Non-Perturbative and Topological Aspects of QCD

29 May 2024, 09:30 → 30 May 2024, 23:00 Europe/Zurich

4/3-006 - TH Conference Room (CERN)

Alba Soto Ontoso (CERN), Kyle Cormier (University of Zurich (CH)), Matthias Schott (CERN / University of Mainz), Michelangelo Mangano (CERN), Ynyr Harris (University of Bonn (DE))

The goal of the workshop is to discuss the theoretical description of soft QCD physics with respect to recent measurements and discuss future directions for experimental measurements and theoretical developments. Our focus will be on the potential of LHC data to constrain our understanding of QCD in the soft and/or non-perturbative regime and with additional focus on topological aspects.
