8th International Workshop on Chiral Dynamics

The International Workshop on Chiral Dynamics 2015, the eighth in a series which started in 1994 at MIT, and was later held in Mainz (1997), Jefferson Lab (2000 and 2012), Bonn (2003), Duke (2006) and Bern (2009), will take place in Pisa, from June 29 to July 3 2015, and will be jointly hosted by the Department of Physics of the University of Pisa and the Pisa branch of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare. The purpose of this workshop series is to bring physicists together who are active in this field, as well as those who are interested, to discuss and debate the most recent achievements and future developments. The workshop will have a near equal contribution from theorists and experimentalists and, as in the latest editions, a strong synergy with the lattice community will be present. Topics: Hadron structure Isospin breaking in hadronic systems Meson-meson and meson-baryon interaction Effective field theory and chiral perturbation theory Few-body physics Compton scattering and the polarizabilities of the nucleons Hadronic contributions to g_mu-2 Lattice QCD and nuclear physics In addition to the plenary talks, these topics will be the focus of the three following working groups: Goldstone Boson Working Group Conveners: M. Antonelli (Frascati), S. Descotes-Genom (Orsay), A. Juettner (Southampton), E. Passemar (LANL) Hadron Structure and Meson-Baryon Interaction Working Group Conveners: J.P. Chen (Jlab), M. Hoferichter (Bern), P. Solvignon (UNH/JLab), A. Walker-Loud (W&M) Few-Body Physics Working Group Conveners: M. Ahmed (NCCU/TUNL), D. Lee (NCSU), A. Parreno (Barcelona), A. Rusetsky (Bonn)
