Future of Jets, Heavy Flavor, and EM Probes at RHIC and RHIC II

Exciting results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have been presented at this Workshop. However, fundamental questions remain to be addressed in the future regarding whether the system is deconfined, chiral symmetry is restored, a color glass condensate exists in the initial state, and how the system evolves through eventual hadronization. Jets, heavy flavors and electromagnetic probes are sensitive to the initial high density stage of RHIC collisions, and should provide new insight. Significant additional capabilities will be added with a luminosity upgrade of RHIC (to RHIC II), upgrades of present detectors and a possible, new comprehensive detector at RHIC II.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, 2 tables, Proceedings of the 21st Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics, Breckenridge, Colorado, February 5--12, 200

Open charm production in deep inelastic scattering at next-to-leading order at HERA

An introduction and overview of charm production in deep inelastic scattering at HERA is given. The existing next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations are then reviewed, and key results are summarized. Finally, comparisons are made with the most recent HERA data, and unresolved issues are highlighted.Comment: 13 pages, 7 Postscript figures, lecture given at the Ringberg Workshop on ``New Trends in HERA Physics 1999'

EPIC Results from ALICE

An overview is presented of the recent heavy ion results from the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. These new results are placed in perspective with those from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider experiments.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, EPIC@LHC - International Workshop on Early Physics with Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC; Published by American Institute of Physics (AIP) in the Conference Proceedings Series (2011
