20. Hadrons in the medium - how properties of mesons are modified in a nuclear environment

Prof. Volker Metag (JLU Gießen)

26/01/2024, 09:00

Chiral model calculations, assuming a partial restoration of chiral symmetry in a nuclear medium, predict modifications of meson properties within nuclei. This motivated a still ongoing widespread experimental campaign starting in the 1990’s to measure the properties of mesons in photon-, pion-, and proton-induced reactions on nuclei and in relativistic and ultra-relativistic heavy-ion...

42. Nuclear structure from muonic atom spectroscopy

Prof. Randolf Pohl (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz)

In muonic atoms, a single muon replaces all of the atomic electrons, resulting in a 2-body system whose hydrogen-like theory is very well understood. The large muon mass of 200 times the electron mass results in a 200^3 = 10 million fold improved sensitivity of muonic-atom energy levels to nuclear structure. Using laser spectroscopy, we have investigated the charge radii of Z=1 and 2 (H to...

61. New questions and new answers in Hot QCD

Prof. Gunther Roland (MIT)

26/01/2024, 11:15

Recent results have brought conclusive and/or intriguing answers to important questions in hot QCD. I will discuss some of those answers and the new questions that they pose, and will point to some of the upcoming new experimental facilities that should provide the next round of discoveries.

65. Test of the charge symmetry breaking of nuclear forces from the measurement of the Coulomb-free s-wave p-p scattering length

Prof. Aurora Tumino (UKE & INFN-LNS)

26/01/2024, 11:50

The difference in proton-proton and neutron-neutron scattering lengths contributes to understanding the charge-symmetry breaking of nuclear forces, yet the Coulomb-free proton-proton scattering length (app) cannot be measured directly and relies heavily on numerous and distinct theoretical techniques to remove the Coulomb contribution. We determined the Coulomb-free p-p scattering length from...

40. Highlights from LHCb

Dr Niels Tuning (Nikhef)

26/01/2024, 12:25

The LHCb experiment has evolved into a true 'general purpose detector', with major contributions in the fields of heavy ion physics, hadron spectroscopy and high-pt electro-weak physics, in addition to its traditional focus on CP violation and rare processes in b and c decays. In this overview the physics highlights from the LHCb experiment from Run 1 and Run 2 will be introduced, and the...

67. Neutron star mergers as probes for nuclear physics

Dr Andreas Bauswein (GSI Helmholtzzentrum fuer Schwerionenforschung)

Neutron stars are the densest stellar objects with densities exceeding those in atomic nuclei. Consequently, the collision of two neutron stars creates very extreme conditions and leads to a variety of different highly energetic and potentially observable phenomena: electromagnetic radiation from radio to gamma wavelengths, neutrinos and gravitational waves. Since the first unambiguous...
