111. Multiplicities and spin asymmetries in SIDIS

Maria Żurek

10/21/26, 9:00 AM

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. This talk will present an overview of recent...

112. Light Nuclei from Ab Initio Theory

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...

116. News from Belle II

Renu Garg

10/21/26, 10:50 AM

The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider provides a clean environment for precision studies of flavor physics and searches for physics
beyond theStandard Model. In this talk, I will present recent Belle II results, focusing on CP violation, electroweak penguin processes, and semileptonic $B$ decays.
These measurements provideimportant tests of...

114. Reconstructing hadron structure using AI/ML

Wally Melnitchouk

10/21/26, 11:35 AM

We discuss recent developments in using AI/ML techniques to reconstruct the partonic structure of hadrons. These include the application of normalizing flows to parametric QCD global analysis to improve Bayesian inferences of data resampling, and finite-element methods for PDF and GPD reconstruction using Gaussian processes.
