[Theory-seminars] Theory seminar and special seminar next week

[Christopher Thomas]

Dear all,

We have two seminars next week (more details below):
* Monday (1-2pm, Dec 6, L104)
* Wednesday (2-5pm, Dec 8, L104) special seminar - *NOTE EXTENDED TIME*

-----
Monday, Dec 6
1pm (coffee at 12:45pm)
Room L104

*Atomic Nuclei at Low Resolution*

Dick Furnstahl
Ohio State University

Renormalization group methods can be used to evolve nuclear
interactions so that low-momentum and high-momentum parts are
decoupled. This leads to dramatically improved convergence in few-
and many-body systems by greatly suppressing short-range correlations.
However, many-body forces are induced as the resolution is lowered.
The Similarity Renormalization Group (SRG) provides a method to
consistently evolve many-body potentials and other operators using
flow equations.  An overview of the SRG and recent results will be
presented, including a factorization property that provides an
alternative explanation of nuclear scaling.

Special Theory Seminar
Wednesday, Dec 8
2-5pm *NOTE EXTENDED TIME*
Room L104

*Toward an Electron-Ion Collider: Physics, project status, future plans*

Alberto Accardi, Vadim Guzey, Alexei Prokudin, Christian Weiss

An electron-proton/ion collider (EIC) is widely being discussed as a
future facility for QCD-based nuclear physics in the U.S. and worldwide
and represents an interesting option for JLab beyond the 12 GeV Upgrade. 
We attempt to give a concise summary of the envisaged physics program 
and the status and future plans in this project. In particular, we 
report on the results of the recent 10-week INT program devoted to EIC 
physics. This special seminar is intended to bring our colleagues up to 
date on the recent developments in the EIC project and the involvement 
of JLab Theory, in order to enable wider discussion of these topics.

Christian Weiss (20 + 10) Overview of EIC physics and project status
Vadim Guzey     (20 + 10) Nucleon 3D imaging and QCD structure of nuclei
