PROGRAM:
13:30 - 13:45 - Refreshments
13:45 - 14:45 - High-energy resummation effects in Heavy Quarkonium production physics, Maxim Nefedov, Ben Gurion University
Abstract:
In the talk, an overview of inclusive heavy quarkonium production theory -- the Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorisation, and corresponding phenomenology in proton-proton and electron-proton collisions will be given (see also the recent review [1] and the paper [2]). Then the resolution of perturbative instability of some observables in inclusive hadroproduction of eta-c mesons [3], inclusive photoproduction of J/psi [4] and exclusive photoproduction of J/psi [5] at NLO with the help of the resummation of high-energy logarithms in the hard process will be discussed. The continuation of this program beyond the Doubly-Logarithmic Approximation of Refs. [3,4,5] will be also mentioned if time permits (see [6,7]).

14:45 - 15:15 - Coffee break
15:15 - 16:15 - Short-range correlations and quantum computing in nuclear physics, Ronen Weiss, The Hebrew University
Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss my research of the quantum many-body problem with focus on nuclear physics and universal features shared by different systems, relevant for atomic and condensed-matter physics as well. I will present my work on short-range physics and on quantum computing algorithms with the goal of tackling current limitations in our description of such systems. First, I will discuss a theory for a consistent description of short-range correlations and demonstrate its successful description of various observables in nuclear systems and the path it opens for further advancements in the field. I will then turn to my work on quantum computing algorithms for calculating reaction cross sections in many-body quantum systems, important for utilizing current and future advancements in quantum hardware. I will discuss different relevant aspects, including mapping to qubits, state preparation and time evolution algorithms. Throughout my talk I will emphasize the connection to major experimental efforts in nuclear physics and beyond, and studies of physics beyond the Standard Model.
