Jefferson Lab Advanced Study Institute
“*Extracting Physics From Precision Experiments*:
Techniques of Amplitude Analysis”

College of William & Mary
Williamsburg, Virginia, USA
Wed., May 30 – Wed., June 13, 2012

In preparation for the analysis of ongoing precision data-taking at 
BESIII, COMPASS and LHCb, and future experiments at JLab at 12 GeV and 
PANDA at Fair, Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) is 
organizing a two-week advanced course covering /Techniques of Amplitude 
Analysis/, aimed at postdoctoral researchers and advanced doctoral 
students in nuclear and particle physics. This Study Institute will 
comprise pedagogical lectures with exercises and discussion sessions 
covering:

Basics of Scattering (S-Matrix) Theory, including
        - what is a resonance
        - poles in the energy plane

Implementing Unitarity
        - two-body and three-body
        - relating reactions with common final states

Dynamical Coupled Channel Analysis Program

Dalitz Plot Analysis Techniques and Their Applications

Role of Crossing and Analyticity:
        - dispersion relations
        - Regge theory     

Models of Hadrons, Their Interactions and Decays:
        - the quark model
        - chiral dynamics
        - lattice QCD results
        - CKM matrix elements
        - CP violation

*Lecturers: *Suh-urk Chung (BNL/TUM), Jozef Dudek (JLab/ODU), Bastian 
Kubis (Bonn),  T-S (Harry) Lee (ANL), Brian Meadows (U. Cincinnati), 
Antimo Palano (INFN, Bari), Michael Pennington (JLab), Klaus Peters 
(GSI, Darmstadt), Ron Workman (GWU)

*Discussion Leaders: *Maria Elena Boglione (INFN, Torino), Peng Guo 
(JLab), Veronique Ziegler (JLab) and others (to be confirmed).

The Institute is aimed at those interested in phenomenological research 
at the precision frontier in hadron physics, with either an experimental 
or theoretical background. The course will be structured to have three 
four-day periods of lectures with a “day off” between. Each lecture day 
will have three 90-minute sessions followed by an open-ended exercise 
and discussion session.

*Day 1* of lectures: Thurs., May 31

*Days 1-4*:  Suh-urk Chung, Bastian Kubis, Michael Pennington

*Days 6-9:*  Jo Dudek, Harry Lee, Klaus Peters

*Days 11-14*: Brian Meadows, Antimo Palano, Ron Workman

*Days 5 and 10*  (i.e., Mon., June 4 and Sat., June 9):  No lectures.
 
The registration fee for the course is $600. Participants will be 
accommodated in apartments at the College of William & Mary within easy 
walking distance of the town center and of the Physics Department, where 
the sessions will be held. Accommodations for the two weeks will also be 
roughly $600. Online registration for the course and for lodging will 
open shortly on the JLab website www.jlab.org/asi2012 
<http://www.jlab.org/asi2012>. This will give the exact costs and 
details of what the registration fee and lodging payments cover.

A poster for the /Advanced Study Institute/ course can be downloaded 
from the website. The deadline for registration and lodging is *April 
15, 2012.*
