Dear Colleagues,

 

This is the second announcement for the CFNS Workshop on Advancing the Understanding of Non-Perturbative QCD Using Energy Flows which will be held in Stony Brook University Monday September 19th to Thursday September 22nd 2022.  

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together experimentalists and theorists working on non-perturbative effects of QCD. 

Perturbative quantum chromodynamics provides a systematically improvable approach to study the dynamics of the strong interaction. However, much of the theoretical uncertainty in realistic calculations comes from the inaccurate model description of non-perturbative effects in the low energy regime. These non-perturbative effects present themselves in lepton-lepton, lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron collisions, with substantial overlap in their phase space along with a distinct set of contributions for each system. The goal of this workshop is to aggregate current knowledge related to non-perturbative effects across systems in order to brainstorm novel measurements at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) to investigate the fundamental transition from perturbative to non-perturbative QCD, utilizing collinear energy flows of jets, heavy flavor hadrons and target fragments. This workshop proposes an initiative that brings together theorists and experimentalists towards envisioning a collective framework, conceptually and via observables, that are aimed at understanding npQCD.

The workshop will have only plenary sessions, with invited and contributed talks. We strongly encourage Early-Carrer Researchers (including PhD students) to register and apply for a contributing talk at the workshop wepage. These talks will be held during each day in a flash talk style of 10 + 5 minutes to encourage discussion.

It is a pleasure to announce an extension of registration deadline until August 1st, 2022. 

There is no registration fee and CFNS travel (hotel) support for speakers is available (please contact the organizers for more information). While we encourage all who are able to attend in person, the workshop will be held in a hybrid mode to allow for remote participation. 

 

We look forward to discussing this exciting physics with you at Stony Brook!  

 

The organizers,
