Spin Physics in Nuclear Reactions and Nuclei
Plenary Sessions (for INVITED PLENARY TALKS only!)
Spin is an intrinsic and quantum property of all particles that we know of, including the elementary particles of the standard model, as well as composite particles, such as nucleons and nuclei that make up essentially all the visible matter in the universe. Without the spin, our world would not be the same as what we have seen and lived in. In this talk, I will briefly review the spin...

Polarized Ion and Lepton Sources and Targets
Plenary Sessions (for INVITED PLENARY TALKS only!)
I will discuss the role of polarized solid targets in particle physics from their inception in 1962 to the present day. I will present the developments, such as cryogenic improvements and better materials, that have contributed to our better understanding of the physical processes involved in particle scattering. Examples of current efforts will be given.

Fundamental Symmetries and Spin Physics Beyond the Standard Model
Plenary Sessions (for INVITED PLENARY TALKS only!)
The Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics is not capable to account for the apparent matter-antimatter asymmetry of our Universe. Physics beyond the SM is required and is either probed by employing highest energies (e.g., at LHC), or by striving for ultimate precision and sensitivity (e.g., in the search for electric dipole moments). Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of particles...

Spin Physics in Nuclear Reactions and Nuclei
Plenary Sessions (for INVITED PLENARY TALKS only!)
One of the primary goals of nuclear physics is to describe nuclei and their dynamics in terms of interactions between nuclear constituents.
In addition, high-precision experimental data and sophisticated theoretical calculations are very important for other research fields such astrophysics and neutrino physics.
In this talk, three topics will be discussed by comparing experimental data...

3D Structure of the Nucleon: TMDs
Plenary Sessions (for INVITED PLENARY TALKS only!)
In the last decade, new Transverse Momentum Dependent parton distributions and fragmentation functions have been introduced to account for the complexity of the hadron structure, taking into account the parton transverse degrees of freedom. In parallel, new channels of investigation have been developed such as, in DIS, the study of semi-inclusive deep-inelastic-scattering reactions, where...

The NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) is the new international research facility under the constructing at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna). The main targets of the facility are: study of hot and dense baryonic matter over the energy range of the maximum baryonic density; investigation of nucleon spin structure and polarization phenomena; and the development of...

Plenary Sessions (for INVITED PLENARY TALKS only!)
The ep elastic scattering experiment used to extract a parity-violating asymmetry at Q2=0.0248 (GeV/c)2 will be described. The precision obtained on the final result is ยฑ9.3 ppb- the most precise ep asymmetry ever measured. Some of the backgrounds and corrections applied in the experiment will be explained and quantified, and some of the experimental challenges will be described.

Application of Nuclear Polarization Techniques to Other Fields
Plenary Sessions (for INVITED PLENARY TALKS only!)
Hyperpolarization by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) can increase magnetic resonance (MR) sensitivity by several orders of magnitude offering the opportunity to perform real-time in vivo MR imaging (MRI) experiments [1,2]. Numerous preclinical applications have demonstrated the enormous potential of hyperpolarized 13C MRI for in vivo metabolic imaging and several research hospitals are...

With the tantalizing search of the phase space available for supersymmetric particles turning out empty handed, we are on the verge of new profound paradigm changing discoveries where the strong interactions sector is once again taking on a leading role.
I will discuss deeply virtual exclusive processes as probes for the next frontier that will allow us to access dynamically correlated...

New physics frontiers can be opened by using internal gas targets at the LHC. The various collision systems like pp, pA and PbA at energies varying from โs_NN=72 GeV to โs=115 GeV, and the implicit forward kinematic of the collisions, make accessible a broad programme of measurements, from the large-x frontier for particle and astroparticle physics to spin and heavy-ion physics. A first step...

Plenary Sessions (for INVITED PLENARY TALKS only!)
Conventional wisdom suggests that new particles should exist as part of highly anticipated Standard Model extensions. Further, the discovery tool is expected to be an energy-frontier collider, where new particles are produced directly among the debris of the highest-energy pp collisions. The Higgs discovery affirmed this technique; although it has not signaled new physics (yet), it...

Acceleration, Storage and Polarimetry of Polarized Beams
Plenary Sessions (for INVITED PLENARY TALKS only!)
The possibility of electrons becoming polarized in an uniform field was
predicted in the early 60s by Loskutov, Korovina, Sokolov and Ternov
(Sokolov-Ternov effect of radiative polarization).
The very first observation of beam self-polarization followed in 1968 at
ACO in Orsay and confirmed at Novosibirsk

However in particular at high energy, e+-- polarization is not...

Plenary Sessions (for INVITED PLENARY TALKS only!)
Three decades ago it became that the simple quark model approach for the proton failed in describing the spin structure โ the spin contribution from quarks, as measured by the European Muon Collaboration (EMC), came out small, by far insufficient to explain the proton spin of 1/2. The experiment utilized the polarized muon beam from CERNโs SPS, which is naturally polarized originating from the...

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). A US-based facility capable of colliding high-energy polarized electron and ion beams at high luminosity has been envisaged for a long time and articulated...

Pion photoproduction and Compton scattering are powerful tools
to precisely determine the nucleon structure, thus providing
very stringent tests for all non-perturbative QCD models.

The remarkable result, from the measurements of spin asymmetry in
polarized deep inelastic scattering by the EMC collaboration, that the
sum of the spins of the quarks contributes less than half of the total
spin of the proton lay down the challenge to explain this โproton spin
crisisโ from QCD. I will show that calculations of the required
matrix elements using Lattice QCD are now in a...

The coherent manipulation of individual quantum degrees of freedom, such as single spins, was long considered to be possible only in thought experiments. At the end of last century this became routine in labs around the world, opening up new possibilities for technological applications. Pseudospins associated to electronic states in single trapped atoms or to quantum electronic circuits can be...
