On this workshop
This is a long-term workshop entitled "Hadrons and Hadron Interactions in QCD -- Experiments, Effective theories, and Lattice -- (HHIQCD2024)" at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP), Kyoto University, for five weeks, from Oct.14 (Mon) to Nov.15(Fri), 2024. (Note that the scientific program starts on 15th Oct., since 14th is a holiday in Japan)
The long-term workshop is a "stay-and-discuss" style workshop in a relaxed atmosphere, where each participant is encouraged to stay long and is assigned to a desk in an office at YITP. In each day, we will arrange one or two seminar sessions, where participants will present their research activities including pre-published results. For remaining times other than these sessions, participants are free to work on their own researches, to discuss some problems with other participants, and even to start new collaborations during the workshop.
In this workshop, researchers in lattice QCD, various effective field theories and also experimentalists come together and make extensive discussions on hadron physics. Furthermore, we also focus on formal developments of quantum field theories and frontiers of first-principle calculations (quantum computation and tensor network methods). We hope that this workshop will bring a new direction of researches to understand the nature of QCD.
A list of topics in the workshop is as follows.
- Hadron structure and interactions
- Properties of ground state properties
- Exotic hadrons and their structures
- Structure functions
- Meson-baryon/baryon-baryon interactions
- Hadron scattering and resonances
- Nuclear matter under extreme conditions
- Nuclear equation of state
- Hadrons in nuclei and role of symmetries
- Hadronic matter and QCD under extreme conditions
- Constraints from astrophysics(Neutron stars, Gravitational waves)
- Formal developments and other frontiers in lattice QCD
- Generalized symmetries related to QCD
- Chiral gauge theories
- Sign problem
- Quantum computation and tensor network
