The International Spring School on "QCD prospects for future e-p and e-A colliders"
will be held at Orsay from June 4 to 8, 2012.
It is organized by the french "Research Group on Hadron Physics and QCD" (GDR PH-QCD).
The school will focus on several key topics, in the spirit of an ideal machine which would combine a high center-of-mass energy, a high luminosity and beam polarization facilities. It will be devoted both to phenomenological aspects and theoretical problems, with a small touch about the experimental aspects of the different projects. Each of the four main lecturers, among the leading specialists of the field, will have a substantial amount of time (4 lectures of 90 mn for each lecturer) to cover the various topics in an extensive way. In addition, a presentation of the various projects and of their physics cases will be provided in the form of extended seminars.
The main lectures will be on :
- High energy e-p and e-A scattering, by A. Mueller (Columbia U., New York).
- TMDs : theory and phenomenology, by P. Mulders (Vrije U., Amsterdam).
- Factorization of hard processes, by G. Sterman (Stony Brook U., Stony Brook).
- GDPs and spatial structure of hadrons, M. Vanderhaegen (J. Gutenberg U., Mainz).
The inscription to the school is free of charge. Coffee breaks, lunches are included.
A few grants will be available to partially support PhD students for their accommodation and travelling expenses.
chairpersons of the school:
H. Moutarde (IRFU/SPhN)
S. Wallon (LPT Orsay)
