    Plenary I

    The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is designed to explore the three-dimensional structure of nucleons and nuclei with unprecedented precision through polarized ep and eA collisions over a wide range of energies. To fulfill this scientific mission, the ePIC experiment is being developed as a general-purpose and high-performance detector system, integrating state-of-the-art tracking, calorimetry,...

    Achim Denig (University Mainz)
    10/19/26, 10:50 AM

    The Mainz Energy-Recovery Superconducting Accelerator (MESA), to be commissioned in 2027, will enable precision experiments in nuclear, hadron, and particle physics. We report on the physics program of its three fixed-target experiments: (i) MAGIX, (ii) P2, and (iii) DarkMESA. MAGIX exploits MESA's energy-recovery operation to deliver very high beam currents onto a windowless gas-jet target,...

    10/19/26, 11:35 AM

    The Hadron Experimental Facility (HEF) of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, J-PARC, started its operation in 2009. The most distinguishing feature of J-PARC its high proton intensity, and J-PARC has been improving the proton intensity continuously; HEF achieved 101 kW proton operation in April, 2026. As the proton beam intensity has been increased, research at the HEF has evolved from...

  6. 106. Theoretical Hadron Spectroscopy as a Probe of QCD
    Andrew Jackura
    10/19/26, 1:40 PM

    Accessing the hadron spectrum from Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) poses several challenges due to its nonperturbative nature and the fact that many states couple strongly to multi-particle decay channels. Recent advances in theoretical formalisms and numerical algorithms have made it possible to study few-hadron systems directly from QCD. A synergistic approach combining lattice QCD with...

  7. 107. Update on Hadron Spectroscopy in LHCb
    Hangyi Wu (Syracuse University)
    10/19/26, 2:25 PM

    Significant progress in studies of hadron spectroscopy has been accomplished by the LHCb experiment, highlighted by its discovery of 76 new conventional and exotic hadrons. This is thanks to its excellent mass resolution and unique capabilities in hadron identification and triggering on heavy flavor events. Recent LHCb results in conventional and exotic hadron spectroscopy will be reviewed.

  9. 109. Exotic Hadrons at Twenty
    Antonio Polosa
    10/19/26, 4:15 PM

    Whether an exotic hadron is elementary or composite is a statement about which fields appear in the effective Lagrangian. The Weinberg criterion has been invoked on the X(3872) to argue for a molecular nature, but it is applied to LHCb data fitted with a Flatté amplitude, which contains an elementary X field: the molecular conclusion is drawn from a fit that assumes the opposite --- and the...

  10. 110. Born-Oppenheimer EFT: an unified description of ordinary and exotic quarkonia
    Nora Brambilla (TUM)
    10/19/26, 5:00 PM

    We show how the Born--Oppenheimer effective field theory (BOEFT)
    provides a unified description of ordinary and exotic quarkonia grounded
    on the non-relativistic expansions of QCD and supplemented with lattice
    QCD inputs. We show applications of the BOEFT to tetraquarks,
    pentaquarks, quarkonium hybrids and to assess threshold effects in the
    quarkonium spectrum. We present the insights...

    Semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) provides a powerful tool to explore the multidimensional structure of the nucleon and the dynamics of hadronization. Measurements of hadron multiplicities and spin-dependent asymmetries offer complementary sensitivity to transverse-momentum-dependent parton distributions and fragmentation functions.

    Petr Navratil
    10/21/26, 9:45 AM

    Ab initio methods that solve the quantum many-nucleon problem with controlled approximations based on validated chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon forces are currently the best path to achieving a predictive theory of nuclear structure, low-energy scattering and reactions between nuclei. Among them, the ab initio no-core shell model with continuum (NCSMC) is capable of describing bound...
