[Cuga] First Circular of HiX2019 International Workshop- a message from Makis Petratos

[Lorelei Carlson]

Announcement of the First Circular of the HiX2019 International 
Workshop,//on behalf of the Organizing Committee:

Dear Colleagues,

This is the first circular about the 5th International Workshop on 
Nucleon Structure at Large Bjorken /x /(HiX2019), which will take place 
in Kolymbari, on the Island of Crete, Greece, on August 16-21, 2019.  
Kolymbari is close to the city of Chania and its international 
airport.The venue will be the Orthodox Academy of Crete.This meeting 
will continue a series of workshops held previously in Philadelphia, USA 
(2000), Marseille, France (2004), Newport News, USA (2010), and 
Frascati, Italy (2014).


While a tremendous amount of knowledge about the quark and gluon 
structure of the nucleon and nuclei has been accumulated in the four 
decades since the development of Quantum Chromodynamics, significant 
gaps remain, particularly in the valence quark region where the parton 
momentum fraction x is large.  With the expectation of new data from the 
Jefferson Lab 12 GeV Science Program, as well as from collider and 
neutrino experiments, it is timely to review advances in our 
understanding of nucleon structure at high /x /and assess the possible 
impact of the new data.  The workshop will discuss new theoretical ideas 
and suggestions for additional studies at present and future facilities, 
along with implications for related fields.

The topics to be addressed at the workshop will include:

  *

    Parton distribution functions at large /x/

  *

    Spin structure of the nucleon

  *

    Transverse momentum distributions

  *

    Nuclear medium modifications of parton distributions

  *

    Quark-hadron duality and higher twists

  *

    Lattice QCD and low energy models

  *

    Implications for new physics searches and related fields

  *

    Large-/x/ Physics at the Electron-Ion Collider and future facilities

Further information about the workshop will be available in a future 
communication after the establishment of its International Advisory 
Committee and the creation of a website.Please feel free to forward this 
announcement to your collaborators and other interested colleagues.

We look forward to seeing you at HiX2019 in Crete next summer!

Sincerely,

The HiX2019 Organizing Committee:Alberto Accardi (Hampton), George 
Fanourakis (NCSR Demokritos), Alessandra Fantoni (INFN Frascati), Mina 
Katramatou (Kent State), Cynthia Keppel (JLab), Zein-Eddine Meziani 
(Argonne/Temple), and Makis Petratos (Kent State).
