low-x QCD and heavy-ions, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.

organization

talks and discussions, both experimental and theoretical, will be organized around the following sessions:

  • status of LHC (1/2 day)
  • elastic and total scattering (1/2 day)
  • soft diffraction (1/2 day)
  • hard diffraction (1/2 day)
  • central exclusive production & new physics with rapidity gaps (1/2 day)
  • discussion session on experimental techniques in forward physics (1/2 day)
  • low-x QCD & heavy-ions (1/2 day)
  • photon-induced physics (1/4 day)
  • cosmic-rays (1/4 day)

venue

the workshop will take place at CERN (Council Chamber, Bldg 503)
