SECOND CIRCULAR (February 2014)
You are cordially invited to participate and present in the LC2014 workshop
“Theory and Experiment for Hadrons on the Light Front ”
under the auspices of the International Light-cone Advisory Committee (ILCAC) Inc.
This workshop is the 2014 edition of a series of prestigious conferences on lightcone
physics. It will be organized by the Department of Physics, College of Sciences of the
North Carolina State University (NCSU), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA and will be held at
the NCSU Campus, Raleigh, May 26-30, 2014. On-site registration/welcome reception is
from 6:00pm – 10:00pm Sunday, May 25th at the Hearth in Riddick Hall.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
•
•
•
•
•
•

•
Light Front Field Theory and QCD
12 GeV JLab Upgrade and Hadron Physics
Lattice Gauge Theories
LHC Physics
Relativistic Models for Hadrons and Nuclear Structure
Finite Temperature and Density
EIC Physics
AdS/CFT Duality
The central theme in this workshop is the interface between theory and experiment in
hadron physics. In anticipation of opportunities afforded by new facilities such as the 12
GeV upgrade of Jefferson Lab, the FAIR facility at GSI, J-PARC, and other facilities
around the globe, we plan to organize a timely scientific program to make a representative
impact on the forefront research development of nuclear, hadron and particle physics. We
encourage many young physicists to join and actively discuss with the world experts
participating in this meeting.
