Short Contribution
Finite density QCD is not directly accessible to Monte Carlo simulations because of the so-called sign problem. I summarize recent efforts to construct an effective lattice theory based on strong coupling and hopping expansions, which is valid either for heavy quarks close to the continuum or for chiral quarks on very coarse lattices. These effective theories permit determinations of the phase...

Fundamental Interactions
Short Contribution
The ATLAS Collaboration released several new measurements in the area of SoftQCD and diffractive physics, ranging from the exclusive production of dimuons, over the total pp cross section measurement to studies of correlated hadron production. An overview of these most recent developments will be given in this talk:
The total inelastic proton-proton cross section and the diffractive part of...

Hadron Physics
Short Contribution
In this talk I report on recent results on the spectrum and properties of three-quark states
as obtained in the framework of Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations.
I will discuss the spectrum of light baryons with focus on the comparison with
quark model expectations, the impact of dynamical mass generation and explain
the importance of relativistic components in the wave...

Applications and Instrumentations
Short Contribution
Measuring antimatter in space excellently probes various astrophysical processes. The abundancies and energy spectra of antiparticles reveal a lot about the creation and propagation of cosmic-ray particles in the universe. Abnormalities in their spectra can reveal exotic sources or inaccuracies in our understanding of the involved processes.
I will review the measurement of antiprotons in...

Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics
Short Contribution
The evolution of all the celestial bodies is regulated by gravitation and thermonuclear reaction rates,while the Big Bang nucleosynthesis depends on the competition between the expanding universe and the cross section of several nuclear processes.
The LUNA Collaboration has shown that, by exploiting the ultra low background achieable deep underground, it is possible to study the relevant...

Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics
Short Contribution
The production of heavy quarks (charm and beauty) in collider experiments occurs primarily due to hard scattering processes in the initial stages of a collision, and not through thermal processes at later stages. This property makes them an excellent probe to study the evolution of the strongly interacting medium produced in central Pb--Pb collisions at the LHC. Proton--proton collisions serve...

Short Contribution
Photonuclear reactions at threshold energies are of great
interest in nuclear astrophysics.
At the Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP[1])
we are currently developing a new silicon-strip detector array
(ELISSA, ELI Silicon Strip Array) to be used with
the Gamma Beam System (GBS) that is being installed and will be operational in 2019. The ELI-NP GBS will provide...
