High density QCD effects are expected to become more and more relevant when the energy or the atomic number of the colliding hadrons is increased. The experimental program at the LHC includes proton-proton collisions at 14 TeV and lead-lead collisions at 5.5 TeV in center of mass. High density and high temperature QCD has been the object of a long experimental search in heavy-ion collisions at CERN/SPS and RHIC in BNL.

The Auger experiment is designed to measured cosmic rays with energies two orders of magnitude larger than those available at the LHC. One of the main uncertainties in the interpretation of the results is the dependence on the hadronic models.

The workshop wil bring together theorists and experimentalist interested in the problem of high-density QCD and the corresponding observable effects at the LHC and in Cosmic Rays.

It will take place at the Facultade de Física, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela in February 2nd-4th 2009.
