Week 1
| Start Time | Presentation Title | Discussion Lead | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Welcome to the INT and Introductions | C421 | ||
| HBT: The HBT signal for the EOS softest point has been measured. Can we interpret it? What further analyses or calculations are needed? | H. Caines, Y. Khyzniak, G. Nigmatkulov | C421 | |
| Coffee Break | C421 | ||
| EM PROBES: Is it possible to see the EOS softest point from EM probes measured by STAR? How reliable are comparisons to theory? | Y. Akamatsu, L. Du, L. Ruan | C421 | |
| Lunch break | |||
| Afternoon discussion | C423 |
| Start Time | Presentation Title | Discussion Lead | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| FLOW IN THE COLLIDER REGION: The change in the sign of dv1/dy has been observed. Do we understand its dynamical origin? How can we interpret this signal? | L. Du, H. Huang, I. Karpenko, R. Seto, M. Singh | C421 | |
| Coffee Break | C421 | ||
| LOWER-ORDER FLUCTUATIONS (EXP): What can we learn from the measurements? What remains to be understood? | H. Caines, R. Manikandhan, P. Sorensen, A. Rustamov | C421 | |

| Coffee break | C421 | ||
| LOWER-ORDER FLUCTUATIONS FSS: Finite-size scaling of net proton susceptibility has been observed. What does it imply? Can it be interpreted as a CP signal? | G. Kovacs, L. McLerran, A. Sorensen, P. Sorensen | C421 | |

| Afternoon discussion | C423 |
| Start Time | Presentation Title | Discussion Lead | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| FLOW IN THE FXT REGION: Origin of flow, NCQ scaling, v3: Do we understand flow measurements in the FXT region? Can we control the modeling uncertainties? | T. Reichert, R. Seto, A. Sorensen | C421 | |
| Coffee Break | C421 | ||
| CLUSTERS: Enhanced cluster yields have been observed: How can we interpret them? What are the confounding factors? | D. DeMartini, H. Huang, C.-M. Ko | C421 | |
| Lunch break | |||

| OVERVIEW: Intriguing measurements come from the BES collider region, but recent theory predictions point to the FXT region. How can we understand this? | TBD | C421 | |
| Coffee break | C421 | ||
| OVERVIEW: There are other interesting and unexplained measurements, e.g., involving strangeness. Should we be paying attention to additional observables? | TBD | C421 | |
