11:30 → 13:00 AMBER: An experimental approach to the Emergence of Hadron Mass

Abstract:

AMBER is a new fixed-target experiment at CERN that focuses on Hadron Physics. Hadrons are the building blocks of all visible matter. As far as we presently know it, their constituent quarks and gluons interact according to the Quantum Chromodynamics theory. But how exactly the observed properties of hadrons — mass, spin, momentum and space distributions -- emerge as we see them at the various probing scales, is a matter of intense study and debate. The already approved AMBER scientific programme makes use of the unique M2 beamline at CERN, providing both charge muon and hadron beams of high intensity in a wide range of momenta, from 50 up to 280 GeV/c. A highly modular spectrometer of wide angular and momentum coverage, allows to address the different physics topics, from hadron structure to spectroscopy. AMBER started its first phase of measurements in 2023, and is presently preparing a scientific proposal for a second phase.
