Description
co-host: Ian Cloët and Dave Gaskell
Understanding the properties of nuclear matter and its emergence through the underlying partonic structure and dynamics of quarks and gluons requires a new experimental facility in hadronic physics known as the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The EIC will address some of the most profound questions concerning the emergence of nuclear properties by precisely imaging gluons and quarks inside...
Collisions of heavy ions at ultrarelativistic energies at RHIC and at the LHC are an excellent tool to reach extreme temperatures and/or baryon densities, where the QCD matter undergoes a phase transition to a state of deconfined quarks and gluons, called the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). One of the many probes which can provide insight into the properties of this medium, are measurements of...
The vast majority of hadrons are not stable with respect to the strong interactions, and are seen as resonant enhancements in the scattering amplitudes of the lightest stable hadrons. Recent developments have enabled the determination of hadron resonance properties from lattice QCD, a first-principles approach whereby finite volume spectra are computed numerically, that are then used to...
Precision tests of the Standard Model provide excellent opportunities to discover beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) physics. The current experimental program is very rich encompassing searches for CP-violation, probes of the Majorana nature of neutrinos, to the stability of atomic nuclei. The interpretation of this program requires a solid understanding of how BSM physics, typically written at...
