Workshops

This workshop addresses QED and QCD processes for which data have recently become available in pp, pA and AA-collisions at the ongoing RHIC and LHC programmes.

This workshop will gather a group of experts to discuss significant developments, identify new goals, and plan the next steps forward in strong QCD

This workshop will bring together the leading theorists and experimentalist in the field to merge and continue larger scale efforts towards this goal.

The research area of the workshop is the physics of open quantum systems (OQS). These are systems strongly influenced by the coupling to an environment. This topic is common to various fields of physics (e.g. nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics, mesoscopic physics, quantum optics) in which experimental and theoretical developments are currently being carried out worldwide.

The workshop aims at exploring in-depth the current status and upcoming prospects in the determination of the QCD coupling constant alpha_S(m_Z) from the key observables where high precision measurements and theoretical calculations are (or will be) available: lattice QCD, hadronic decays of tau leptons, deep-inelastic electron-proton scattering and global parton density analyses, QCD corrections to electroweak precision observables, and analysis of hadronic final states in high energy particle collisions (e+e-, ep, and pp).

The goal of the workshop is to provide a platform for an open discussion of the potential to search for New Physics in heavy ion collision

The STRANU workshop will focus on the recent results, developments and open questions in the low-energy strangeness physics sector and related areas.

This workshop will help to coordinate the various efforts within the community and to foster collaborations between experts working on the many aspects of neutron-star astrophysics

The workshop intends to discuss existing results in nuclear astrophysics and to identify key reactions for which the stable and RIB facilities need to assess information of interest for nuclear astrophysics.
