The 12th Circum-Pan-Pacific Symposium on High Energy Spin Physics, PacificSpin2024, will take place between November 9 to November 12, 2024. The registration is on November 8, 2024. The Symposium venue is Hefei, China. 

This Symposium aims to enhance communications among physicists from the Circum-Pan-Pacific region and other regions. Participation of young physicists in this Symposium is strongly encouraged. Symposia in this series took place in Miyazaki(2019), Taipei(2015), Ji'nan(2013), Cairns(2011), Yamagata(2009), Vancouver(2007), Tokyo(2005), Washington(2003), Beijing(2001), Wako(1999), and Kobe (1996)

PacificSpin 2024 will be jointly hosted by Anhui University of Science & Technology (AUST) and University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), sponsored by University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), Peking University (PKU), Shandong University (SDU). 

Topics of the symposium

The tentative topics of the symposium include:

  • Transverse and longitudinal spin structure of the nucleon
  • Polarized parton distribution functions and fragmentation functions
  • Transverse momentum dependent distributions
  • Generalized parton distributions and form factors
  • Spin physics in future electron-ion colliders (EICs) 
  • Spin polarization in heavy ion collisions
  • Spin structure of the nucleon in Lattice QCD and effective QCD models
  • New ideas, methods and future facilities
     

Spin is a basic property of elementary particles. Discoveries concerning Spin often trigger physicists to open a new chapter of physics. The spin structure of the nucleon has extensively been studied, in particular in the last 30 years since EMC’s result was released. The transverse structure and 3-dimensional picture of the nucleon spin are now being investigated. These provide important tests of QCD and help our understanding of QCD. Those subjects will be discussed in details.

Pacific Spin 2024 will consist of invited talks and talks selected from contributed papers. All talks will be presented in plenary sessions. There will be a 30-min discussion session each day. The deadline for abstract submission for contributed talks is TBD. Please note that those who have submitted abstracts and have been selected to oral presentations can do registration with a reduced registration fee until TBD.
