<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear colleague,<br>
<br>
we cordially invite you to participate in the 44th Course of the International School/Workshop of Nuclear Physics on the topic:
<br>
<br>
"From quarks and gluons to hadrons and nuclei" <br>
<br>
The School/Workshop will be held in Erice, Sicily/Italy, from September 18 (arrival day) to September 24 (departure day), 2023.
<br>
<br>
In the 44th course we intend to discuss the current status of the field of hadron physics including invited lectures by international
<br>
experts of the various subareas as well as invited and contributed talks by the participants. We aim to cover a broad range of topics
<br>
to elucidate synergies and identify areas of future progress. These are:<br>
<br>
• properties of quarks and gluons<br>
• mass generation and confinement<br>
• spectra and decays of conventional baryons<br>
• spectra and decays of exotic baryons (hybrids, pentaquarks)<br>
• spectra and decays of exotic mesons (glueballs, four-quark states, hybrids)<br>
• form factors and structure functions of hadrons<br>
• emergence of nuclear forces from QCD<br>
<br>
Registration is open from now on until June 15th on our webpage <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/theorie.ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de/erice/2023/__;!!OToaGQ!rrHK7eqKV08D4XP5-GCLk8OBqZF3IReT-gY1HWrtUgJ80iaMO-kHdDiEoT2fntBZLIEqVRhVYG5rCQer2_E6kc2XJAtvkIS56zZEv8b-O_i4jg$" data-auth="NotApplicable">
