Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
I will first go over the status of modern nuclear theory, especially in connection with first-principles studies of strongly interacting nucleons. After some general points on the underlying theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), I will go over the efforts toward connecting QCD with many-nucleon studies (via chiral Effective Field Theory [EFT]). I will then introduce a recent local...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
Lattice simulations have an impact that reaches into several aspects of QCD and nuclear physics as well as the standard model of particle physics and theories beyond. A selection of recent examples will be reviewed.

A Multi-Channel Algebraic-Scattering (MCAS) method that was developed in 2003 for the analysis of low-energy nuclear spectra and of resonant scattering has continued to be effectively used for nuclear-structure studies. The focus now is on nuclei away from the valley of stability. Such nuclei are the subject of experimental study at Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facilities, and may have...

The phase transition from hadronic to partonic degrees of freedom in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions is a central focus of experiments at the LHC. Heavy-flavor quarks are an ideal probe to study early dynamics in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. This contribution will present new results on the effects of strong longitudinal colour electric fields (SCF), shadowing, and quenching on...
