Towards improved hadron tomography with hard exclusive reactions
This workshop is the third edition of the series, for which the first edition took place at Virginia Tech in 2022 and the 2nd edition took place at Jefferson Lab in 2023. We are welcoming you for this third edition at ECT* in Trento, Italy.
Our goal is to bring together theorists and experimentalists in hadronic physics to discuss recent progress and directions to improve our knowledge of hard exclusive reactions and interpretations such as hadron imaging. We are particularly interested in "novel" reactions that access Generalized Parton Distributions, novel techniques for models and projections, and future measurements.
This edition of the workshop will put a particular emphasis on lattice QCD and new computing techniques for theory and analysis, such as the use of machine learning or quantum computing. We will also discuss, among physics topics, the hard exclusive production of mesons, lepton pairs, and meson pairs, both in fixed-target and in collider experiments, including the process of ultra-peripheral collisions. We will discuss the sensitivity of these reactions to objects such as GPDs, GTMDs, gravitational form factors and spin.
The workshop will take place exclusively in person. Remote attendance as audience is possible, but all the talks will be in person. Each session will end by a discussion and scientific debates around topics discussed during the day.
Sessions:
- Lattice QCD
- Computing methods
- Hard exclusive meson production
- Compton-like reactions, dilepton production
- Theory / phenomenology
- GPD models and beyond
- Experimental facilities and programs
