[Cuga] QCD Evolution 2018- a message from Alexey Prokudin

[Lorelei Carlson]

Dear Colleagues,


The 2018 QCD Evolution Workshop will take place in May 20-24, 2018 at 
the Drury Plaza Hotel in Downtown Santa Fe, NM.

In a few short years since its inception in 2011, the QCD Evolution 
Workshop has rapidly grown to be the premier scientific meeting where 
advances in the exploration of the internal structure of the nucleon are 
reported. This workshop brings together senior researchers, postdoctoral 
fellows and talented graduate students to discuss the exciting recent 
developments and future directions in nuclear science. The purpose of 
the QCD Evolution Workshop is to summarize the accomplishments and 
provide guidance for the community effort in the areas of Transverse 
Momentum Distributions (TMDs), Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), 
small-x physics and Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). The theory 
is closely tied to experiments at the leading nuclear and particle 
physics facilities in the US and abroad, such as the Continuous Electron 
Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Lab, the Relativistic 
Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Lab and the Large 
Hadron Collider (LHC) complex at CERN. The workshop is also central to 
the planning of the next-generation nuclear physics facility in the US, 
such as the Electron Ion Collider (EIC).

Registration for the workshop is now open through the registration 
website

The registration fee of $250 will cover breakfasts, reception, the 
conference banquet dinner, and coffee breaks. If you would like to bring 
a guest with you to the banquet dinner, that fee is $40. The conference 
hotel is the Drury Plaza Hotel in Downtown Santa Fe, NM. The rate is 
$119.00 plus tax - the current government per diem rate and is 
guaranteed if reserved prior to the reservation deadline.  This is a 
deeply discounted rate for Santa Fe, so please make your reservations 
early. The Hotel Reservation Deadline: April 19, 2018. A room can be 
booked directly here
