A major goal in strong-interaction physics is to understand the nature of hadrons, which make up visible matter, and much research activity revolves around two fundamental questions: what are hadrons made up of and how does Quantum Chromo-dynamics (QCD), the strong-interaction component of the Standard Model, produce them? Although these questions are simple, the answers may not be. To address these questions, spectroscopy is a valuable and time-honored tool, as it enables us to understand the structure of mesons, baryons and exotics and how they are produced. In this context, the recent discovery of many new hadronic states, in particular the plethora of observed X, Y, Z states, is exciting, as these objects challenge the commonplace view of hadrons as either quark-antiquark or three-quark color-singlet states.
Experimental investigations of the hadron structure and spectrum are performed via hadron-hadron scattering processes, photo- and electro-production by nucleons or, more recently, by means of heavy-meson decays at world-wide accelerator facilities. In the last decade, these investigations have yielded an enormous amount of data, which have vastly improved our knowledge of the baryon and meson spectrum and enabled us to establish the existence of new states, together with an empirical determination of their angular momentum, content, and spin. Recent highlights are observations of multi-quark states outside our well-known hadronic pictures, which have been interpreted as the long sought-after penta- and tetraquark systems.
However, identifying new states and their quantum numbers requires complex analysis (so-called partial wave analysis), which sometimes relies on model assumptions. For many of the new states, we still do not know the quantum numbers. Different theoretical models for the structure of the new states give different predictions of their quantum numbers. Therefore, the composition of many states remains controversial. Indeed, some of these newly discovered hadrons seem to fit the picture of compact multi-quark states, while others may qualify as molecular states or both, i.e. the superposition of a constituent-quark core and a meson cloud, and one of the main goals of this workshop will be to discuss how to distinguish them.
The CHEP conferences address the computing, networking and software issues for the world’s leading data‐intensive science experiments that currently analyze hundreds of petabytes of data using worldwide computing resources. The Conference provides a unique opportunity for computing experts across Particle and Nuclear Physics to come together to learn from each other and typically attracts over 500 participants. The event features plenary sessions, parallel sessions, and poster presentations; it publishes peer-reviewed proceedings.
The focus of the conference evolves with time to highlight changing technologies and major scientific initiatives. Through the plenary sessions, related scientific and computing topics are presented to ensure a broad and thoughtful program that engages the community. This edition of the conference will place special emphasis on high-performance data organization, management, and access (DOMA), a topic of interest and relevance throughout the scientific community.
The nine parallel session tracks focus on specific topics and often have very animated discussions on the technical merits of various approaches. Birds of a feather sessions promote international communities of common interest.
The CHEP 2023 organizers are committed to fostering a supportive and diverse environment with opportunities for everyone. We take a positive attitude towards having full participation from the whole community and everybody in the field is encouraged to attend. Attendance of students at CHEP 2023 is strongly encouraged. A diversity event will be scheduled.
The CHEP conference location rotates between the Americas, Asia and Europe, and is typically held eighteen months apart. The CHEP 2023 conference will be hosted by the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) at the newly renovated Norfolk Marriott Waterside hotel in Norfolk, Virginia.
The conference will be held from Monday, May 8, 2023, through Friday, May 12, 2023. For the most up-to-date travel guidelines, please reference https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/international-travel-during-covid19.html.
A WLCG/HSF pre-conference workshop will be held on the prior weekend (May 6-7).
