Description
JINR-CUBA SCHOOL:
"HADRON STRUCTURE AND HADRONIC MATTER PHYSICS"
Organizers
Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR)
Nuclear Energy and Advanced Technologies Agency (AENTA)
Institute of Cybernetics, Mathematics and Physics (ICIMAF)
Specialized Diagnostic and Therapy Center (CIMEQ-CEDT)
Havana University / InSTEC (UH-INSTEC)
Date: December 1-5, 2025
Location: Hotel NH Capri, La Habana, Cuba
Scientific Scope of the School
The School is aimed at providing insights into the contemporary status of high-energy physics, with emphasis on collisions of heavy ions and hadrons, as well as providing an overview of research topics of the NICA collider at JINR.
The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) is a large international intergovernmental scientific organization known all around the world for its outstanding contribution to fundamental physics. A significant complex of core facilities, such as research reactor and accelerators. Special attention is paid to the NICA accelerator complex at JINR, where the most fundamental problems related to the strongly interacting matter will be investigated. This unique facility will allow to perform both applied and fundamental research in different fields of science and technology.
SCHOOL PROGRAM
A series of 3 daily lectures are forseen plus 1.5 hour discussion session.
