The Institute of Nuclear Theory, together with Jefferson Lab and Brookhaven National Lab,
is organizing a 2-day workshop on special
topics in the physics of hard exclusive processes in ep scattering and
generalized parton distributions (GPDs). The event will be hosted by
the University of Maryland. The aim of the workshop is to
The workshop is specifically intended to prepare the community
for the upcoming discussions of the DOE long-range plan.
We plan to continue this effort by writing a White Paper
summarizing the options for future experimental and
theoretical studies in this exciting area of hadronic physics.
The program will consist of several coordinated topical discussion
sessions, with an introduction by the coordinator, short prepared
contributions by participants, and open discussion.
The coordinators will approach participants before
the Workshop and solicit contributions on specific topics.
We encourage interested people to attend and contribute to the
discussions of all topics even if they are not specifically
asked to give a presentation. We expect about 30 participants.
