Description


The Hadronic Physics Group (HPG) at the MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Science is holding a one-day symposium QCD and Nuclei on Sunday October 10th, the day before the start of the DNP 2021 meeting.  As the DNP meeting is virtual, the symposium will also be virtual.  We aim to bring together experiment, theory and lattice to showcase the current frontier research activities and exciting future avenues.  Confirmed speakers include: Jo van den Brand, Haiyan Gao, Ronald Garcia Ruiz, Or Hen, Xiangdong Ji, Robert Redwine, Gunther Roland, and Phiala Shanahan.  

 

You can find detailed information at https://indico.mit.edu/e/QCDandNuclei Attendees should register there - there is no charge.  The Zoom link will be sent to the registered attendees close to the date.  The symposium will be recorded and made available to the community.
