Intersection of nuclear structure and high-energy nuclear collisions: 2025 Program

12 May 2025, 08:00 → 22 May 2025, 17:00 Asia/Shanghai

X1-5-B5009 - HIRG conference room (Jiangwan Campus, Fudan University)

Introduction: The purpose of this one-week program and three-day workshop is to gather together experts from high-energy and low-energy nuclear physics communities to report on the latest experimental and theoretical advances at the intersection of these fields. Discussions will focus on the interplay between low-energy nuclear experiments, modern nuclear structure theory, and the current understanding of initial conditions in high-energy nuclear collisions. This program will provide a channel for deepening our understanding of nuclear structure and address the important question of its evolution across energy scales. With the aim of elucidating key questions at the two ends of the energy spectrum, emphasis will be given to future research directions driven by planned ion programs at the Large Hadron Collider and other facilities worldwide.

The program, running from May 12-18, 2025, will feature daily one-hour seminars by invited speakers, followed by in-depth discussions. The subsequent workshop from May 20-22, 2025 will span three days, featuring 30 invited talks and a few focused discussion sessions.

 

The scientific program includes the following topics, which emphasize the intersections between nuclear structure and high-energy collisions. 

• Nuclear shape and initial conditions in nuclear collisions

• Nuclear shapes in ab initio approaches

• Bayesian analysis and emulators for nuclear physics

• Precision studies of nuclear shapes and BSM searches

• Future experimental upgrades and facilities

Program:   10:00-11:00 am, 2:30-3:30 pm, May 12-18, 2025

Workshop: 9:00-12:00 am, 2:00-5:00 pm, May 20-22, 2025
