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.

This workshop will focus on two key areas of hadron structure: nucleon elastic electromagnetic form factors, including the quark flavor decomposition, and wide-angle Compton scattering on the proton.

The subject of structure of the nucleon demands theoretical developments in tandem with well thought and executed high precision experiments. This is more than ever true for the case of the three dimensional imaging of hadrons, a result of the complex dynamics described by QCD in building hadrons, in particular the nucleon.

The mass scale of neutrinos is one of the fundamental open questions in modern physics, with far-reaching implications from cosmology to particle physics.

The great originality of this workshop will therefore reside in its aim of gathering experts from the so-called “spin physics” and “heavy-ion” communities who are interested by novel quarkoniumrelated observables at colliders.

Spectroscopic investigations of nature have been essential in establishing the quark model and subsequently QCD. With the “second charm revolution” happening right now with the discovery and establishment of unusual states called X, Y, Z in the charm mass region and similar states observed containing bottom quarks a new window for getting insights into the strong interaction has opened up.
