8. Current thinking on Invited Session and Workshops Invited Session (3 talks) Nuclear Physics in “Southern” California: Possible talks include  13 (first results available ?) New measurements testing SM* LHC/RHIC results and comparisons *- does energy scale make a difference? - (Post QM 2012, there will be many new results. PC may want a dedicated heavy ion session) Nuclear physics and the Stars laser accel homeland security Workshops (choose 3) Understanding the Nature of Unstable Isotopes Status and Future Prospects of Underground Physics Goals: Probing the New Standard Model* New results, from LHC/RHIC* Heavy Ions, note: Quark Matter is 3 rd wk August 2012, - will need to coordinate with PC * related invited talk and workshop (invited talk is not a summary of workshop )

11. Workshop possibilities Status and Future Prospects of Underground Physics Goals: Deep underground laboratories are unique venues for experiments that require minimal influence from cosmic muons. The aims of this workshop are to survey the exciting experimental and theoretical programs that address far-reaching problems in nuclear physics and beyond at such facilities. Topics in neutrino physics, nuclear astrophysics and related experiments at underground laboratories will be explored. Probing the New Standard Model Goals: Nuclear physics will play important roles in defining the new Standard Model. Precision measurements of electroweak phenomena, searches for electric dipole moments and neutrinoless double-beta decay, and studies of fundamental symmetries are crucial elements in this endeavor. The aims of this workshop are to review the present status and future prospects of these measurements and their impacts to the new Standard Model. And Here be Dragons: Understanding the Nature of Unstable Isotopes Goals of the workshop: Summarize key activities of ongoing low-energy nuclear structure and reactions research aimed at elucidating the nature of unstable nuclei. Highlight the overarching questions to be addressed by this research and issues to be resolved in the context of this work. Both theory and experiment will be covered. Heavy Ions - post QM 2012 Heavy Ions (will be many new results) Jets, quarkonia, heavy flavor, energy scan Theory RHIC/Spin Longitudinal - primarily results from 500GeV run: A_L (W) and A_LL for DeltaG. Transverse (500 and 200GeV) - STAR FMS, PHENIX MPC results Possibly also pQCD theory talk. Global analysis and/or transverse phenomena
