Scientific Agenda

The Annual RHIC & AGS Users' Meeting will be held on June 11–14, 2024. The meeting will highlight the latest results from the PHENIX, STAR and sPHENIX experiments and provide an outlook with the future programs at RHIC and the EIC. Workshops that will be held on Tuesday, June 11 and Wednesday, June 12 will enable more in-depth discussions of the following topics:
  • Beam Energy Scan
  • Computing, Machine Learning, & AI
  • Heavy Flavor & Quarkonia
  • Jets
  • Spin Physics, Cold QCD, & UPCs
  • Flow & Vorticity
  • Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
There will be an in-person poster session on Thursday, June 13. Plenary sessions will be held on Thursday, June 13 and Friday, June 14. Reports on operation status from the sPHENIX and STAR experiments and highlights from PHENIX, sPHENIX and STAR experiments, EIC detectors, reports from representatives from the funding agencies, and award ceremonies will be held during the plenary sessions.
