115. Status of the PIONEER Experiment

Sean Foster

10/23/26, 9:00 AM

PIONEER is a next-generation rare pion decay experiment approved to take place at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). Its primary goal is to measure the branching ratio of charged pion decays into electrons versus muons to an accuracy of 0.01%. Achieving this goal would improve on the current experimental precision by more than an order of magnitude and match the precision of the Standard Model...

113. AI and Machine Learning Across Experimental Nuclear Physics

Yeonju Go (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

10/23/26, 9:45 AM

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are becoming increasingly important tools for addressing challenges across experimental Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), from medium-energy nuclear physics and the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) to high-energy nuclear and particle physics at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider. Applications span detector design...

118. Recent results from BES III

Hong-Fei Shen

10/23/26, 10:50 AM

BESIII has accumulated large data samples in the tau-charm energy region, providing a rich laboratory for studies of hadron spectroscopy, fundamental symmetries, and charm physics. In this talk, I will present selected highlights from the recent BESIII physics program. I will discuss recent progress in the search for glueballs, with particular attention to studies of the X(2370) in radiative...

119. Hadron Spectroscopy with GlueX: Exotic States, Spin Dynamics, and Hadronization

Hao Li

The GlueX experiment in Hall D at Jefferson Lab studies the spectrum of light hadrons in photoproduction with a high-energy, linearly polarized photon beam. A central goal is the search for new states in the hadron spectrum, including states with gluonic degrees of freedom, pursued in both the non-strange sector, through manifestly exotic quantum numbers, and the strange sector, as...
