Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

I summarize recent work pointing towards the existence of a universal holographic light-front wavefunction for light mesons and nucleons. This holographic wavefunction, which describes simultaneously a bound state in light-front QCD and the propagation of string modes in a dilaton-modified 5-dimensional anti de Sitter spacetime, is a specific realization of the gauge-gravity duality. The...

Ab initio approaches such as the no-core shell model with continuum (NCSMC) describe nuclei as systems of nucleons experiencing inter-nucleonic forces derived from the underlying Quantum Chromo-Dynamical (QCD) structure. This, along with the NCSMC's unified description of nuclear structure and reaction theory, provide a rigorous framework that can be applied to tests of fundamental...

The rapid neutron capture process ($r$-process) is a complex nucleosynthesis mechanism for heavy nuclei, which occurs under extreme astrophysical environments, such as binary neutron star mergers and core-collapse supernovae. It involves thousands of neutron-rich isotopes and the vast majority of them are not yet experimentally accessible. Therefore, the r-process abundance calculations have...
