Workshop on Nuclear Matter from Effective Theories 2026

The properties of nuclear matter, which are fundamentally linked to the nonperturbative nature of the strong interaction, have been investigated for several decades. However, many ambiguities still persist, and no consensus has yet been reached. Over the past decade, substantial data from terrestrial experiments and astrophysical observations have been accumulated. In the coming decade, more precise measurements are expected, along with the commissioning of new facilities. Consequently, it is expected that breakthroughs in our understanding of nuclear matter may appear in the near future. To advance this field, we are planning to organize an on-site "brainstorming" workshop bringing together a limited number of experts from different subfields to address the key challenges in nuclear matter physics. We hope this ctivity will shed light on fundamental theoretical physics issues, including equation-of-state models, emergent symmetries, and the mechanisms underlying hadron mass generation.

Topics:

1. Constraints on the EoS
2. Models of nuclear matter
3. Emergent symmetries in nuclear matter
4. Origin of hadron mass
5. Quark-hadron continuity
