Dear Colleagues,<br class="">
<p> <br class="">
The 2018 QCD Evolution Workshop will take place in May 20-24,
2018 at the Drury Plaza Hotel in Downtown Santa Fe, NM.<br
class="">
<br class="">
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).<br class="">

Registration for the workshop is now open through the <a

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 <a
