Speaker: Tomas Reis - University of Geneva Title: Renormalons from Resurgence Abstract: In this talk I will present recent results of M. Marino and I concerning the study of renormalons through the aid of the integrability, resurgence and simple Feynman diagrams. I will start by presenting a brief introduction of resurgence and renormalons. Then I will outline how…
Dr. Feng Yuan Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Title: Nucleon Energy Correlators for the Color Glass Condensate Abstract: In this talk, we will present a proposal to unveil the hadron tomography through the nucleon energy-energy correlators (NEEC) at the future electron-ion collider (EIC). In particular, we will show that the gluon saturation at small-x predicts a…
Dr. Wally Meltnichouk Title: Unraveling the Three-dimensional Structure of the Pion Abstract: We review recent work by the JAM Collaboration towards extracting the three-dimensional structure of the pion from simultaneous global QCD analysis of collinear parton distribution functions (PDFs) and transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMDs). We explore the constraints on pion PDFs from recent lattice QCD data on reduced…
Title: Self-consistent predictions of nucleosynthesis and kilonovae from compact binary mergers Abstract: Understanding the details of r-process nucleosynthesis in binary neutron star mergers (BNSM) ejecta is key to interpreting kilonova observations and identifying the role of BNSMs in the origin of heavy elements. I will present a new tool to self-consistently study, in a two-dimensional,…
Title: Pion Mass Dependence in Chiral EFT and the QCD Axion Abstract: QCD and effective field theory together put low energy nuclear physics on solid theoretical footing to calculate observables with some confidence, but open questions remain. Two related questions are why QCD seems not to violate CP and how the properties of nuclear matter…
Title: Neutron Star Mergers as a Laboratory for Neutrino Physics: Neutrino Oscillations, Neutrino-matter Interactions, and Neutrino Advection Abstract: The 2017 detection of the in-spiral and merger of two neutron stars was a landmark discovery in astrophysics. Through a wealth of multi-messenger data, we now know that the merger of these ultracompact stellar remnants is a…
