Parallel session speakers: :
- those who know already that they won't be able to reach Florence at any time in the week please contact their convenors and inform them and please be prepared to give their talks at the originally foreseen time;
- those who may have chances to reach Florencce, even though late, please contact their convenors to reschedule their talks.
Parallel session speakers: please contact your working group convenors;
People who booked their accomodation through our travel agency can write directly to hotels@scaramuzziteam.com, they are informed and will contact the hotels.
The week of the conference happens during the "Settimana della Cultura" a Firenze, which was recently announced. This means that many museums, including Uffizi, will be free of charge; we invite you to profit of it. This also means that the price of the Uffizi visit is reduced from 22 Euro to 12 euro. If you have still to pay, please pay directly 12 Euro per person. If you have already payed, you will be reimborsed of 10 euro starting from the Tuesday of the conference. The drawback is that the museum will be full, but we have a reservation and earphones to hear better the guide. We advice you not to bring many metal objects and to leave bags and laptop in the hotel, to avoid long checks at the entrance.
DIS 2010 is the 18th in the series of annual workshops on Deep-Inelastic Scattering (DIS) and Related Subjects. The aim of these workshops is to review the progress in the field of DIS and Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and to lay the groundwork for future experiments. DIS 2010 will cover the most recent results from HERA, JLab, RHIC, Tevatron and fixed-target experiments and from related theoretical topics, as well as the first results from the LHC experiments. Special emphasis will be put this year on the unity of the field from DIS to hadron colliders and notably on the crucial role played by the results from HERA and Tevatron towards understanding the new data coming from the LHC. DIS 2010 will be organized jointly by INFN, Università di Firenze and Università del Piemonte Orientale and will be held from the 19th to the 23st of April 2010 in the congress centre Convitto della Calza, 10 minutes walk from the centre of Florence.
Registrations are now open on the conference web site www.fi.infn.it/dis10. The deadline for the registration is March 31st 2010. Early registrants can
profit of the reduced conference fees until February 2nd 2010.
The deadline for the hotel booking through our travel agency is March 8th.
The DIS 2010 workshop is organized with a first day of plenary sessions,
three days of parallel sessions, with summaries on the last day. The program
of the plenary sessions is available on the conference web site.
There will be seven working groups:
I. Parton Densities from DIS and hadron colliders to LHC
II Small-x, diffraction and vector mesons in DIS and hadron colliders
III QCD final states in DIS and hadron colliders
IV Heavy Flavours in DIS and hadron colliders
V Electroweak and searches in DIS and hadron colliders
VI Spin physics
For requests of talks during the parallel sessions, the working group
convenors should be directly contacted (names and emails are available
on the conference web site).
