[Cuga] Workshop High-energy nuclear physics with spectator tagging, March 9-11, 2015- A message from Charles Hyde

[Lorelei Chopard]

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to announce the workshop on "High Energy Nuclear Physics
with Spectator Tagging",
to be held at Old Dominion University, Norfolk VA, 9-11 March 2015.
Details of the workshop focus, program, registration, and accommodations
are available at the indico page:
https://www.jlab.org/indico/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=91
There is no registration fee, but we do request registration.

The workshop is intended to be informal and enable extensive
topical discussions. The organizers would like to encourage the
submission of contributed talks related to spectator tagging and
its applications.


Workshop Theme:
High-energy electron scattering from light nuclei (deuteron, helium) is a
powerful tool for exploring the partonic structure of the neutron,
short-range NN correlations in nuclei, and the nuclear modification of
quark/gluon densities. The reach and precision of such experiments can be
greatly increased by detecting the low-momentum nucleons produced by the
breakup of the nucleus in the high-energy process ("spectator tagging"). A
rich program of tagged electron scattering is planned in fixed-target
experiments with the JLab 12 GeV Upgrade, and in polarized colliding-beam
experiments with a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Such measurements
pose unique challenges both for experiment (detection of low-momentum
nucleons, energy/momentum resolution) and theory (nuclear structure
calculations). The workshop brings together researchers in high-energy
electron scattering, nucleon spin physics, nuclear theory, and accelerator
physics, to review the status and prospects of spectator tagging and
discuss the strategy for measurements with JLab 12 GeV and a future
Electron Ion Collider.
