102. ePIC experimental overview

Rongrong Ma (BNL)

Plenary

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,...

103. EIC theory overview

Yoshitaka Hatta (BNL)

10/19/26, 9:45 AM

The Electron-Ion Collider is a next-generation QCD machine dedicated to the understanding of nucleon and nuclear structure. I will give a theoretical overview of the main physics cases for the EIC including multi-dimensional tomography, nucleon mass and spin, gluon saturation and the emerging topic of quantum entanglement.

104. Probing the Standard Model and Beyond at MESA

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,...

105. Hadron Physics at J-PARC

Shinya Sawada

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...
