Chiral Dynamics 2006

Chiral Dynamics 2006 Last Announcement

Chiral Dynamics, Theory & Experiment : September 18-22, 2006, Chapel Hill, North Carolina:: \Last Circular

This workshop is the 5th in the series which started in 1994 at M.I.T. The previous workshops have been held at Mainz (1997), JLab (2000), and Bonn (2003). The 5th workshop will take place September 18th through the 22nd, 2006. The workshop will be hosted by Duke University (in association with Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory, TUNL). The purpose of this workshop series is to bring physicists together who are active in this field, as well as those who are interested, to discuss and debate the most recent and future developments in various topics related to the study of Chiral Dynamics. The workshop traditionaly draws a near equal contribution from theorists and experimentalists. The organizers for the workshop are:

Scope of the Workshop

The chiral symmetry present in the QCD Lagrangian along with Goldstone's theorem makes is possible to obtain an approximate QCD solution at low energies using an effective field theory known as chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) or Chiral Dynamics. Topics which will be discussed at this workshop are : Goldstone Boson Dynamics, Hadron Structure and Meson-Baryon Interactions, Few-Body Physics, and Lattice QCD and Chiral Perturbation Theory. In addition to the plenary talks, these topics will be the focus of three different working groups:

Working Group Leaders
Goldstone Boson Dynamics Aron Bernstein , and Gilberto Colangelo
Hadron Structure & Boson-Nucleon Interactions Thomas Hemmert, and Alan Nathan
Few-Body Physics Hans-Werner Hammer, Dan Phillips, and Nasser Kalantar

More information about the workshop, registration, site, and accomodationscan be found on the web at : http://www.tunl.duke.edu/events/cd2006/

The second circular, which will present a preliminary program of the plenary sessions, will be available in early 2006.
