98. Heavy Ion physics with the CMS experiment at the LHC

Bolek Wyslouch (MIT)

4/8/15, 9:05 AM

invited talk

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN collected data with proton-proton, proton-lead ion and lead-lead ion at highest energies available in the laboratory. The physics program of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment includes the studies of heavy ion collisions. The high energies available at the LHC allowed us to conduct high statistics studies of the hot and dense system with hard probes:...

9. Transverse single-spin asymmetries in single-inclusive hard scattering processes

Daniel Pitonyak (RIKEN BNL Research Center)

4/8/15, 9:35 AM

invited talk

Transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSAs), denoted A_N, in single-inclusive hard scattering processes are fundamental observables to test perturbative QCD that have been around for almost 40 years. However, many open issues remain as to the origin of TSSAs. Currently two theoretical formalisms are widely used: collinear twist-3 (CT3) factorization and the Generalized Parton Model (GPM). We...

15. The Proton Radius - Old Measurements and New Ideas

Prof. Guy Ron (Hebrew University of Jerusalem)

4/8/15, 10:05 AM

invited talk

The radius of the proton, generally assumed to be a well measured and understood quantity has recently come under scrutiny due to highly precise, yet conflicting,experimental results. These new results have generated a host of interpretations, none of which are completely satisfactory. I will discuss the existing results, focusing on the discrepancy between the various extractions. I will...
