Invited Session Titles and Summaries
- 100 Years of Spin Physics
In 1922 the Stern-Gerlach experiment showed that spin has quantized eigenvalues. In 1928 the Dirac equation, formulated for relativistic quantum physics, contained spin degrees of freedom. Since then, spin has played an essential role in many areas of physics. Examples include the g-factor of the nucleon, spin-orbit interaction and the shell structure of nuclei, parity violation, and the proton spin problem. This session will review the evolution of spin physics in the last 100 years and discuss prospects for the future.
- Advances in Predictive Nuclear Reaction Theory
The session will highlight advances in nuclear reaction theory, specifically research that incorporates state-of-the-art nuclear structure in reaction descriptions. The speakers present diverse approaches for reactions involving nuclei in a broad range of isotopes.
- Challenges in Understanding Exotic Hadrons
In this invited session, recent topics on exotic hadrons are discussed, including the latest experimental and theoretical results. The latest experimental results from JLab and J-PARC, leading facilities of the US and Japan, are presented. The theoretical talks will cover first principles results from lattice QCD and effective field theory methods.
- Jets from high to low energies
New results on the physics of jets are expected from the STAR and sPHENIX collaborations in 2023. Jets are one of the main physics topics for sPHENIX, which will have completed its inaugural run and is expected to have some early results. STAR is working on jet substructure at lower energies. Invited theory talks will focus on medium-modification of jets and jet substructure and complement the experimental data overview talks.
- Tests of Fundamental Symmetries and Searches for New Interactions
This session will discuss the current challenges and future plans in the search for new interactions and in tests of fundamental symmetries using radioactive nuclei and molecules or probing the window of weak decays and electron capture. It involves novel approaches toward the Lorentz invariance, the time-reversal symmetry and neutrino properties over hadronic, leptonic and dark sectors with innovative measurements of nuclear properties and processes.
- What Color is DIEB in Nuclear Physics?
Parallel to the way the nucleon stays together by the presence and interaction of all its quarks and gluons through the strong force, our scientific force can only be strong by an inclusive environment that allow all its members to thrive. In this invited session, we explore some of the current efforts, both in Japan and the US, for creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone in the nuclear physics community.
