DIMUONnet

• Framework European community network (duration
  2004-2007)
• Purpose address the future experimental
  activity at the CERN/LHC in the field of heavy
  quarkonia and open flavor production in heavy-ion
  collisions.
• Spokesman Ermanno Vercellin
• Seven participating institutes from 2 countries
  (Italy France)
• Actions
• One workshop per year
• 1st workshop in Clermont-Ferrand (2004)
• 2nd workshop in Nantes (2005)
• Exchange of (young) physicists (in out
  DIMUONnet)
• Involvement of theoreticians
