SaporeGravis is a networking of the
I3 Hadron Physics program
of the EU 7th FP.
SaporeGravis is the natural continuation of the
ReteQuarkonii networking.
SaporeGravis aims at studying the production of onpen heavy flavour and quarkonia in hadronic collisions at ultra relativistic energies. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is opening new possibilities for studying the properties of the strongly interacting matter at high temperature and for studying non-perturbative features of QCD. Quarkonia and open heavy flavours will be abundantly produced and correlations with other global observables of the heavy ion collision like centrality and/or reaction plane will allow for studying the properties of the QGP phases. At such high-energy hadronic collisions, Quarkonia will also be abundantly produced in diffractive and electromagnetic processes including both diffractive pomeron- and photon- induced quarkonium production. About 27 research groups of 12 different countries participate to the
SaporeGravis project.
SaporeGravis will organize one training school for phD and two conferences between experimentalists and theorists, and it will work on a comprehensive review of the first data obtaned at the LHC and RHIC in the last 5 years about quarkonia and open heavy flavours. The duration of the
SaporeGravis project is 36 months, starting on January 1st 2012 (end December 31th 2014).
