Exploring Centauro-Strangelet Physics at LHC Workshop: QCD at Cosmic Energies

Join the "QCD at Cosmic Energies" workshop in Erice from 29/8 to 5/9/2004 by Apostolos D. Panagiotou from University of Athens. Discover Centauro event experimental characteristics and the unique phenomena of exotic Centauro-Strangelet events. The workshop will delve into event fragmentation, high pT energies, and nuclear collision studies. Learn about the CASTOR detector and the simulation of Strangelet passage through reading units. Explore the potential of observing and analyzing exotic Centauro-Strangelet events at the Large Hadron Collider.
