[Lorelei Carlson]

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

Techniques and Formalism of Partial Wave Analysis

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 http://www.jlab.org/conferences/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 26, 2012.*
