– Flagship studies at AFTER

Morning 2 : physics in pp and pd collisions

– Gluon pdf reach in the proton and neutron
– Heavy-quark content in the nucleon
– W/Z production, Drell-Yan process

Morning 3 : spin physics

– Anomalous Single Spin Asymmetries
– Single Spin Asymmetries with gluon sensitive probes
– Asymmetries with final state polarisation
– Target polarisation

Morning 4 : cold and hot nuclear matter studies

– Nuclear matter studies in pA nucleus
– Quest for quarkonium sequential suppression
– Ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions from the perspective of the target rapidity domain

Morning 5 : semi-diffractive physics, forward heavy-baryon production

– Ultra-peripheral collisions
