Dear Colleagues,<br>
We would like to call your attention to the upcoming International
Workshop on <br>
<br>
<b>Drell-Yan Scattering and the Structure of Hadrons<br>
Date:</b> May 21-25, 2012<br>
<b>Location:</b> ECT* (Trento, Italy)<br>
<br>
Since it was first observed, Drell-Yan scattering has been an important
tool, used to determine the substructure of both the beam and target
hadrons. We are now working toward extending our knowledge of hadron
structure from a single dimension (parton and parent-hadron momenta
collinear) to include also transverse degrees of freedom.
Deep-Inelastic Scattering (DIS) experiments are largely contributing
toward this goal, but a complete picture requires Drell-Yan scattering
data as well. <br>
This workshop will focus on the future theoretical and experimental
work that is necessary to exploit fully the upcoming Drell-Yan
measurements that will take place at Fermilab, CERN, Brookhaven,
GSI-FAIR, and JINR (NICA). The ability to measure the transverse
structure of hadrons in both DIS and Drell-Yan scattering is enabling a
test of the universality of transverse momentum dependent parton
distributions (TMD) and, more generally, of the present understanding
of (TMD) factorization theorems and color charge flow in QCD. <br>
