[Cuga] INT Workshop on Nuclear Structure and Dynamics at Short Distances - A Message from Misak Sargsian

INT Workshop on Nuclear Structure and Dynamics at Short Distances 
February 11-22, 2013 
R. Ent, G. A. Miller, M. Sargsian, J. P. Vary 


Dear Colleagues, 
Recently there has been significant experimental progress in observing the effects 
of two-nucleon correlations, in studying quasi-elastic scattering by nuclei at large 
Bjorken x, and in detailing the nuclear dependence of deep inelastic lepton scattering. 
In particular, quantitative relationships have been found between these apparent 
disconnected processes that point to a local density short-range nuclear effect. 


Given the recent progress in theoretical nuclear studies 
ranging from ab-initio and modern structure calculations, lattice calculation of 
nuclear interactions to high energy approaches of description of quark-gluon structure of 
nuclei we plan to have two-week INT activity on February 11-22, 2013 to bring hadronic 
physics and nuclear structure communities together, to propel a better theoretical 
underpinning of the hadron and quark/gluon descriptions of these experimental phenomena. 


During these two weeks we plan to address the main topics including: 
- EMC effect 
- Probing Short Range Correlations in Nuclei 
- Theoretical foundation of nuclear medium modifications 
- Quark-Gluon degrees of freedom and ab-initio calculations 
- New generation of experimental studies of nuclear structure
