Exploring QCD with Next Generation Facilities
QCD Frontier 2013
October 21-22, 2013
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Newport News, VA
Announcement
CHANGE IN LOCATION
The location of the meeting has been moved to the nearby
Christopher Newport University (CNU). Directions to CNU
can be found here.
The workshop will take place in Freeman Center, room
101. Click here
for campus map and parking directions. Please use the
visitor parking lot.
If you have secured lodging arrangement with the SURA
Residence Facility, they will still be open and honoring those
commitments. Local attendees will be providing shuttle rides
in the morning and evening from the Residence Facility to
CNU.

AIM AND SCOPE
QCD is an incredibly rich theory of most of the visible
matter, that especially in hadronic and nuclear physics
is yet to fully reveal its secrets. During the last 3
years the American nuclear physics community came
together and formulated an engaging nuclear
physics program for an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) that
would explore this QCD frontier. So far the EIC physics
program has been discussed mostly with regard to
technical feasibility and in relation to the RHIC and
JLab 12 GeV programs. In this workshop we aim to discuss
the EIC nuclear physics program in the wider context of
future QCD experiments and facilities worldwide
(COMPASS, AFTER@LHC, LHeC, JPARC, GSI, HIAF, ...).
We specifically want to focus on:
- Synergies in physics topics
- Complementarity
- Cross-over and novel approaches
The aim is to engage and involve the different communities
interested in related physics topics at these facilities.
The program will be structured around physics topics of
common interest, with technical information provided in
suitable summary form to enable joint discussions, for
which ample time will be reserved after a set of short
presentations on each physics topic.
TOPICS
- Future facilities for QCD
- 3D nucleon structure: spin and flavor
- 3D nucleon structure: spatial imaging
- 3D nucleon structure: orbital motion
- Color fields in nuclei
- From color charge to hadrons: current vs. target fragmentation
