Past Workshops

The aim of the meeting is to present and discuss the new results from the LHC related to QCD, namely on forward physics and diffraction and the study of heavy ion runs (ion-ion and proton-ion) at the LHC. The relation with cosmic ray physics will be also developed. The timing of the workshop (after Summer 2016) will be particularly well suited with respect to the LHC schedule, since many results at the new energy of 13 TeV will appear towards this time and will be ready to be discussed.

The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the fundamental issues related to protonneutron pairing and alpha-type correlations in nuclei from the perspective of the most recent studies.

The workshop “Testing the limitations of the quantum superposition principle in nuclear, atomic and optomechanical systems”, will bring together world-leading experts working on the exploration of the boundaries of quantum theory in various systems (nuclear, atomic, optical, and optomechanical ones), and interested in ascertaining its validity at macroscopic scales.

The purpose of this workshop is to review future directions in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model and novel probes of nucleon structure using parity-violating electron scattering.

An explanation has long been lacking for the apparent dominance of baryons over antibaryons in the Universe. In a groundbreaking paper, Sakharov proposed that the asymmetry is due to particle physics in the early Universe, and characterized the ingredients required for successful baryogenesis: Not only must sufficient B and CP violation exist to make baryogenesis possible, but also required is a departure from thermal equilibrium during a relevant period of the Universe's history.

Recently there has been a renaissance in the study of statistical reactions involving various experimental probes, showing in many cases behavior in violation of long-held tenets of the theory. 

We propose a workshop to review the status of and stimulate progress in resolving the proton radius puzzle", the disagreement between measurements of the proton radius using ep and p systems.

In low-energy nuclear physics increasing attention is devoted to revising the relationship between structure and reaction observables. On the one hand, several theoretical nuclear structure schemes are extending their reach to scattering observables and reaction theory.

The Workshop aims to bring together researchers actively involved in the investigation of the equation of state in a variety of quantum many-body systems ranging from ultra-cold atoms, nuclear matter and high-pressure hydrogen.

Recent advances in experimental techniques with cold atomic gases, new measurements of the quark-gluon plasma at LHC as well as expected new measurements of compact astrophysical objects with X-ray and gravitational wave detectors call for a more quantitative understanding of dynamical properties of strongly interacting many-body systems.
