RHIC Physics and Beyond:
Kay Kay Gee Day

Klaus Kinder-Geiger, an Associate Scientist in the Nuclear Theory Group, perished tragically in the crash of Swissair Flight 111 on September 2, 1998.

The BNL press release.

Klaus was both an extraordinary physicist as well as a remarkable human being. This is evident from his home page.

A workshop on

"RHIC Physics and Beyond: Kay Kay Gee Day",

to be held in memorium to Klaus, will be held at Brookhaven National Lab. on October 23, 1998.
