In this presentation, I will discuss selected highlights in electromagnetic hadron physics since the last edition of EINN held remotely in 2021
I give a broad overview of recent theory developments and open questions for a subset of topics discussed at this conference. The focus lies on different ways of 'imaging' the nucleon, from form factors to parton distributions.
The Muon g$-$2 experiment at Fermilab aims to measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_\mu = (g-2)/2$, with a final accuracy of 140 parts per billion, representing one of the most precise tests of the Standard Model. The experiment's first result from the 2018 dataset, Run 1, was published in 2021 and confirmed the previous result obtained at Brookhaven National Laboratory with a...
Over twenty years ago, in an experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory, physicists detected what seemed to be a discrepancy between measurements of the muon’s magnetic moment and theoretical calculations of what that measurement should be, raising the tantalizing possibility of physical particles or forces as yet undiscovered. The Fermilab team has announced 2021 and then in 2023 that their...
Heavy quarkonium production serves as a powerful tool to investigate the gluonic structure of the nucleon. The latest generation of experiments being conducted at Jefferson Lab in the 12 GeV era use near-threshold J/ψ production to explore the mass structure of the nucleon. In this presentation, I will focus on both current and forthcoming experiments aimed at unraveling the proton’s gluonic...
The Mainz Energy-Recovery Superconducting Accelerator MESA, currently under construction at the Institute of Nuclear Physics at Mainz, provides the basis for precision experiments in the areas of nuclear, hadron, and particle physics. In this talk, we report on the comprehensive physics program of the three fixed-target experiments prepared for MESA: (i) MAGIX, (ii) P2, and (iii) DarkMESA....
Dark matter exploration is become a central or side topic of many experiments at particle accelerators. Even if this approach, up-to-now, has not produced evidences, it helped in setting stringent limits on the characteristics of dark matter.
In this panorama is inserted the Positron Annihilation into Dark Matter Experiment (PADME) ongoing at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN....
A summary of experimental measurements unveiling spin-dependent nucleon structure prior to the arrival of the Electron-Ion Collider is given. Results from fixed-target experiments at Jefferson Lab, CERN, and DESY and collider experiments from RHIC will be presented. The measurements will be discussed in the context of transverse proton or parton spin and transverse parton momenta (TMDs), and...
In the first part of the talk, I will review the recent progress on nucleon parton distributions in the global QCD analysis. In the second part, I will discuss the important role of epistemic uncertainties on PDFs in the increasingly common situation when other experimental and theoretical uncertainties are small. The AI techniques may complicate, rather than simplify, estimation of such...
In this talk, I will report on recent progress in Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of electron and neutrino interactions with nuclei in a wide range of energy and momentum transfer and their connections to current experimental efforts in fundamental symmetries and neutrino physics.
Over the last decades, tremendous progress has been made in understanding the 3D partonic structure of strongly-interacting systems like the nucleon in terms of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and transverse-momentum-dependent parton distributions (TMDs). In this presentation, we briefly describe the status of this field and highlight some recent developments.
Fragmentation functions describe the formation of confined, final state hadrons out of asymptotically-free, high-energetic partons. They therefore help us understand the process of confinement. Additionally, they are also the most important tool to learn about the flavor, spin and transverse momentum of the fragmenting partons and thus access the corresponding parton distribution functions in...
Many interactions with nuclei can be described in terms of convolutions of universal parton distributions. These parton distributions describe the way quarks and gluons conspire to create the hadrons. Over the past decade these distributions have been inferred from matrix elements calculating with Lattice QCD. These matrix elements are similar convolutions of the parton distribution as cross...
AMBER is a new fixed-target experiment at the CERN/SPS for the study of
Hadron Physics, thanks to a versatile beamline capable of providing muon and hadron beams over a wide energy range and a multipurpose modular spectrometer. The emergence of hadron mass phenomenom, central for our undertanding of QCD, can be experimentally addressed from the AMBER measurements of hadron radii,...
The Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) paradigm has profoundly renewed the understanding of the nucleon structure. As describing the correlations between partons, GPDs allow us to access static and dynamical information about the nucleon structure, ultimately learning about the mechanics of Quantum Chromodynamics. This comprises the total angular momentum of the nucleon carried by the...
The polarizabilities of a composite system such as the proton are elementary structure constants. They describe its response to an external electromagnetic (EM) field and quantify the deformation of the charge and magnetization distributions inside the proton caused by the electric or magnetic field, respectively. When studied through the virtual Compton scattering process, the virtuality of...
The STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider has recently released findings regarding exclusive coherent and incoherent photoproduction of $J/\psi$ mesons in Au+Au ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs). In this talk, I will delve into the preliminary findings and examine how they influence our understanding of nuclear parton density within heavy nuclei and the event-by-event density...
Machine learning and AI are rapidly growing areas of research offering various avenues for exploration in high-energy nuclear physics. Novel tools including generative modeling, regression, and classification are poised to have a significant impact on theoretical and experimental research efforts. In this talk, I will review recent progress in the context of hadron structure, spin physics,...
Different parts of the QCD phase diagram in the plane temperature - baryon density are expected
to be relevant for early stages of the Universe, neutron stars, heavy ion collision experiments.
From theoretical point of view a lot of information about the QCD phase diagram and QCD thermodynamics
can be extracted using lattice ab-initio methods. In this talk I present an overview of
the...
Quantum computing is rapidly emerging as a new method of scientific computing. It has the potential to solve problems much faster than it is possible with classical computers. Examples are applications in logistics, drug design, medicine finances and many more. In addition, with quantum computers problems can be tackled that are very hard or even impossible to address with classical...
The study of baryonic excited states provides fundamental information on the internal structure of the nucleon and on the degrees of freedom that are relevant for QCD at low energies. N* are composite states and are sensitive to details of the how quarks are confined. Meson photo-and electro-production reactions have provided complementary information on light quark baryon spectroscopy for...
We present a data-driven analysis of the S-wave $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi$ and $\pi K \to \pi K$ reactions using the partial-wave dispersion relation. The contributions from the left-hand cuts are accounted for in a model-independent way using the Taylor expansion in a suitably constructed conformal variable. The fits are performed to experimental and lattice data. Our central result is the hadronic...
The US Nuclear Physics community recently completed its Long Range Plan process. The US Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC), a federal advisory committee appointed jointly by the US Department of Energy, Office of Science, and Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, the US National Science Foundation, approved the 2023 Long Range Plan "A New Era of Discovery - 2023 Long Range...
