The APS April Meeting will take place virtually on 17-20 April 2021 [<a href="https://april.aps.org" id="LPlnk807365">https://april.aps.org</a>] and we are writing to invite you to attend and submit abstracts to sessions organized by the Topical Group on Hadronic
Physics (GHP). The GHP is hosting three invited sessions, two mini-symposia, and several contributed sessions.
<br>
<br>
The deadline for abstract submission is 8 January 2021. Abstracts are submitted at the meeting website, where you will have the opportunity to choose the appropriate session.<br>
<br>
The invited sessions are titled:<br>
<br>
Highlights from the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV Program<br>
RHIC Beam Energy Scan II and the QCD Critical Point (joint with DNP)<br>
Electron-Ion Collider and Hadronic Physics (joint with DNP)<br>
<br>
where each of these sessions has three speakers. Associated with these invited sessions are two mini-symposia:<br>
<br>
E08. Mini-Symposium: Early Science Results from Jefferson Lab 12 GeV Program<br>
E09. Mini-Symposium: Results from RHIC Beam Energy Scan II<br>
<br>
with each mini-symposium having one invited speaker followed by contributed talks. Finally, the GHP has seven sorting categories for contributed talks:<br>
<br>
E01. Hadronic Physics: General<br>
E02. Light Mesons and Baryons<br>
E03. Heavy Flavor Hadrons<br>
E04. Hadron Spectroscopy and Exotics<br>
E05. Nucleon Structure and Nucleon Spin<br>
E06. QCD and Short Range Effects in Nuclei<br>
E07. Partonic Structure of Nuclei<br>
<br>
We invite you to submit one or more abstracts to the mini-symposia and/or sorting categories that are of interest to you.<br>
<br>
Immediately preceding the APS April Meeting, the GHP is also organizing its biennial meeting:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://indico.jlab.org/e/ghp2021">https://indico.jlab.org/e/ghp2021</a><br>
<br>
which we also invite you to participate in. If you have any questions about the GHP sessions at APS April Meeting 2021, or the GHP biennial meeting, please send an email to ghp2021@anl.gov.
