CAKE SEMINAR

Previous presentations available here.

QCD Evolution 2025 will be held at Jefferson Lab on May 19 - 23, 2025. The main objective of the workshop will be to provide a forum to discuss recent scientific accomplishments in areas such as generalized parton distributions (GPDs), transverse momentum distributions (TMDs), and small-x physics, together with advances in perturbative and nonperturbative techniques within QCD, such as lattice QCD and effective field theories. The abstract submission and registration are now open at the workshop's website.

Congratulations to Arkatiz Rodas (JLab and Old Dominion University) for being awarded the 2025 Simon Eidelman prize "for outstanding contributions to hadronic physics, in particular in resolving a decades-old controversy about the existence of a scalar strange meson resonance k0*(700), and providing significant theoretical developments for data analysis and experimental proposals."
